Now Available

Milan (Italy), 8 April 2019ANGEL™ GT II is the new Pirelli Sport Touring tyre, the successor of the highly regarded, award winning ANGEL™ GT and the evolution of the Italian brand’s interpretation of the Gran Turismo concept.
Pirelli has designed ANGEL™ GT II with the aim of rewriting the rules of the Sport Touring segment thanks to key features including high mileage, sporty handling and grip combined with fantastic wet conditions behaviour and great confidence and safety to the rider. 
The carcass with innovative variable cord end count over tyre section and high-silica compounds combined with a new tread pattern design - derived from World Superbike ‘intermediate’ race tyres - set the benchmark for performance and optimise the effect of electronic rider aids.

The Gran Turismo designation generally refers to travelling at speed over a long distance, with safety and comfort. Most importantly GT signifies making the ride able to offer emotions and fun, in other words, giving great riding pleasure.
ANGEL™ GT II development has been focused on consolidating the former ANGEL™ GT’s strengths - already a benchmark for mileage and versatility with different bikes and conditions - enhancing wet performance, riding pleasure and confidence in order to define a new reference point for the Sport Touring tyre segment, in-line with Pirelli DNA and the Gran Turismoconcept.

ANGEL GT II

The reason why Pirelli has decided to develop a new product in this tyre segment generates from its relevant and growing market volume and from the competitive scenario where products need to keep pace with the evolving need of motorcylists and motorcycles.

The technical development of ANGEL™ GT II in terms of profiles, structures, compounds and tread pattern targeted the following main objectives:
 
• To ensure maximum adherence in all road conditions, linear behaviour in lean transition and consistently support line-holding;
 
• To couple the sportiness of Pirelli DNA to exceptional performance also in full wet conditions;
 
• To further raise the bar for tyre lifespan in the segment where its predecessor was already a reference;
 
• To maximise the effect of electronic rider aids.

ANGEL GT II

The new ANGEL™ GT II has been developed to meet the needs of three different motorcyclist groups:
 

  • Grand tourers

These riders extensively travel on medium-to-long distances both alone or with pillion passenger and luggage.They ride sport tourers, adventure bikes and the new generation of crossover machines.They demand extended mileage, great stability when heavily loaded, enhanced comfort from dampening, and great safety and confidence, even in the wet.
 

  • Smart urbans

These riders use their machines all year long to commute and for urban mobility, with occasional short or medium length free-time trips. They ride super-sport, naked/roadster bikes, sport tourers and the new generation of crossovers. They demand control and braking grip in all conditions including wet and need light handling at low speed. Sometimes they don’t disdain engage in a more dynamic and exciting ride.

  • Free timers

These riders use their bikes mainly for short week-end trips. They ride mainly super-sport, adventure bikes and the new generation of crossovers. They demand sporty handling, plenty of grip but with extended mileage, performance in the wet and versatility to loading conditions.
