Re: Tyres
Michelin, launched two new motorcycle tyres in India, the Michelin Pilot Road 2 and Michelin Pilot Road Street Radial.
The Michelin Pilot Road 2 is for 500+cc bikes, while the Pilot Street Radial is for motorcycles between 250-500cc. All tyres will be sold with the ISI mark. The Pilot Road 2 is race derived with its dual compound tyre, the shoulders use a softer compound for more grip, while the centre uses a harder compound for increased mileage. The Pilot Road 2 is available in sizes of 120/70 ZR 17 (58W), 180/55 ZR 17 (73W) and 190/55 ZR 17 (73W) and price ranging from Rs 8772 to Rs 12808. This tyre can be used for your Ducati Monster, Honda CBR 1000R, Suzuki Bandit, Kawasaki ZZR, Yamaha FZS, Yamaha MT-01, Triumph Speed Triple and BMW R1200 ST.
The Michelin Pilot Street Radial has been designed with two HMLS (High Modulus Low Shrinkage) Polyster Carcass plies, it is supported by a 0o circumferential belt made of aramid material for an optimized contact patch. The Pilot Street Radial is available in sizes of 110/70 R17, 130/70 R17 and 140/70 R17 and price ranging from Rs 4502 to Rs 5927. The bikes on which these tyres can be used are Kawasaki Ninja 250, Ninja 300, Honda CBR 250.
Pradeep Thampy, Commercial Director - Motorcycle & Scooter tyres, Michelin India -
"Biking is rapidly becoming an extension of the personality for the young at heart, which is fuelling the growth of the Indian premium bike segment. There is a gradual but sure shift from usage of bikes from utilitarian to leisure and recreation. This segment is only going to increase, with industry analysts pegging the annual growth at 25%. Michelin Pilot Road 2 and Michelin Pilot Street Radial will cater to the needs of this growing market and will provide the consumer with a fitting product."
"With the introduction of these tyres in the market Michelin demonstrates its worldwide commitment to riders to provide new tyres, each of which delivers more performance - taking India to a higher plane of mobility. Over the years, Michelin has constantly demonstrated its commitment to make motorbike riding enjoyable in all situations and to develop tyre ranges that deliver the best performance across the board, in terms of dry or wet grip, feel and steering accuracy, and total mileage. Combining these qualities is the promise that underlies Michelin Total Performance. Michelin tyres deliver safety, riding enjoyment and total mileage."
