The Michelin City Grip summer motorcycle tire is designed for a wide range of scooter equipment, which is mainly operated in urban areas. One of the key features of this model is its wide size range, which provides excellent applicability, as well as superior traction properties on wet roads.
"Rain" tire for scooters
Most of the attention of the developers of this model was focused on ensuring maximum traction on wet roads. To do this, they not only changed the composition of the rubber compound accordingly, but also applied the "progressive lamella" technology (Progressive Sipe Technology).
It involves equipping the tread pattern with a multitude of lamellas that start in the central part and end at the border of the shoulder zones and sidewalls. During movement, these specialized elements form a huge number of sharp edges that easily penetrate the water film, clinging even to small irregularities on the surface of the road. At the same time, they are located in different directions, which makes the traction with the wet road even more reliable.
Another advantage of this technology is that these tread elements are also drainage channels. Since there are enough of them, the contact patch can quickly get rid of even a large amount of water, which is quickly removed to the outside.
Stable handling
This model also uses other proprietary Michelin developments. First of all, it is the tread profile, which has a radius at which the contact patch remains unchanged even at significant scooter tilt angles. This design feature makes handling very reliable and stable, which greatly simplifies the management process.
Main features of the Michelin City Grip tire
