For both front and rear sizes, the change went in the direction of ensuring sharpened profiles, enhancing the agility, a wider contact patch (improving grip by adding more rubber on the ground) and a balanced behavior for the complete set.
Predictability and feedback is enhanced by the employment of a wider contact patch in conjunction of a tyre structure made by rayon carcass plies and coupled with patented 0° steel belt.
This technological solution provides a high degree of structural flexibility and neutral behavior, with the advantage of improving the contact feeling giving the rider the possibility to sharpen the trajectory and act on the throttle.
Wear resistance
RACETEC™ RR COMPK SLICK is the perfect tyre for regular track riding sessions, with or without tyre warmers.
RACETEC™ RR COMPK SLICK compounds have been designed to increase thermal stability and to ensure regular wear.
RACETEC™ RR COMPK SLICK compound, mixing process and the contact patch geometry have a strong impact also on performance consistency and wearing resistance: while the mixing process allow the product to retain its chemical properties through various laps and thermic cycles, the wider contact patch helps in redistributing the stresses across a larger surface, therefore increasing compound wearing resistance.
