Michelin introduces Power RS – sport road tyre

MICHELIN’s new Power RS sport road tyre delivers exceptional performance and will go on sale from 01 January 2017.

When it comes to dry-weather grip, agility, stability and peerless handling performance, the MICHELIN Power RS stands out as the sport motorcycle road tyre market’s new benchmark* and accordingly targets the most discerning riders.

For a single tyre to boast such a high level of performance in all these areas is the fruit of Michelin’s longstanding expertise, combined with its experience in topflight racing and the diversification of its innovations.

The combination of new rubber compounds – some of which are derived from racing – and a new carcass, has resulted in unparalleled grip on dry roads and a unique rider experience.

The innovative rear tyre features a patented construction which benefits from MICHELIN ACT+ technology for impeccable straight-line and cornering stability.

Meanwhile, thanks to a choice of 13 Power RS sizes (four for the front tyre, plus nine for the rear tyre), Michelin covers a broad spectrum of motorcycles, from 300cc bikes to Supersport machines, as well as medium power Roadsters.
