DYNATREAD is the new patented technology which translates into an adaptive tread design capable of varying the behaviour of the tyre to adapt it to different riding styles and conditions. In other words, in a single tyre you have the possibility of combining different riding styles, from Sport-Touring to Supersport, and ROADTEC 02 is absolutely the first tyre to exploit this innovative technology.When the motorcyclist has a touring riding style, or in wet conditions, the long grooves of the tread pattern favour the evacuation of water and the correct mobility of the tread compound, helping to offer quick warm-up, comfort and grip expressing the qualities and behaviour typical of a Sport-Touring tyre.However, when a sportier riding style is utilised, typically in dry conditions, greater load transfers and lateral thrusts created by higher lean angles generate considerable pressure on the tyres causing part of the grooves to close, thus increasing the compactness and stability of the tread band. This results in greater support and more direct feedback for the rider to make the most of the grip qualities of the compound, improving riding precision and modifying its behaviour, to become close to that of a supersport tyre.
Bugatti developed a new vehicle design with optimized aerodynamics for the Chiron Super Sport’s streamlined bodywork. The new Chiron Super Sport is an uncompromising reincarnation of the Bugatti design mantra, ‘form follows performance’. From the front splitter to the rear diffuser, every centimeter of its skin is designed for top speed.At speeds over 420 km/h, a vehicle must offer sufficient downforce alongside minimal drag. “Our aim was to give the vehicle a neutral setup at its top speed while also giving it as streamlined a shape as possible.” explains Frank Heyl, Deputy Design Director at Bugatti. The uplift forces exerted on the bodywork at 440 km/h are immense. The body of the Chiron Super Sport generates massive downforce to counter this uplift and perfectly balance the forces. “The design process was therefore in particular about achieving aerodynamic efficiency,” Heyl continues. The Chiron Super Sport’s extended rear, which is known as a long tail, gives it new proportions and very distinctive aesthetics. An optional, new, horizontal color split visually extends the proportions of the Chiron Super Sport even further, making the hyper sports car appear even lower.
Fans rally to celebrate the Kansas City Chiefs' win over San Francisco in the Super Bowl. The victory makes Kansas City the first team to win back-to-back Lombardi Trophies since the New England Patriots in 2003–2004, cementing the franchise's right to be regarded as the NFL's newest dynasty.

A fighter jet-inspired Head-Up Display. An available Pro Trailer Hitch Assist system that uses machine learning. These are just two of the new tech tools builders keeping this country moving have at their disposal with the arrival of the all-new 2023 Ford F-Series Super Duty lineup of pickup trucks and chassis cabs.Loaded with bumper-to-bumper tech innovations, the all-new Super Duty was designed to make life on or away from the jobsite more convenient and time-efficient than ever – easier to monitor gauges while driving, hitch a trailer, back up to a loading dock, make tight turns on off-road trails or install and operate upfit equipment.
Buick revealed the 2024 Envista, a new nameplate designed to rethink what a premium vehicle can be in a white space of the small SUV segment. The Envista offers the cargo space and utility of an SUV, packaged inside sporty and sleek proportions typically found in a sedan.The Envista will be one of the most affordable SUVs in the segment, yet it will still come standard with high-quality materials, design and technologies. Starting at $23,495, it is a premium crossover designed to attract migrating sedan owners, young professionals and small families to the Buick portfolio.The Envista will come in three distinct trims, each with their own unique personality: Preferred, Sport Touring (ST) and Avenir. This offering expands the popular, luxurious Avenir sub-brand across Buick’s entire portfolio.The Envista will be the first vehicle to fully incorporate Buick’s new, modern design language, which was first shown to the world on the Wildcat EV concept last year. This includes the new face of Buick, featuring a low-profile silhouette and forward leaning nose. The new Buick emblem is now proudly mounted on the body, directly above a sleek, intricate grille design. This design cue is taken from heritage vehicles of Buick’s past.The body side of the vehicle encompasses sculptural beauty with powerful fender forms and a sculpted waistline that create the perception of fluid motion. Bright trim precisely incorporated around the glass adds to the vehicle’s expressiveness by catching and reflecting light at different angles.
