Abstract
A motorcycle tire includes: a tread band with a tread pattern including, in a zone symmetrically arranged on either side of the equatorial plane, a first module repeatedly duplicated in a direction of circumferential extension of the tire. The module has at least two first longitudinal grooves inclined in an oppositely arranged manner relative to the equatorial plane; and at least two substantially transverse grooves designed to intersect the two longitudinal grooves so as to define at least one block. The zone has a width in the axial direction of between 20% and 65% of the width of the tread band and a solids/voids ratio equal to at least 0.20. The tread pattern also has at least one substantially transverse continuous portion which extends over the entire width of the tread band delimiting at least one end of the module in the circumferential direction.
