240/40 VR 18 M/C (79V) TL
The ultimate V-Twin tyre to perfect the performance of the V-Twins of yesterday, today and tomorrow
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.
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 improves also linear handling and side-to-side transitions throughout tyre lifespan – whether during enthusiastic solo riding or whilst carrying a passenger.

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 minimises 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.
