What is 2CT+ Technology?
2CT+ (Two Compound Technology Plus) uses different rubber compounds in the center and shoulder areas of the tyre. The harder compound in the center provides durability and stability, while softer compounds on the shoulders offer superior grip during cornering.
Can I install this tyre myself?
While some experienced individuals may attempt tyre installation, it is strongly recommended to have motorcycle tyres installed by a qualified professional. Proper mounting and balancing are crucial for safety and optimal performance.
How often should I check my tyre pressure?
Tyre pressure should be checked at least once a week, and always before any long rides, using a reliable pressure gauge. Always check when the tyres are cold.
Troubleshooting
Tyre wears unevenly.
Check tyre pressure regularly and ensure it matches manufacturer specifications. Also, have your motorcycle's suspension and wheel alignment inspected by a professional, as these can cause uneven wear.
Loss of grip, especially in wet conditions.
Verify tyre pressure is correct. Inspect the tread for wear indicators, damage, or embedded debris. Ensure the tyre is within its optimal operating temperature range. Avoid excessive lean angles or acceleration on cold or wet surfaces.
Motorcycle feels unstable or handles poorly.
Confirm correct tyre pressure. Check for proper wheel balance and ensure the tyre is correctly mounted. If issues persist, have your motorcycle professionally inspected for suspension or chassis problems.
Tyre seems to lose air quickly.
Inspect the tyre and valve stem for punctures, cuts, or damage. Check the valve core for tightness. If you cannot find the source, seek professional inspection and repair/replacement as a slow leak can be dangerous.
