SPORTEC™ 01
Grip the dry, own the wet
• Developed to perform on wet roads with supersport-level feeling
• Dynatread™, the adaptive tread design technology
• Precise and responsive steering for accurate line holding and a strong front-end feel
• Patented distinctive supersport tread design
• New high-contrast sidewall design that elevates the tyre’s character

Features

DYNATREAD™ patented technology
DYNATREAD™ technology intervenes at high pace, dynamically closing the grooves (in the green section) delivering excellent on-road performance:

• While braking, the grooves of the front tyre close, enhancing stability and precision
• Under acceleration, the grooves both of the front and the rear compress, maximising grip and traction

At low pace grooves support water evacuation for an improved safety feeling

Tread design
• The unified tread design shared by front and rear tyres enhance braking behavior, stability and balanced performance
• The versatile tread supports strong braking forces on the front and delivers high traction under load on the rear

Rear compounds
It features a high silica dual compound layout (20% centre, 40% each shoulder):

• more rigid and less hysteretic in the centre (grey area) for improved stability at both low and high pace
• softer and more hysteretic on the shoulders (green area) for high grip in cornering and acceleration

Key innovation represented by the base layer: having the same high-performance compound as the shoulders, the tyre provides a more homogeneous grip profile and consistent performance under stress

Front compounds
It features a high silica dual compound with evenly distributed layout: 33% each across centre (grey area) and shoulders (green areas)

The hypersport-oriented dual compound delivers optimal grip across a wide range of temperatures and conditions, while its balanced distribution ensures consistent performance from upright riding to deep lean angles

Key innovation represented by the base layer (blue area): made of carbon black, it enhances braking stability and contributes to a more predictable and confident front-end feel

Structures
Both front and rear tyres share a 0° steel belt, a technological solution which ensures consistent deformation control across lean angles

The plies configuration varies across the set: two rayon plies for the front, one for the rear. This tailored rayon layering provides the necessary stiffness and flexibility to handle the demands of modern supersport riding
