High-speed and load clarity - Thanks to 73 W load/speed marking

Load index 73 and speed rating W are standard tyre markings that state maximum load capacity and the tyre's speed rating. These codes help confirm compatibility with a motorcycle's requirements.

Tubeless mounting ready - With TL (tubeless) designation

TL stands for tubeless, indicating the tyre is designed to be mounted on tubeless-compatible rims without an inner tube. Tubeless tyres rely on the rim-to-bead seal to retain air.
