RACETEC™ SM enables a predictable rear drift, ensuring ease of control in each cornering phase.
The concept of predictable drift derives from the supermoto cornering technique that may be explained as follows: 

• At turn in, when braking and downshifting, the whole weight is transferred to front axle. While the front tyre enhances braking efficiency and trajectory precision. Thanks to the wide profile and 0° steel belt, the rear is almost completely unloaded and the sharp center portion of the profile enables the rider to trigger the rear-end drift
• In the mid-point of the curve, during the lean and with balanced throttle, the weight of the motorcycle is equally split on both tyres. In this context, the combination of the rear wide profile with the specific compound enables the rider to control the drift phase
• At turn out, with full throttle, the load is entirely transferred to rear tyre where sidewall structure deforms to stretch the contact patch to the maximum design value, ending the drifting phase and engaging maximum grip and traction
