Pirelli has expanded its sport-touring tyre range with the introduction of the new Angel GT III, which is scheduled to reach international markets from early 2027. The latest tyre builds on the Angel GT II, bringing revisions to its tread pattern and construction aimed at improving handling, wet-weather grip and comfort over long distances.
One of the key areas of development is steering response. Pirelli says the Angel GT III requires less steering effort and delivers a more natural feel when changing direction. The aim is to make motorcycles easier to manage during everyday riding without compromising steering precision.
Wet-weather performance has also been improved, with the new tyre designed to offer better grip and control on slippery roads and surfaces with limited traction. Pirelli further claims that its handling characteristics remain more predictable as the tread wears, helping maintain consistent performance throughout the tyre’s service life.
At the rear, a redesigned tread pattern is intended to improve durability while reducing rolling noise. The sidewall has received an update too, featuring a higher-contrast finish with the Angel symbol and Gran Turismo lettering. The latest version is aimed at road-focused middleweight and larger motorcycles, including the Kawasaki Ninja 650 and Z650, Triumph Trident 660 and Ducati Monster. It remains a road-oriented sport-touring tyre, rather than an off-road-focused option from Pirelli’s Scorpion range.
