Features

RUBBERS

All of MICHELIN’s experience has gone into defining these latest mixes, allowing mountain bikers to obtain the optimal performance compromise between grip, efficiency and wear. Compound are produced in varying levels of shore hardness the lower the index value, the greater the gum softness; conversely, as the index value rises, the gum becomes harder.

BI-COMPOUND: Series of rubbers specically designed for Enduro use, which offer outstanding grip.

BI-COMPOUND: Magi-X: Developed and used in the Enduro World Series competition, these especially high-performance compounds offer exceptional grip when cornering and braking in the most demanding conditions.

CASING-REINFORCEMENTS

A tyre’s casing is made up of threads, the thickness of which varies according to the tyre range, makes it robust, flexible, efficient and lightweight. The more threads there are, the finer they are, making the tyre lighter. On the contrary, the less threads there are, the bigger they are, making the tyre stronger. TPI (Threads Per Inch) refers to the density of threads per inch.

Thanks to its additional protective ply running from one bead to the other, Michelin SHIELD CASING improves resistance to external attack on the sidewalls and reduces punctures due to impact or pinching.

3x33 TPI or 3x60 TPI casing specifically designed for Enduro.



Tubeless Ready tyres can be fitted without an inner tube provided that a tubeless wheel is used, the maximum pressure is not exceeded, sealant is added and the tyre pressure is checked before each ride.


Tyres with the E-Bike Ready label can be fitted on electric bikes (maximum 25km/h).
