MICHELIN 2wheeL - 19
tread patterns
The tread pattern is designed specifically for the terrain. The quantity, shape, depth and distribution of grooves, blocks and sipes are carefully engineered to suit the terrain on which the tyre is ridden, providing traction and lean angle predictability.
Creates a velvet effect and a deep black contrast on the outside sidewall of the tyre to emphasize the aesthetic design.
The MICHELIN Water Sipe Technology delivers enhanced grip on wet roads thanks to the patented sipes that increase the tyre s water clearance capacity. A gradual increase in the number of full depth sipes allows the tyre to break through the surface film of water.
Patented sipes allow MICHELIN Water Brake Technology to deliver exceptional grip on wet road. MICHELIN Water Brake Technology includes transverse sipes to improve wet braking and chamfers added to the sipe edges to help prevent abnormal wear in extreme conditions. The transverse sipes allow the tyre to break the surface film of water and ensure excellent braking performance on wet roads.
MICHELIN Water Sipe Technology and MICHELIN Water Brake Technology allow better water evacuation for added safety on wet roads, but water storage capacity naturally decreases as the tyre wears down. The MICHELIN Water Evergrip technology is even more efficient, the sipes evolve over time and miles to give ever wider grooves, increasing the groove ratio to preserve the capacity of the tyre to store and evacuate water.
