Racetec™ line tyre specialised for supermoto. Advanced racing compounds and profile for the most effective straight and sideways riding

Front compounds

RACETEC™ SM compounds are differentiated between front and rear tyres.

Fronts are 100% silica compound with a reduced porosity, capable to ensure fast warm up and self-cleaning properties when riding in the off-road section of the track.
RACETEC™ SM can be used also without tyre warmers.
RACETEC™ SM front tyre compound choice should be based on asphalt friction coefficient (high severity/friction and low severity/friction, depending on the circuit or road race) and asphalt temperature (with the threshold being around 25°/30° degree).

Neutral handling and trajectory precision

RACETEC™ SM is the sole supermoto tyre adopting 0° radial steel belt both on front and rear tyres, coupled with a lightweight carcass to promote ease of handling and trajectory holding.

The result is a stable tyre that distributes forces uniformly to the contact surface.
RACETEC™ SM fronts feature a large central diameter which leads to a wide contact patch that enables a more efficient braking and the possibility to keep braking into corners. The thick lateral section provides enhanced dampening properties for off-road sections and prevents chattering on on-road sections.
Rear profile is obtained through the multiple radius contour technology, which deliver different behaviors at different lean angles. The crown and shoulders feature a sharper radius for faster and precise handling (crown) and greater cornering stability (shoulder).

Predictable drift

RACETEC™ SM enables a predictable rear drift, ensuring ease of control in each cornering phase.
The concept of predictable drift derives from the supermoto cornering technique that may be explained as follows: 

  • At turn in, when braking and downshifting, the whole weight is transferred to front axle. While the front tyre enhances braking efficiency and trajectory precision. Thanks to the wide profile and 0° steel belt, the rear is almost completely unloaded and the sharp center portion of the profile enables the rider to trigger the rear-end drift
  • In the mid-point of the curve, during the lean and with balanced throttle, the weight of the motorcycle is equally split on both tyres. In this context, the combination of the rear wide profile with the specific compound enables the rider to control the drift phase
  • At turn out, with full throttle, the load is entirely transferred to rear tyre where sidewall structure deforms to stretch the contact patch to the maximum design value, ending the drifting phase and engaging maximum grip and traction

Please keep Kelly Thompson away from G.I. Joe!
Format: Paperback
I only read this because it was one of the mini series that was setting up the new Energon Universe of GI Joe. The other minis were quite good and I hoped this one would be the same. Nope. It’s terrible. Terrible dialogue, terrible characterization and terrible reimagining of several popular characters. The plot is bare bones, poorly executed, and often so contrived and cliched I'm convinced Thompson must have watched a bunch of ninja movies from the 80s before writing this and thought she was being clever for ripping them off. The art is passable but the artist definitely needs to work on his fight choreography and stop drawing women so jacked. Scarlett and Jinx look like they have been taking steroids. And let’s not forget that Thompson loves writing lesbians, so it’s heavily implied Scarlett and Jinx are a couple. Because that’s what modern audiences want to see, more historically hetero characters made gay. Thompson, like Tom King, needs to be kept far away from popular characters and just stick to creating her own original stories where she can work out her issues and fetishes away from the rest of the mainstream comic reading public. And if I ever see her name on another G.I. Joe comic I will most definitely avoid it like the plague. Just my two cents.

Avatar is about reflecting real world issues, and this comic does not disappoint
Format: Paperback
I will admit that at first, I was disappointed that Turf Wars portrayed homophobia in the Avatar verse. My thought was that if this is a fictional world, why not just have homophobia not exist. But Avatar has always been about reflecting real world issues, and this comic handles those issues in a way that felt honest and close to home. It didn't feel like it was using homophobia to exploit the LGBT characters for drama. As a lesbian, I felt that I could relate deeply to the obstacles that Korra and Asami face while entering their relationship, and dealing with coming out. My girlfriend and I both come from conservative families, so it was important early on to communicate coming out boundaries with each other. When Asami hesitates toward immediately coming out to Korra's parents, this isn't portrayed as a negative thing, just that it's important for Korra and Asami to communicate about this. Another thing I loved was the look that Kya gives Korra and Asami, and how she's immediately able to recognize that they're in a relationship. I love that she becomes a support for them, and they have an LGBT mentor in their lives. That's what makes this comic special, to me. This doesn't just realistically portray an LGBT romantic relationship, it also portrays LGBT community, which I find is far rarer in media. It's virtually non-existent in children's media. The only other example I can think of is an episode of Danger & Eggs which features a pride parade. The media landscape is starved for healthy, realistic, and nuanced portrayals of LGBT couples, but what I hardly ever see is LBGT community and culture shown on top of that. I believe there is room in media for both fiction where homophobia doesn't exists, and fiction where it's portrayed with realism without exploitation. In these cases, it's important to show LGBT characters facing these struggles by finding community with each other. Connection through community is powerful. I don't know who I'd be if I didn't grow up without LGBT friends supporting me and guiding me throughout my coming out process. Seeing a comic portray that process is beautiful, and I hope that's the direction the creative world continues to go in. The art is gorgeous, and the story feels like a natural continuation of the television series. When I read the dialogue, I can hear the character's voices in my mind as if I were watching another episode. I'm excited to learn more about the Avatar universe, and watch Korra, Asami, and all the other characters continue to grow and develop with each other.

I expected it to be good, but instead it's great.
Format: Paperback
A surprisingly re-readable little book. I really look forward to part 2! WRITING: Feels like a true continuation of the show. The characters and the world are just like a Season 5, Episode 1 might have been. Mako and Bolin were great together. Korra and Asami were great together. Of the supporting characters, I was glad to see Tenzin and Lin, and a little sad not to see Varrick or Wu. (Maybe they will fit naturally into the plot somewhere in book 2 or 3 of this series? If not, that's okay. It's better for writing to make sense than to have cameos.) ART: Wow. Just the right amount of additional detail for the comic format. I love the clarity of these panels and the camera shots chosen for them. How each character feels shows in their face and body. How a fight scene unfolds can be seen--you can actually tell what the characters do when they fight. It's wonderful. (I'm a bit of a fight scene enthusiast.) Also, the spirit world was whimsical and gorgeous to behold. Nice variety of lush color palettes for each scene. The new characters have distinctive faces, and the new villain has very cool-looking weapons.

It's been three years.
Format: Paperback
This was a great read! It felt like I was actually watching an episode of Korra while flipping through this. Michael DiMartino did a good job at making the dialougue sound like it could've been part of a Korra script. Of course the plot isn't going to be too dramatic since poor Korra already dealt with most of the worst situations ever in the show. The tone is much calmer, with much of the comic's focus being on Korra and Asami's budding relationship and a realistic conflict involving a greedy businessman wanting to turn the spirit portal into a tourist attraction. This comic is very much a suitable continuation of the show. Irene Koh's art is so beautiful!! I love how it's not the typical children's comic cartoony style. I've heard that people have actually been complaining about how it's so different from the show's original style, but I personally think it's fitting and very charming. It gives it a more mature feel. My main complaint is that it's too short. It took nearly three years after the finale for this comic to be released and it's only 80 pages! And the next part isn't going to be released until January! I guess me and other Korra fans are just going to have to stay patient for another 6 months or so.
