A tire () for two-wheeled vehicles comprises a crown () comprising: a tread (), and a hoop reinforcement () comprising at least one hooping ply () comprising one or more hoop reinforcing elements () comprising an assembly made up of a multifilament strand of aromatic polyamide or aromatic copolyamide () and of a multifilament strand of aliphatic polyamide (). The twist factor K of the hoop reinforcing element () ranges from 5.5 to 6.5. The tire () is obtained by a method comprising a step of manufacturing the hooping ply (), in which the bonded reinforcing elements () are embedded in a polymer composition in order to form the uncured hooping ply, the equivalent initial tensile modulus of the uncured hooping ply ranging from 330 to 620 cN/tex/dm.
