•casing & reinforcement

One of Michelin’s most famous inventions,

the MICHELIN Radial-X technology with 90°

plies on the crown of the tyre, provides grip,

stability and comfort.

Michelin has been a master of radial

technology for many years with the 90 plies

on the crown of the tyre providing grip,

even more f lexibility and greater comfort by

absorbing road deformations while its wide

footprint provides greater lean angles. The

sidewalls of the new generation of X-radial

tyres use a special ply fold that provides

enhanced cornering stability and feedback,

making it perfectly suited to powerful

vehicles. The handling and responsiveness of

the tyre are optimised to provide even more

riding pleasure without compromising on

safety.

The MICHELIN Radial 2AT Technology

provides the necessary strength & stability

for heavier bikes with luggage and a

pillion AND comfort for long journeys. 2AT

exceptionally combines elements of both

radial and bias construction, providing

the best compromise: Bias for its ability to

withstand extra weight and Radial for the

pleasure of riding.

A single ply with an angle close to 90° is

used in the carcass to reduce rigidity to the

minimum in the crown zone while ensuring

rigidity at lean thanks to the high reverse

angles of the casing plies which overlap

in the sidewalls and shoulder area An

absorbent crown gives greater stability

while rigid sidewalls and shoulder minimise

movement at lean
