At DMG Motorsports, we present the Pirelli Night Dragon GT in 180/55 B 18 M/C 80H TL Reinf — the ultimate custom cruiser tire that delivers Pirelli's legendary sporty feeling with the added endurance of the GT edition. Engineered for high-performance Harley-Davidson and metric cruisers, this tire is built for riders who demand exceptional grip on the straights and through the twisties, without ever sacrificing mileage. Featuring Pirelli's advanced Full Carbon Black compound and EPT (Enhanced Patch Technology) derived from the world of sportbike racing, the Night Dragon GT raises the bar for what a cruiser tire can do — giving you more confidence, more control, and more miles on every ride.
Features:
- GT Edition for Increased Mileage: Up to 20% longer lasting than the standard Night Dragon, purpose-built for larger and heavier motorcycles in high-mileage scenarios.
- Advanced Full Carbon Black Compound: Premium compound formulation delivers improved mileage without compromising grip or performance.
- EPT (Enhanced Patch Technology): Derived from Pirelli's sportbike tire engineering, EPT maximizes the contact patch for great stability at high speeds and lightning-quick acceleration.
- Stiffer Carcass Construction: Structure stiffening and high belt tension create a reinforced (REINF) carcass for superior stability, feedback, and handling.
- Optimized for Modern V-Twin Engines: 8% more contact area means more power efficiently transmitted to the ground, ideal for today's high-torque V-Twin and metric powerplants.
- Outstanding Wet & Dry Grip: Increased grip in all conditions with noticeably better handling on both backroads and the highway.
