NHS competition tires for professional supermoto racing

Racetec™ line tire specialized for supermoto. Advanced racing compounds and profile for the most effective straight and sideways riding.

Compounds:

RACETEC™ SM front compounds are 100% silica compound with a reduced porosity, capable of ensuring fast warm up and self-cleaning properties when riding in the off road section of the track.
Can be used with or without tire warmers.
Compound choice should be based on track surface conditions: Asphalt friction coefficient (Abrasive or not) and asphalt temperature (with the threshold being around 77-86° degree).
Available in K1 (soft) and K2 (medium) compounds.

Construction & Handling:

The only supermoto tire adopting 0° radial steel belt both on front and rear tires, coupled with a lightweight carcass to promote ease of handling and trajectory holding. The result is a stable tire that distributes forces uniformly to the contact surface.
Rear profile is obtained through the Multiple Radius Contour technology, which deliver different behaviors at different lean angles. The Crown and shoulders feature a sharper radius for faster and precise handling (crown) and greater cornering stability (shoulder).

RIM SIZE NOTE: Please double check front rim size on your bike. Most street legal supermoto bikes come with a 17" rim from the factory, while factory race supermoto bikes like FS450 and 450SMR come with a 16.5" front tire.

CLOSED-COURSE USE ONLY: These are race tires, they are NOT approved for use on public roads or highways.
