Great handling, line taking and holding
CRUISETEC™ enhances machine handling thanks to the combination of
sport-touring derived profiles and robust carcasses. In a segment
dominated by large and heavy motorcycles, the strong structural support
still features the conformability of performance-oriented technological
solutions.
Immediate response at all stages also in wet conditions
Dual-compound rear sizes with a high rate of silica promote fast warm-up
and chemical grip on wet asphalt whilst the tread pattern design
delivers increased mechanical grip. The new compound recipes are coupled
with innovative structural elements whilst the combination of liquid
polymers with the latest generation of plasticizers maximise footprint
conformability.
Enjoy enhanced cornering grip
The innovative compounds and their layout on the rear tyre blend
performance into tyre strength, required by the big motorcycles with
plenty of torque.
Handling preserved throughout the entire tyre lifespan
The combination of a solid tread pattern with constant-curvature
contours and dual-compound layout ensures even wear and a constant area
of the contact patch when moving from the upright to lean. This
preserves the tyre contour thanks to wear evenness, and also improves
linear handling and side-to-side transitions throughout tyre lifespan –
whether during enthusiastic solo riding or whilst carrying a passenger.
CRUISETEC™ is designed to match the mileage of stock V-Twin tyres, but
the consistency of its performance provides incomparable riding pleasure
during its entire lifespan.
Unbeatable line holding
The combined elasto-plasticity of the rear tyre side compound strips is
developed to enhance confidence and stability when pushing to the limit
and to deliver a neutral and effortless steering when riding leisurely.
Solid front-end feeling
Stiffer cords with lower end count allow more room for thicker rubber
interstices, which offers enhanced damping properties. The result is a
greater conformability of the contact patch that minimizes the feeling
of a floating front-end when exiting turns and unsettling situations
like ‘groove wander’ often perceived when riding on rain grooves or
bumpy roads.
The best response in wet conditions
Silica compound coupled with conformable carcass and tread pattern
contribute to deliver outstanding confidence also in wet conditions;
Linear contact-patch response with all generations of electronic rider
aids
CRUISETEC™ is capable of effectively working with all generations of
electronic rider aids. It’s compounds and structure are tuned to soften
contact patch pulsations experienced, particularly with old ABS systems.
