GREENVILLE, S.C.—Michelin North America Inc. has introduced a pair of bicycle tires—the Michelin Power Protection TLR and Michelin City Street. Each is designed to take on any road condition and give both road cyclists and commuters the performance they need.
The Michelin Power Protection TLR tire features puncture protection and bead-to-bead technology for reinforcement, performance and durability in any season and for any road condition. The Power Protection TLR's fast-rolling tread pattern also is designed for improved stability and wet grip, thanks also in part to the Michelin Magi-X compound
Meanwhile, the traditional bike and e-bike ready Michelin Street Tire provides puncture protection by way of the reinforced casing of Michelin City Shield technology. When compared with the Michelin Protek Max, the Michelin City Street shows braking improvement of 10 percent and 22 percent improvement for cornering in damp conditions.
"Road cycling is at the heart of our humble beginnings as a company, and unveiling these new tires for avid road cyclists honors the rich Michelin heritage," said Andrew Besancon, director of marketing for recreational brands at Michelin North America Inc. "Our new tubeless-ready, all-season capable Michelin Power Protection TLR tire allows enthusiasts to experience our cutting-edge tire innovations during their cycling adventures, while a combination of City Shield and Magi-X Technology within the Michelin City Street tire help elevate commuter adventures."
