Michelin Pilot Power 2CT

The best of both worlds. That's the feeling many manufacturers of modern-day sportbike tires want you to have when you buy their product(s). They want you to buy their tire with the knowledge that it will perform admirably on the track,

So long as you're not in full-race mode (in most cases), and serve you even better on the street. All in the same day if you like. As the performance level of the current crop of high-performance streetbikes and all-out sportbikes increases (seemingly exponentially), it follows then that tires must keep up with the escalating rise in horsepower. The battle for your attention and dollars in the tire arena has become just as competitive as the battle between bike makers.

Renowned tire maker, Michelin (authentically pronounced, mitch-a-lin) heeded the call of battle, and in July 2004 introduced the Pilot Power to the world. The Pilot Power utilizes many of the same, synthetic components that Michelin originally formulated for their MotoGP race tires. It was well received by the motorcycle press and buying public primarily for its great grip and quick warm-up time. Those two traits being a direct result of the tech borrowed from GP tires.
