Motorcycle tire

A motorcycle tire comprising:

• a tread portion;
• a pair of sidewall portions;
• a pair of bead portions;
• and
• a carcass extending on and between the pair of bead portions, wherein
• the tread portion includes a tread reinforcing layer placed outward of the carcass in a tire radial direction, and a tread rubber placed outward of the tread reinforcing layer in the tire radial direction,
• the tread reinforcing layer includes a belt layer including a plurality of belt cords inclined with respect to a tire circumferential direction, and a band layer placed outward of the belt layer in the tire radial direction and including at least one band cord helically wound in the tire circumferential direction,
• a development width of the band layer is smaller than a development width of the belt layer,
• the tread rubber includes a crown rubber placed in a region including a tire equator, and shoulder rubbers each placed outward of the crown rubber in a tire axial direction in a region including a tread edge,
• a hardness at 100° C. of each shoulder rubber is higher than a hardness at 100° C. of the crown rubber,
• a complex elastic modulus at 100° C. of each shoulder rubber is higher than a complex elastic modulus at 100° C. of the crown rubber,
• a 300% modulus at 100° C. of each shoulder rubber is higher than a 300% modulus at 100° C. of the crown rubber, and
• the development width the band layer is 20% to 60% of the development width of the belt layer.

• the second ply includes a second plurality of belt cords inclined in a second direction opposite to the first direction with respect to the tire circumferential direction.
