Abstract:
1. A tyre for motorcycles comprising a tread band having a central region and two shoulder regions, said central region extending symmetrically astride an equatorial plane of said tyre over a width less than or equal to 60% of a lateral extension of the tread band, and a tread pattern comprising a series of transverse grooves disposed at least laterally of said equatorial plane being formed on said tread band, wherein: said series of transverse grooves comprises a plurality of main recesses having an overall length equal to at least one fourth of a lateral extension of said tread band; said main recesses define, with said equatorial plane, an angle less than or equal to 65°, substantially over the entire length thereof; and a series of circumferential grooves, wherein said circumferential grooves form an angle of at least 135° with said equatorial plane, wherein said series of transverse grooves comprises a first group of transverse grooves, in which pairs of transverse grooves are mutually connected by one of said circumferential grooves, and a second group of isolated transverse grooves, wherein said tread pattern defines a sea/land ratio less than 10% on said tread band, and said tyre is capable of being fitted on a rear wheel of a motorcycle, and wherein at least some transverse grooves intersect said equatorial plane.
