Pirelli has launched the ANGEL GT III, a new Sport Touring tyre designed for better handling, improved performance in wet conditions, and consistent quality throughout its lifespan, all while keeping Pirelli’s sporty character. Compared to earlier models in the ANGEL family, the rear tyre is built for longer durability and less noise for a more comfortable ride, featuring a new tread design. It also showcases a high-contrast sidewall with the ANGEL logo and Gran Turismo lettering.
The ANGEL GT III continues the legacy of the ANGEL series, which has set high standards in the Sport Touring bike market for over fifteen years, appealing to riders looking for sporty handling, enjoyment, and long-distance travel capability.
Set for release in early 2027, ANGEL GT III marks the fourth generation of the ANGEL family, following the ANGEL ST, ANGEL GT, and ANGEL GT II. The series has greatly aided Pirelli’s growth in the competitive Sport Touring market in Europe. Each new generation brings advancements in technology and performance, gaining respect from riders and solidifying the brand’s position in this segment.
Targeting modern mid-sized and large Sport Touring, Crossover, and Naked motorcycles, the ANGEL GT III aims to provide Pirelli’s take on the Gran Turismo riding experience, focusing on control, comfort, and enjoyment.
The tyre offers easier handling, which is especially appreciated by riders in this category. Pirelli aimed to make the motorcycle feel more intuitive, smooth, and less tiring to ride for daily trips and long journeys, while still delivering the precision typical of the brand’s sporty DNA.
Pirelli has also improved wet performance, enhancing confidence and control on wet roads and slippery conditions, building on the achievements of previous models.
Another important aspect of the tyre’s design is consistent performance throughout its life. The ANGEL GT III is engineered to maintain reliable handling as it wears, ensuring riders still enjoy great control and ride satisfaction.
While enhancing comfort and ease of handling, the ANGEL GT III stays true to Pirelli’s sporty roots. It emphasizes performance and steering precision, allowing riders to fully enjoy the Pirelli experience, even on long rides.
Touring comfort has improved with efforts to reduce the rear tyre’s rolling noise, which is crucial for touring riders. This reduction in noise helps lessen fatigue during rides, adding to the enjoyment and control.
Visually, the ANGEL GT III evolves the look of the series while keeping its recognizable features. The new tread design refreshes the signature visuals of the ANGEL range, connecting it to past models while showcasing a style evolution.
Additionally, it features a new high-contrast sidewall design, highlighted by the stylish ANGEL logo and Gran Turismo lettering, which reflects a cherished Italian motorcycling tradition: traveling quickly, comfortably, and in style. The ANGEL GT III embodies this philosophy by blending a sporty essence with a touring spirit in a tyre ready for any road.
