a c c e s s o r i e s n Pirelli Night Dragon – Where performance meets the street The new Pirelli Night Dragon performance cruiser tyre is now available in Australia. The new Night Dragon introduces a new generation of custom touring tyres, dedicated to American and Metric V-Twin cruiser motorcycles. Driven by racing technology, the Night Dragon is aggressively designed to give big improvements in straight line grip and overall handling with respectable mileage. Developed over three years in the USA and Europe, the Night Dragon is aimed at riders who want a set of performance tyres that don’t sacrifice handling for long mileage. It matches the evolution of new bikes needs in terms of traction and grip, offering riders a new type of tyre not available in the market place before. The latest generation of hot-rodded v-twin bikes with increased engine sizes, more horsepower, more torque and upgraded suspension creates a combination that demands performance tyres dedicated to transferring that performance to the street. The secret to the Night Dragons performance is the exclusive design of its contact patch. It’s a new shape with a larger dimension, allowing for new compounds to increase durability and traction. This new structure also provides optimum pressure distribution across the contact patch with unmatched riding comfort. The Night Dragons street wise tread pattern blends both style and riding performance. Its tread pattern maximizes the contact patch for fast warm up, quickly giving the rider the confidence of stability and traction. At the same time, the hydrodynamics of its groove placement offers efficient draining in wet riding conditions. The Night Dragon’s front tread design cuts a path through the water for the rear tyre, while the calibrated grooves of the rear tyre disperse the residual water for more grip in wet conditions. The Night Dragon’s claimed performance advantage is achieved with new front and rear tyre profiles. This gives the tyres a linear steering response and quick handling. Combined with the Night Dragon’s structural balance between stiffness and flexibility, there is predictable handling at every lean angle. With a proprietary compound derived from Pirelli’s racing developments and street tyre experience, the Night Dragon tyres provide high grip at full lean and full throttle, using the latest trends in performance tyre design.
