ROADTEC™ 02
Sport Touring
BENEFITS
2 TYRES IN ONE
Super-Sport or Sport-Touring according to your riding style
When riding softly the long groves under the footprint grant an optimal water evacuation and proper tread mobility that contribute to quick warm-up, contact-patch conformability and hence better comfort and grip: the optimal behavior of a Sport-Touring class tyre.
When riding sporty and the tyre is engaged at a higher pace, the walls of the narrow portion of the grooves join together increasing tread pattern stability. This entrusts the compound to deliver all the grip potential, improves trajectory precision especially when leaning, and determinates a Super-Sport class tyre behavior.
HANDLING
ROADTEC™ 02 improves the riding pleasure and ease of handling
The footprint surface is very smooth thanks to the reduced quantity of grooves over the tread pattern, thus increasing the quality and ease of handling.
Less grooves translates to less interruptions of the surface, bringing less vibrations, less noise and a more uniform transition from upright to leaning.
GRIP ON DRY
ROADTEC™ 02 improves GRIP in dry conditions
The greater rate of rubber in contact with the ground enables the footprint area to generate more grip. Moreover, the Adaptive Tread Patter design increases the tread compactness and reactivity when riding faster.
Rear sizes feature a dual-compound layout, with a soft shoulder stripe that increase grip when leaning.
This soft stripe covers approximately 80% of the tyre width, equally split between the two sides.
GRIP ON WET
ROADTEC™ 02 improves GRIP in wet conditions
The new generation of full-silica compounds of both the fronts and rears improve the chemical adhesion to wet roads.
The use of similar compounds on the front and rear shoulders, provides an homogeneous contact feeling when leaning.
TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY
ROADTEC™ 02 is made of more than 43% of Bio-based and Recycled materials*
ROADTEC™ 02 obtained ISO 14021. This certification was carried out by an independent third-party (Bureau Veritas) and verifies the percentage of materials content, in all the plants in which ROADTEC™ 02 is produced.*thanks to a combination of physical segregation and mass balance approach. Depending on tyre size, bio-based and recycled content ranges between 14-19% and 28-34% respectively. Bio-based materials are natural rubber, textile reinforcements, bio-chemicals and bio-resins, while recycled materials are - through mass balance - synthetic rubber, silica and carbon black.
EXPLORE THE DETAILS
The tread pattern design adapts to the riding style and modifies the tyre behavior.
The walls of the narrow portion of the grooves (in dark blue) join together when the tyre is engaged at a higher pace and modifies the behavior of the tread from sport-touring to super-sport.
