MOTORCYCLE TIRE

A motorcycle tire comprises a carcass and a tread reinforcing layer. The tread reinforcing layer comprises a belt and a band. The band is composed of a jointless band ply having a developed width less than 65% of the developed tread width. The belt is composed of at least one belt ply having a developed width of 65% or more of the developed tread width. At first positions, the intersecting angle between the belt cords and the carcass cords is 20 to 60 degrees. In the tread portion in a tire meridional cross sectional view, a single arc passing through a point on the tread surface at the tire equator and two points on the tread surface at the tread edges has a radius of not more than 0.7 times the maximum tire cross-section width.
