Developed around the demands of urban mobility such as crowded streets, frequent short turns, sudden weather changes, and the need for smooth acceleration and braking, IRC engineers optimized the MB520z’s tread pattern and rubber compound to deliver stable grip, light handling, and smooth riding performance. Tire durability has also been enhanced to withstand frequent daily use, from commuting to school or work to multiple trips throughout the day.
More than just a standard tire, the MB520z helps the ICON e achieve safe, smooth, and energy-efficient performance, making every ride more comfortable and effortless. With the MB520z, every urban journey becomes a more confident and complete riding experience.
Tread Design: The interwoven tread grooves form a V-shaped pattern. The tread surface features multiple grooves that enhance water dispersion, providing better performance on wet roads and during rainy conditions.
Tire Surface: Made from environmentally friendly rubber compounds.
The SCT-009 tire is suitable for both urban roads and gravel terrain, thanks to its polyester cord construction, which helps reduce tire weight while maintaining flexibility, strong load-bearing capability, and high durability.
Tires are used a new rubber compound that helps to grip the road better but does not reduce the life of the tire. Thicker tread rubber increases puncture resistance. Increasing the tire tread ratio helps the tire to increase water drainage better.
