The Michelin Sirac motorcycle tire is one of the few examples of marketers' claims matching reality. This model, in real-world use, demonstrates the very characteristics mentioned when it was introduced to the global press. This tire, designed for large touring enduro bikes, stands out favorably from numerous analogs with excellent traction properties on any type of surface, excellent reliability, and a long service life. This was achieved through the use of a number of technologies previously used in tires used on motorcycles participating in rally raids.
Aggressive V-shaped tread pattern
A significant part of the model's Michelin Sirac versatility is ensured by the design of the V-shaped tread pattern. It is the result of using modern computer modeling technologies, with which the optimal combination of shapes, sizes, and arrangement of tread blocks was selected. In the central part, they are characterized by massive sizes, which maximize the contact patch area and, accordingly, traction on hard surfaces. On soft soils, numerous blocks of the shoulder zones of the tread come into play, forming a multitude of traction edges due to their small size and polygonal shape.
Reinforced carcass
The carcass design was developed in accordance with operating conditions. Its basis is a sturdy steel cord, on top of which there are several additional layers made of modern synthetic materials. This multi-layered structure, on the one hand, has a relatively small weight, which reduces rolling resistance, and on the other hand, has increased carrying capacity, resistance to punctures and cuts, as well as softness on the go.
Main features of the Michelin Sirac motorcycle tire
- developed using the same technologies and materials as tires used on motorcycles participating in multi-day rally raids;
- excellent traction properties on any type of surface due to the universal tread pattern;
- a reinforced, multi-layered carcass structure, thanks to the steel cord, gives the tire exceptional reliability when operating off-road and excellent handling when moving on the highway.
