PIRELLI
Pirelli moto tyres are always on the top in international motorcycle racing: this is the result of the commitment of Pirelli engineers and technicians who work with the common goal of reaching the top in terms of quality, performance and reliability. Learn more about the features of tyre that suits your style: motorcycle, scooter, motorbike tyres to get around safely in every situation. Thanks to Pirelli moto tyres you always find the best grip for any driving style
MOTORCYCLE TYRES KNOWLEDGE
While motorcycle tires have existed for more than 100 years, their appearance has changed dramatically. Modern motorcycles have little in common with early motorcycles that were modeled after bicycles. One consistent part is the tyre, which has been an integral piece of the motorcycle since its inception. Modern radial tyres made by PIRELLI are high-tech and have progressed since their introducion on motorcycles of 100 years ago. Below you will find the various constructions that PIRELLI uses today.
SIDEWALL MARKINGS
The tyre is the only part of the motorcycle that makes contact with the road. That is why correct use and maintenance of your motorcycle’s tyres, as well as knowledge of the tyre’s characteristics, increases the lifespan of the tyre, saves money and promotes safety. Always remember to ride drive safely and respect the environment.
TYRES TECHNOLOGY
RADIAL CARCASS CONSTRUCTION
The patented technology enables the structure of both front and rear tyre to be achieved using a radial carcass and a single layer belt made of steel. Depending on the rolling direction of the tyre, the belt is wound circumferentially around the carcass giving an angle close to 0°. The advantages of the use of steel are its extremely high rigidity and the possibility to tune the winding spacing thus differentiating the stiffness distribution from shoulder to crown.
RADIAL CROSS BELTED CONSTRUCTION
The patented technology enables the structure of both front and rear tyre to be achieved using a radial carcass and a single layer belt made of steel. Depending on the rolling direction of the tyre, the belt is wound circumferentially around the carcass giving an angle close to 0°. The advantages of the use of steel are its extremely high rigidity and the possibility to tune the winding spacing thus differentiating the stiffness distribution from shoulder to crown.
BIAS BELTED CONSTRUCTION
The structure consists of a conventional carcass and a belt made of two or more crossed layers. The difference between the carcass and the belt is determined by the different goals they are designed to fulfill and consequently different materials are used in the construction. The belt is made mainly from Aramide and its function is to reduce the dynamic deformation caused by centrifugal forces, while the carcass provides the tyre with its stiffness and load carrying capacity.
CROSS PLY CONSTRUCTION
Also indicated as conventional or x-ply tyre. Depending on the different speed and load specifications, the tyre carcass is structured using two or more overlapping layers. Each layer is made of rubber coated textile cords and the overlap angle is designed in order for the tyre to conform with the required dynamic characteristics.
