MOTORCYCLE TIRE

A motorcycle tire (1) includes crown blocks (4) including first crown blocks (6) and second crown blocks (7). Each of the first crown blocks (6) has a heel-side edge (11) formed in a V-shape and inclined at an angle (α1) of 10 to 45 degrees on both axial sides with respect to the tire axial direction. A total number of the first crown blocks (6) is in the range from 30% to 70% of a total number of the crown blocks (4). Each of the second crown blocks (7) has a second ground contacting surface shape (7a) having a maximum length (WC) in the tire axial direction smaller than a maximum length (W1) in the tire axial of the first ground contacting surface shape (6a) of each of the first crown blocks (6).
