Motorcycle tire

A motorcycle tire comprising:

• a tread portion comprising a pair of tread edges, wherein the tread portion has a radially outer surface that is curved in an arc shape manner protruding outwardly in a tire radial direction and a tread width between the pair of tread edges that extends the tire's maximum axial width;
• a pair of sidewall portions;
• a pair of bead portions;
• a toroidal carcass extending between the pair of bead portions;
• and
• a belt layer and a band layer disposed outwardly in the tire radial direction of the carcass in the tread portion;
• wherein
• the carcass comprises a plurality of carcass cords that has an angle with respect to the tire circumferential direction increasing from a tire equator toward both tread edges,
• the band layer comprises a jointless band ply having a band cord wound spirally at an angle equal to or less than 5 degrees with respect to a tire circumferential direction,
• the belt layer comprises a plurality of belt cords arranged in a direction intersecting with the carcass cords,
• the belt cords intersect with the carcass cords at an intersection angle θc in a tread crown region, and intersect with the carcass cords at an intersection angle θs in a pair of tread shoulder regions,
• an angle of the belt cords with respect to the tire circumferential direction is in a range of 85 to 90 degrees,
• the intersection angles θc and θs are in a range of 20 to 65 degrees, and
• the intersection angle θc is greater than the intersection angle θs.
