GRIP REVOLUTION
The Michelin Road 5 is the newest motorcycle tyre designed
specifically for sport touring motorcycles. It uses patented
technologies to provide enhanced grip, comfort, and stability,
particularly in wet conditions.
According to Michelin this tyre will stop in as short a
distance as a new Michelin Pilot Road 4 tyre when braking
in wet conditions – even after 5000km. Which seem pretty
impressive.
Obviously it’s also designed for outstanding grip on dry roads
and superior stability, thanks to a combination of all new tread
compounds and revolutionary adaptive casing technology.

BOOT IT ON TRACK
TCX says its Italian RT Race Boots are its most streamlined
track boot to date. Strong and lightweight microfibre
construction comes with a polyurethane toe slider, shift pad
and closure strap plus a magnesium heel slider and iron mesh
intake vents.
The FFC (Fasten Fit Control) with internal laces joined to the
boot lining delivers a precise, secure fit while the ankle’s DFC
(Double Flex Control System) allows lateral and longitudinal
movements only within physiological limitations, to prevent
excess torsion and minimise injury risk.
