  • Patent number: 11993100
    Abstract: A motorcycle tyre has a tread band (8) comprising a plurality of grooves that form a tread pattern including a module (T) replicated along a circumferential direction of the tyre (1) and having a predetermined circumferential length (C1). The module (T) comprises a pair of circumferential grooves (20) arranged on opposite sides with respect to the equatorial plane (X-X) of the tyre (1). Such circumferential grooves (20) extend along the circumferential direction of the tyre (1) for only part of said predetermined circumferential length (C1) and define between them a central portion (A) of tread band (8) having a void to solid ratio substantially equal to zero and a predetermined axial width (A1).

  • Publication number: 20220410627
    Abstract: A motorcycle tyre (1) is described comprising an equatorial plane (X-X) and a tread band (8) comprising a radially inner portion (13) and a radially outer portion (11) respectively comprising a first and a second vulcanized elastomeric material obtained by vulcanizing respective elastomeric materials comprising 100 phr of at least one elastomeric diene polymer, from 30 to 130 phr of at least one reinforcing filler comprising an amount greater than 75% or, respectively, equal to or greater than 80% of a white filler. In the tyre (1) the ratio R1 between the dynamic elastic modulus (E?) and the tandelta measured at a frequency of 10 Hz and at 70° C. of the first vulcanized elastomeric material is comprised between 27 and 35, whereas the ratio R2 between the dynamic elastic modulus (E?) and the tandelta measured at a frequency of 10 Hz and at 70° C. of the second vulcanized elastomeric material is comprised between 15 and 30, the ratio R1/R2 being greater than or equal to 1.1.

  • Publication number: 20220388351
    Abstract: Motorcycle wheel tyre (1), comprising a carcass structure (2), a belt structure (6) arranged in a radially outer position with respect to the carcass structure (2) and a tread band (8) arranged in a radially outer position with respect to the belt structure (6). The tread band (8) comprises, in an axially inner annular portion thereof, a pair of circumferential grooves (20) arranged on opposite sides with respect to an equatorial plane (X-X) of the tyre (1). The carcass structure (2) comprises at least one carcass ply (3) having opposite end edges (3a) associated with respective annular reinforcing structures (4) to form respective beads (15). Each bead (15) comprises at least one reinforcing element (18) made of an elastomeric material having a rigidity in a circumferential direction greater than the rigidity in a radial direction.

  • Patent number: 11420477
    Abstract: Motorcycles tyre, comprising: a radial carcass structure (2); a belt structure (6) applied in radially outer position with respect to the radial carcass structure (2); a tread band (8) applied in radially outer position with respect to the belt structure (6). The tyre (1) has a curvature ratio (f/C) greater than or equal to about 0.25. The tread band (8) comprises: a plurality of blocks (14) mutually spaced so as to define a tread pattern with a void/solid ratio (1?Sb/St) comprised between about 25% and about 50%; transverse grooves (11) placed in succession along the circumferential extension of the tyre (1) and each substantially extending over the entire axial width of the tread band (8). Each transverse groove (11) substantially extends along an axial direction. Two successive transverse grooves (11) circumferentially delimit an assembly (12) of blocks (14) placed in succession over the entire axial width of the tread band (8). Circumferential grooves (13) delimit the blocks (14) of an assembly (12).
