1. New Pattern Excellent riding performance is achieved by maximizing grip, during both acceleration and deceleration, thanks to the deployment of three-dimensional grooves... Enhanced cornering performance, a crucial feature of racing tyres, and a high degree of freedom in cornering are achieved through the adoption of optimum shape and groove alignment. 2. Compound and Structure Tuning The high degree of freedom in cornering is enhanced by superb tuning of the compound and structure of both front and rear tyres. Immediate high-level grip is secured from the start of the run and is sustained throughout use. The medium compound, the only selection available for the front tyre, is capable of serving various and wide-ranging needs. This is direct trickle down effect from the Moto Gp tyres which also have an incredible wide operating temperature range.
