TUBULAR, TUBELESS READY & TUBETYPE TIRES

  • TUBULAR TIRES

    Michelin tubulars must be glued to a rim without metal or carbon hooks using glue or special double-sided tape for simplicity.

  • TUBELESS READY TIRES

    Michelin TUBELESS READY tires can be fitted with or without without an inner tube if a Tubeless UST or Tubeless Ready compatible wheel is used. The maximum recommended pressure must not be exceed. Sealant must be added. Tire pressure must be checked before every ride. Michelin advises to check with the wheel manufacturer to ensure tubeless ready compatibility.

  • TUBETYPE TIRES

    Michelin tires (Tubetype or Tubeless Ready) fit onto hooked metal or carbon rims with an inner tube.

RUBBER COMPOUND

Rubber characteristics produce different tire performances. Rubber technology can improve tire grip, efficiency and longevity.

Michelin Gum-X technology delivers strong rolling efficiency while delivering a good level of grip. For each product, a different Michelin Gum-X version delivers the tire performance required.

  • On the Michelin Power Time Trial, Michelin Gum-X technology provides the highest level of rolling efficiency.

  • On the Michelin Power Cup, Michelin Gum-X technology gives the best balance between rolling efficiency and wet grip.

  • On the Michelin Power All Season, Michelin Gum-X technology is designed for a max of traction for wet and cold conditions.

REINFORCEMENTS

  • Aramid Shield

    Very high density aramid reinforcement in the casing to provide strength at the summit of the tire and significantly reduce the number of punctures.

  • Tubeless Shield

    Provides the Tubeless Ready performance of the tire. Combined with sealant, it helps to maintain optimal pressure for road rides.
  • Hi-Density Shield

    Hi-Density Shield technology, a cross-laid reinforcement on the crown covering the tread.

TREAD PATTERNS

  • Grip Design

    Tread pattern designed to provide grip, even in corners, for fast road use. (Range: Michelin Power Cup Tubular).
  • Hi-Grip Design

    Tread pattern designed to provide grip even in corners for road use, in all weather conditions. (Range: Michelin Power All season).

OTHER TECHNOLOGIES

Michelin Disc Brake Ready technology allows the tire to withstand the extra braking from bicycles with disc brakes thanks to a specially adapted rubber.
