ROAD CLASSIC Tyre 90/90 - 18 51H by Michelin

The Michelin Road Classic is a front road tyre designed for Vintage and Classic motorcycles. Its design prioritises grip on wet surfaces, contact on dry roads, and stability for both urban and touring rides.

Design and Materials

• The 100% silica compound enhances grip on wet surfaces and contributes to the tyre's longevity.
• The diagonal structure with two carcass plies provides the necessary rigidity for stability while maintaining flexibility for comfort.
• The two apex plies limit centrifugal forces at high speeds to preserve the tyre's performance.

Usage and Performance

• The 26% tread depth, deep grooves, and multiple edges promote water evacuation to improve grip on wet surfaces.
• The slick zones in the centre and on the shoulder optimise contact with the road on dry surfaces.
• Stability is reported to be improved by 50% in corners and 40% in a straight line compared to the previous generation.
• The model's expected longevity is suitable for regular road use.

Installation and Mounting

• The 90/90 - 18 format with a load index of 51 is suitable for replacing a front tyre with the same specifications.
• The speed index H governs the tyre's usage according to the speed corresponding to this index.
• The tubeless mounting is done without an inner tube for installation on rims designed for this type of tyre.
• Tube-type mounting is also possible for installation with an inner tube.
