New sizes for ‘Big Trailies’

Author: Tyrepress Editors Comments: 0

Michelin’s sports-touring tyre, Pilot Road, has two new additions for fitment to big trail bikes.

110/80 R 19 59V front and 150/70 R 17 69V rear are designed for bikes including the Honda Varadero, Triumph Tiger, Suzuki V-Strom and BMW R1100, 1150GS and 1200GS models.

The tyres “give riders of this type of machine the option of replacing their trail tyres with something more suited to long distance touring and fast road use,” claims the manufacturer.

Differing from the standard Pilot Road, the new tyres’ casing is derived from the Michelin Anakee radial trail tyre. It features specific front and rear tread patterns, with variable depth grooves at the front and alternate open and closed grooves at the rear.

A combination of the new Michelin Pilot Road and the Michelin Anakee can be fitted on the front or rear.
