? Revolutionary front tyre technology, for transparent feedback during braking for corners

? High lateral grip from the Black Chili compound makes extreme g-forces possible at maximum lean angles

? Continuous Compound Technology ensures high mileage, for endurance racing or track days


Continuous Compound-Technologie:
Makes it possible to use an homogeneous grip grading with a single compound thanks to a temperature controlled curing of the tyre during the production process

Shoulder area, flexible = Grip

they look great tho, but the price is huge i guess ,
