ROAD CLASSIC Tyre 100/80 - 17 52H by Michelin

The Michelin Road Classic front tyre is designed for classic motorcycles used in urban traffic and on the road. Its design combines grip on wet surfaces, stability, and longevity to support daily commutes as well as road outings.

Usage and Performance

• The deep tread profile with multiple edges enhances grip and handling on wet surfaces by facilitating water evacuation.
• The slick zones in the centre and on the shoulders optimise contact with the road on dry surfaces.
• The claimed grip improvement reaches 50% on wet surfaces compared to the previous generation, boosting confidence on damp roads.
• Improved stability of 50% in corners and 40% in straight lines compared to the previous generation promotes a more stable ride.
• The Road Classic design aims for excellent longevity to extend replacement intervals.

Design and Materials

• The 100% silica compound enhances grip on wet surfaces while promoting tyre longevity.
• The two carcass plies provide the necessary rigidity for stability while maintaining flexibility for comfort.
• The two tread plies limit centrifugal forces at high speeds to maintain tyre behaviour.

Installation and Mounting

• This front tyre adopts a diagonal structure suitable for replacing a classic motorcycle tyre.
• The size 100/80 - 17 corresponds to a 17-inch rim with a load index of 52 and a speed index of H.
• The tubeless mounting is done without an inner tube for compliance with this configuration.
• Tube-type mounting is also possible for use with an inner tube.
