Pirelli Night Dragon: Premium Performance Meets Sophisticated Design

March 3 2008, Daytona, Florida - There are events that must be lived, and the presentation of the new Pirelli NIGHT DRAGON during the Daytona Speed Week is one of them.
Pirelli, since ever meaning of excellence, performance and passion, has chosen this event to present its new performance product for the custom bikes

Night Dragon represents the contact between performance and style, between the world of speed and the custom world, between the passion that always has characterized Pirelli values and products, and the passion of the V-Twin world.

Daytona Bike Week is the ideal world, where in a week of adrenaline and chromatins all the different bike worlds meet for a definitely unique event where racing joins custom, where the sporty bikes join Harley Davidsons. For this reason Daytona, with something like 600.000 bikes, represents the right place for Pirelli to present its new NIGHT DRAGON, a mix of tradition, passion, emotion and performance. The first performance product dedicated to the V-Twins: it's where performance meets the street.

Pirelli philosophy is clear: tires must offer always reference performances, tires must offer to the biker exactly what he wants to in order to enjoy to the full of its bike and its riding style whatever they are.

Power is nothing without control.

Constructed to fit both Harley-Davidson® and metric cruiser riders, NIGHT DRAGON meets the increased engine sizes, torque / horsepower needs and upgraded suspensions of today's V-twins.

In order to join all the different motorcycle worlds and to answer the different needs that characterize V-Twin NIGHT DRAGON is crafted for predictable feel and feedback, mixed with a compound for high mileage and extreme grip at full lean and full throttle.

Initial sizes will be replacement fitment for Harley-Davidson® Road King, Road Glide, Street Glide, Electra Glide and Sportster models. Additional Harley-Davidson® model fitments and metric v-twins will follow.

When performance is as important as passion, the Pirelli Night Dragon conquers the road like no other tire.
