- Arrives in early 2027
- Claims improved wet-weather performance, handling and durability
- For middleweight and large-capacity motorcycles
Pirelli has just added the new Angel GT III to its sport-touring motorcycle tyre range. It’ll be available in international markets from the beginning of 2027. The new tyre builds on the Angel GT II with a revised tread pattern and construction further improving handling, wet-weather performance and long-distance comfort.
Angel GT III requires lesser steering effort and returns a more natural response when changing directions. It has been developed to make motorcycles easier to manage during everyday use while retaining the steering precision.
Wet-weather performance has received attention with the new tyre providing improved grip and control on wet roads and surfaces with limited traction. Pirelli also claims that the Angel GT III has been designed to maintain more predictable handling characteristics as the tread wears.
The rear tyre receives a redesigned tread pattern intended to improve durability while reducing rolling noise. Sidewall has also been redesigned with a higher-contrast finish featuring the Angel symbol and Gran Turismo lettering.
For India, the Angel GT III could become an interesting addition to the premium motorcycle tyre market. The company already has the Angel GT and Angel GT II in its Indian catalogue. Angel GT III will be for owners riding the Kawasaki Ninja/Z 650, Triumph Trident 660, Ducati Monster and other road-focused middleweights. However, the Angel GT III is primarily a road-going sport-touring tyre and should not be confused with Pirelli’s more off-road-oriented Scorpion range.
