Tested on a variety of roads worldwide, the new Exedra Max design ensures excellent stability and fast response. Its have been optimized to reduce noise and improve efficiency for conduction, comfortable, smooth and economical.

The design of inverted V-shaped grooves helps to reduce wear, while maximizing the grip in any condition.
