Bicycle Tire

A bicycle tire comprising:

• two sidewalls connecting a tread to two beads;
• a continuous toothset, of generatrix (G) substantially radial with respect to the axis of rotation of the tire of axial direction (YY′), positioned circumferentially on an axially exterior face of at least one sidewall, and intended to collaborate with a complementary toothset;
• the toothset being made up of teeth that are equidistant by a pitch p;
• each tooth having a length l, in the direction of the generatrix (G), and a substantially triangular section (IJK) in a plane (UV) perpendicular to the generatrix (G),
• the substantially triangular section (IJK) comprising a first and a second side (IK, IJ) emanating from a first vertex (I), referred to as the crest of the tooth, and a third side (JK) opposite the first vertex (I) and positioned on the axially exterior face of the sidewall;
• the first and second sides (IJ, IK) respectively forming, with the direction (VV′) perpendicular to the third side (JK), a first and a second angle (A1, A2),
• the distance between the crest (I) of the tooth and its orthogonal projection (H) onto the third side (JK) defining the height h of the tooth;
• each said tooth comprising an elastomeric material having an elastic shear modulus G*,
• wherein the elastic shear modulus G* of the elastomeric material of the teeth is at least equal to a threshold elastic shear modulus G*s, the threshold elastic shear modulus G*s being such that the displacement d of the crest (I) of each said tooth is equal to 0.2 times the height h of the tooth under the action of a uniform pressure P applied by the complementary toothset to the side (IK, IJ) that forms the smallest angle (A1, A2), equal to 650/(l×h×(2.67−0.33×p)).
