After four years and more than 1.5 million units sold, at the start of next year a successor to the Pilot Road 4 – the tyre Michelin calls the “European sport touring tyre market’s undisputed benchmark” – will arrive. And despite having such big shoes to fill, with the new Road 5 Michelin says it has “taken the performance of its sport radial tyre range to an even higher level.”
Those attending the MCN Motorcycle Show in London back in February were amongst the first to see Michelin’s latest-generation sport touring tyre up close. Since that time, the Pilot Road 4 has been officially launched, and its manufacturer says the range’s introduction confirms Michelin’s number one status in the European and North America sport touring radial markets. Michelin also says the new line-up sees the brand “continue to push out the envelope” in terms of overall performance. Amongst the improvements Michelin promises riders are better wet braking and greater longevity.
