The Power GP2 summer motorbike tyre is a proposition from premium manufacturer Michelin of France, which has created a grip model in both dry and wet conditions. The company from the Seine indicates that the tyres are just as suitable for road riding as for racing. This sets the product in question apart from other motorbike tyres from the brand.
As for the sporting use of the model, it is worth noting that it was inspired by the MotoGP motorbike world championship. Analysis of the royal class has translated into a number of facilities that allow the user to push hard and not lose too much speed on the more difficult sections of the course.
Thanks to the grip, also guaranteed when taking fast corners, you will feel stable, even when tilting the unicycle to the side. This is due to the long grooves that counteract slippage. At the extremes of the tilt, you will get additional support thanks to the short grooves located on the sides. However, the tyre surface is largely smooth, which is the key to low rolling resistance.
Main advantages of the Power GP2 model:
- It is a versatile motorbike tyre suitable for both on-road riding and navigating the race or training circuit (inspired by MotoGP competition).
- It will work well in all conditions, but will be best on dry trails.
- Excellent grip when taking sharp turns, with the motorbike leaning significantly.
- Extremely low rolling resistance on asphalt.
The French brand - known the world over not only for its tyres, but also for Bibendum, the Michelin man - is the largest tyre manufacturer on the Old Continent. Headquartered in Auvergne, the company supplies products for various vehicle segments, such as motorbikes, cars and even the space shuttle. As many as three technology centres allow the creation of premium tyres that feature a range of enhancements to improve the traction, resistance or behaviour of the models in difficult conditions.
