Motorcycle tire

A motorcycle tire comprising a toroidal carcass, and a tread reinforcing layer arranged outside the carcass in a tire radial direction and inside of a tread portion, wherein

• the tread reinforcing layer includes a ply reinforcing portion in which belt-shaped plies are wound,
• each of the belt-shaped plies is formed by at least one reinforcing cord covered with a topping rubber,
• the ply reinforcing portion includes a plurality of first inclined portions, in which the belt-shaped plies are inclined to one side with respect to a tire circumferential direction, and a plurality of second inclined portions, in which the belt-shaped plies are inclined to a side opposite to the plurality of the first inclined portions with respect to the tire circumferential direction,
• the plurality of the first inclined portions is arranged such that side edges thereof are not in contact with each other,
• the plurality of the second inclined portions is arranged such that side edges thereof are not in contact with each other,
• the ply reinforcing portion includes a lattice-shaped portion in which the plurality of the first inclined portions and the plurality of the second inclined portions intersect with each other so as to have space portions between them,
• in each of the first inclined portions and the second inclined portions, an angle thereof with respect to the tire circumferential direction continuously decreases from an inner side in a tire axial direction to an outer side in the tire axial direction,
• the tread width is a distance between tread edges in the tire axial direction and is a maximum width of the motorcycle tire,
• each of the angles between the tire circumferential direction and each of the first inclined portions and the second inclined portions at axially innermost points thereof is 10 degrees or more and 20 degrees or less,
• each of the first inclined portions and the second inclined portions crosses a tire equator,
• each of the first inclined portions and the second inclined portions is point symmetric on the tire equator,
• the first inclined portions are line-symmetric with the second inclined portions with respect to the tire equator when the first inclined portions are shifted in the tire circumferential direction, and
• intersection portions are not provided on the tire equator.
