Trial

In trial events, riders have to clear natural or artificial obstacles without putting their feet on the ground. Competitions can be held outdoors on natural terrain or on specially prepared artificial indoor courses. Each rider is set a time in which they have to complete the course.

An outdoor trial competition is held on a circuit with marked sections – known as zones – where competitors tackle the obstacles in turn.

Trial tires need to provide maximum grip in conditions that can vary significantly from one zone to the next – mud, rocks, river beds – so Michelin has developed a range of products to meet the demands of the different kinds of terrain pro trial riders have to cope with. Tires have to be able to respond reliably to the rider’s every instruction and also deliver outstanding grip at critical moments to overcome the most challenging obstacles.

Michelin has won the Outdoor Trial World Championship no fewer than 31 times since 1981, and an unbeaten run of 11 straight Indoor world titles beginning in 2002.
