ROADSMART IV TIRE

PROFILES
Both front and rear tire profiles are changed significantly, resulting in 15% lighter steering on turn-in with more linear response. On backcountry roads especially, the ROADSMART IV makes it easier to set up a turn, and the steering is more consistent from upright to full lean for more precise rider feedback. Another benefit: lighter steering decreases the rider fatigue so you can stay sharper, longer.

TREAD PATTERN
The tread patterns work in harmony with the profiles, improving tread wear, grip, and handling (especially in wet conditions). The ROADSMART IV’s optimized groove angles and strengthening of its tread rigidity, through strategically placed thinner tread grooves, contribute to a more even wear across the life of the tire, while maintaining superior wet-weather performance.
