Michelin Tyres
Moto GP riders have used multi-compound tires for years. Now the
Michelin® Power Race® family of
supersport sportbike race tires puts two-compound technology within
anyone's reach!
A soft rubber mix on the tread shoulders helps deliver extraordinary
cornering grip, while a harder compound down the middle helps withstand
the forces of hard acceleration and braking. Increditble track
day tires! (Note: Not all sizes / compounds are dual compound design)
A new semi-slick tread pattern gives the Power Race exceptional
grip, particularly at full lean, while the tread grooves are oriented
to evacuate water from the contact patch in damp track conditions. New
front and rear profiles actually help shift the bikes weight bias
toward the front, for better feedback under braking.
Unlike some ultra high-performance tires, which are down-rated to V
or W speed indices, all Power Race tires carry the (W) index for speeds
in excess of 168mph. This not only simplifies tire selection, but also
confirms that the Power Race meets the highest certification standards.
