Handling SPORTY
Ultra high driving quality brought to life with the aramid reinforcement belt.
The aramid reinforcement belt is created with the most superior materials found in the tyre industry today.
This allows for an impressive handling performance and also maintains the optimised shape of the contact surface.
B Aramid – strongest fibre on earth
Para-aramid, the strongest polymer material
Aramid is a high performing super fibre which is why most of its production is used in important technological industries such as the military, aircrafts, aerospace
and marine biology. Its specific strength is more than that of iron and steel. Excluding 99% of sulfur substances, aramid is so resistant it can withstand all chemical substances
without dissolving or decomposing, and the stability that prevents melting at high temperatures also only carbonises at temperatures over 500°C.
