At DMG Motorsports, we present the Pirelli Night Dragon Front Tire in 130/70 R18 M/C 63V TL — the premium cruising tire that brings Pirelli's legendary sporting performance to the world of custom and Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Engineered specifically for riders who demand high performance on the straight and in the twisties, the Night Dragon delivers an exceptional balance of grip, stability, comfort, and mileage that standard cruiser tires simply cannot match. Whether you're carving backroads or cruising the interstate, this tire is built to keep you confident, in control, and loving every mile.
Features:
- EPT (Enhanced Patch Technology): Derived from Pirelli's sportbike lineup, EPT optimizes the profile, structure, and tread pattern to deliver 8% more contact area — transmitting more power to the ground for great stability at high speeds and lightning-quick acceleration.
- 10% Larger Contact Patch: A new tread dimension and shape allows the use of more durable compounds with increased levels of grip, maximizing product performance at all lean angles.
- Tubeless (TL) Radial Construction: The radial structural design provides great stability and riding comfort, while the tubeless construction ensures straightforward installation and reliable sealing.
- V-Speed Rating (up to 149 mph): The 63V speed rating makes this front tire ideal for spirited rides and long highway journeys, providing the stability and control needed for dynamic riding.
- Outstanding Wet & Dry Grip: The front tread is specifically designed to cut through the water layer, clearing the tarmac and channeling residual water away for confident handling in all weather conditions.
- Complementary Tread Pattern: An innovative full/empty tread ratio places more rubber on the ground, improving safety and traction on all surfaces — wet or dry.
- Ideal Stiffness-to-Flexibility Balance: The new structure is resistant without being too rigid, and deformable and flexible without being elastic, enabling easy, precise steering.
- Optimized Pressure Distribution: The updated tire profile supports the bike at every lean angle with unbeatable dampening properties, delivering a high level of riding comfort.
- DOT Approved: Fully street-legal and compliant with U.S. Department of Transportation standards.
- Designed for Custom & Harley-Davidson Motorcycles: Specifically engineered for V-twin engines with more power and higher torque, fitting a wide range of cruiser models for versatile, high-performance use.
