Michelin Pilot Power Pure Motorcycle Tire Hp/Track Rear 180/55-17 73W,.

Product Description
Power Pure - The lightest dual-compound tires ever.

Features

• Light Tire Technology (LTT): MICHELIN Power Pure(TM) tires are some two pounds lighter per pair* than other comparable sportbike tires, without compromising durability or performance. LTT reduces unsprung weight and rotating mass, benefiting acceleration, braking and grip.
• Two Compound Technology (2CT): The center compound withstands aggressive acceleration and braking, while the softer shoulder compound helps ensure outstanding grip on road or track. Wider 2CT shoulders compared to other MICHELIN tires mean that most or all of the contact patch is made up of softer, grippier rubber when the bike is leaned into corners.
• Semi-slick tread design: Grooves cover only 12% of the tread surface, helping to maximize the contact patch. The resulting grip helps facilitate extreme lean angles. MICHELIN Power Pure(TM) tread patterns were inspired by those of MICHELIN racing rain tires.
• New racing-derived tread compounds: Michelin enlisted the experience of its competition chemists and materials experts to develop three all-new tread compounds for Power Pure.
