Why We Like It

• Radial construction keeps the contact patch stable as speed and lean angle build, and runs cooler on long days than a comparable bias tire.
• DOT approved, which means it is street legal not a closed-course tire you have to trailer to.
• Offered in soft compound, so you can match rubber to surface instead of settling for one all-round option.
• Top speed rating in this range is W (168 mph), so the rating is not the limiting factor on most bikes it fits.
• Tubeless throughout the range fewer parts, and a roadside plug is a realistic repair.
