GET STIFF WITH REDUCED-FLEX RUBBER
The Michelin Power 5 tubeless tyres are aimed
at top-end street riding. They use a singleply
carcass at an angle close to 90° to increase
grip and pliability at the crown of the tyre, yet
folds that single ply over itself on each sidewall
to stiffen it – for less flex and better tracking
through corners.
Its rubber compounds balance longevity with
dry and wet performance, while the front profile
is designed for quick turn-in and accurate
feedback, and the rear for reduced flex at lean
and better corner exit stability.
