Description Michelin Booper
The Michelin Booper summer motorcycle tire, despite being designed for scooter equipment, contains the same technical and technological solutions as models designed for more powerful sportbikes. Additionally, it's impossible not to mention the extremely wide range of sizes of this tire, which makes it suitable for almost any modern scooter.
Maximum Traction
This model is distinguished by excellent traction, which was achieved through the application of a number of technical solutions. First and foremost, this is a multi-layered carcass construction with a steel cord base wound using a seamless technology. This made it possible to significantly reduce the weight of the Michelin Booper tire while providing it with excellent strength and elasticity. In addition, additional layers were added to the breaker, which made it possible to significantly increase the tire's resistance to dynamic deformation, which had a very beneficial effect on handling.
Sporty Handling
Thanks to a very rigid base, the French tire makers were able to give the handling a sporty character. With roughly the same goals, they equipped this model with a symmetrical directional tread pattern with a very aggressive V-shaped design. It consists of many very massive blocks of a arrow-shaped form. In combination with a rigid breaker layer, such a layout provides fast and very accurate reactions, due to which the handling has become sporty refined.
Excellent Traction on Wet Roads
Also, it's impossible not to mention the excellent traction properties demonstrated by this tire on wet roads. This is mainly due to the rubber compound of the tread, which includes silicone-containing components and polymer compounds of a new generation. Thanks to them, it was possible to ensure optimal elasticity in a very wide temperature range, while increasing the resistance of the tread to abrasive wear.
In addition, the tread pattern has a very efficient drainage system. It consists of many transverse channels. They are arranged in such a way as to maximize the speed of water removal from the contact patch.
