At DMG Motorsports, we present the Pirelli Night Dragon Rear Tire in 180/60 B 17 M/C 81H TL Reinforced — the ultimate high-performance cruiser tire for riders who refuse to compromise between grip, mileage, and style. Engineered specifically for high-torque V-Twin engines and tailored to Harley-Davidson and metric cruiser platforms, the Night Dragon delivers a riding experience that outclasses standard tires in every measurable way. Whether you're carving backroads or putting in miles on the interstate, this reinforced rear tire gives you the confidence, control, and aggressive look that serious cruiser riders demand.
Features:
- Reinforced Bias-Ply Construction: The "Reinf" designation makes this tire ideal for heavyweight touring bikes, two-up riding, or wherever OEM specifications call for a reinforced fitment — delivering superior stability and load-carrying capability.
- EPT (Enhanced Patch Technology): Pirelli's proprietary EPT optimizes the contact patch area to ensure great stability at high speeds and lightning-quick acceleration at every lean angle.
- Outstanding Wet & Dry Grip: The Night Dragon increases both wet and dry grip, with an aggressive directional tread pattern that keeps grooves open under dynamic conditions, effectively clearing water for confident riding in unpredictable weather.
- Optimized for V-Twin Engines: Specifically engineered for the new generation of V-Twin engines with more power and higher torque, providing the durability and traction required for spirited riding and long-distance touring.
- 20% Greater Mileage Without Sacrificing Grip: Special durable compounds deliver incredible straight-line acceleration and traction while offering significantly improved tread life compared to standard cruiser tires.
- Modern High-Performance Tread Pattern: Combines high-performance attributes with a bold, updated style — the updated tire profile supports the bike at every lean angle with optimized pressure distribution on the contact patch.
- H-Rated Speed Rating (81H): Rated for speeds up to 130 mph, providing a high-performance solution suited to the demands of today's powerful cruisers.
- Tubeless (TL) Design: 180/60 B 17 tubeless fitment for a 17-inch rear rim, offering a streamlined, modern setup with easy maintenance.
- New Performance Range for Harley-Davidson & Metric Cruisers: Engineered as a performance upgrade over stock tires, providing better adhesion, road holding, and look than standard Custom/Cruiser motorcycle tires.
- Ideal Balance of Stiffness & Flexibility: Structural design provides great stability and comfort with easy steering — resistant but not too rigid; flexible but not elastic — for unbeatable ride comfort and dampening properties.
