Stops faster
Thanks to new XST+, new MICHELIN Pilot
Road 4 tyres stop faster in the wet than any
other tyres in the category. But don’t just
take our word for it. Independent tests
prove it. The new MICHELIN Pilot Road 4
tyre stops 17% faster than its closest
competitor on wet pavement, and 24%
faster on a wet slippery surface. All of which
means, riding in the rain should feel safer and
more secure, and a lot less stressful Grips the road in all conditions
All-new silica-charged rubber compounds
were developed for the new MICHELIN
Pilot Road 4 tyres. These compounds are
specially formulated to provide excellent grip
from -5ºC on dry roads to 45ºC (23ºF to
113ºF) on a wide range of road surfaces,
including painted lines and crosswalks,
making it easier than ever for you to ride
with condence in virtually all conditions.
Lasts longer
Thanks to 2CT technology, new MICHELIN
Pilot Road 4 tyres last up 20% longer than
the MICHELIN Pilot Road 3 tyres. Over the
long run, that adds up to fewer tyre changes
and a lower total cost of ownership. 2AT provides extra stability for heavier
loads
Whether you are riding your GT-class bike
solo, 2-up or with luggage, you’ll appreciate
the added stability provided by Michelin’s
new 2AT technology. With 2AT technology,
your heavy touring bike will feel stable and
secure in both straight line and cornering
situations.
2CT compounds
The new MICHELIN Pilot Road 4 tyres feature 2CT, dual
compound technology with 100% silica compounds for the
optimum balance between wet grip and longevity. The harder
centre compounds are designed to help promote a long tyre
life while the softer shoulder compounds provide extra grip
when cornering. STANDARD AND GT VERSIONS

New 2AT, Dual Angle Technology for GT-class
touring bikes
Michelin’s patented new 2AT Dual Angle Technology
is a revolutionary design architecture for motorcycle
tyres that delivers the stiffness you need for heavier
touring bikes, and the comfort you desire for the
long ride. 2AT uniquely combines elements of both
bias and radial tyre designs during the manufacturing
process in order to deliver the best of both worlds:
the extra load carrying capacity of bias and the
riding pleasure of a radial.

CHAMFERS
Cross sipes on the front tyre cut through the water’s fi lm
for outstanding wet weather braking
Longitudinal sipe and solid strip around the middle of the rear
tyre enhance traction to help you quickly get up to speed
Next generation XST+ and tread designs
The patented sipes and integrated reservoirs of
Michelin’s XST X-Sipe technology deliver
exceptional grip on wet roads. For the MICHELIN
Pilot Road 4 front tyre, Michelin developed XST+
that includes cross sipes to help improve wet
weather braking, and adds chamfers to the sipes to
help prevent abnormal wear under extreme
conditions. New tread patterns were also
developed for both front and rear to optimize wet
and dry grip at all lean angles, and to promote
uniform wear.
