MICHELIN POWER PURE
 |
Thanks to MICHELIN's Light Tyre Technology (LTT), the MICHELIN Power Pure tips the scales at 1kg less than rival tyres*! The result is nimbler handling and a more enjoyable ride. A pointer to its potential: it has been chosen by Yamaha for the brand new R1 2010.

- LTT(Michelin Light Tyre Technology) marks a fresh approach to save weight while keeping the thickness of the tread unchanged.
- A weight saving of 2lbs over rival tyres* enables 10% less inertia compared with rival tyres**, leading to nimbler handling and greater fun to ride.
- Saving of a part of the bike that is not covered by the suspension, so-called unsprung weight, makes it easier to switch from leaning into a right-hand turn to leaning into a lefthander. And vice-versa.
- Gyroscopic forces mean that running a 2lbs lighter tyre is equivalent to saving 6lbs on rims or 8lbs on brake discs.
- Softer compound kicks in sooner when cornering than the case of Pilot Power 2CT. Take front tyre for example, at an angle of 36°, 27% of the MICHELIN Power Pure’s contact patch is made up of soft compound, whereas the soft compound has yet to come into contact with the road in the case of the MICHELIN Pilot Power.
