New Motorcycle Tyre From Michelin

Michelin has launched the new Pilot Sport HPX (Horse Power Xtreme) motorcycle tyre to cope with the demands of today’s more powerful bikes. The tread pattern is the same as the Pilot Sport, but the casing has been redesigned to cope with the higher speeds and weights of machines such as the Suzuki GSX-R 1300 Hayabusa and the Kawasaki ZX12-R. The new tyre which was presented for the first time during the Intermot Munich at the end of last year is available in the following sizes: 120/70 ZR 17, 190/50 ZR 17 and 200/50 ZR 17.
