Motorcycle tire

A motorcycle tire comprising:

• a tread portion having a tread surface between a pair of tread edges,
• a toroidal carcass comprising at least one carcass ply of carcass cords,
• a tread reinforcing layer disposed radially outside the carcass in the tread portion,
• the tread reinforcing layer comprising a band and a belt,
• the band comprising a jointless band ply of one or more band cords wound spirally and circumferentially of the tire at an angle of not more than 5 degrees with respect to the tire circumferential direction, the jointless band ply being centered on the tire equator, and having a developed width of less than 65% of a developed width of the tread portion,
• the belt comprising one or more belt plies of parallel belt cords, the one or more belt plies being centered on the tire equator, and having a developed width of not less than 65% of the developed tread width,
• wherein
• at a first position axially inwardly spaced apart from each tread edge by a developed distance of 10% to 15% of the developed tread width,
• an intersecting angle between the belt cords and the carcass cords is in a range from 20 to 60 degrees, and
• in a meridional cross section of the tire, including the tire rotation axis, under its a normal state, a single-radius circular arc passing through a point on the tread surface at the tire equator and two points on the tread surface at the tread edges has a radius of not more than 0.7 times a section width of the tire.
