Michelin Wild XC2 Racing Tyre

Michelin Wild XC2 Racing Tyre

Featuring a high-quality Gum-X compound, this cross country (XC) tyre delivers fantastic grip when the going gets tough. Thanks to its versatile compound, this model uses a series of rubbers that combine different performance characteristics such as grip, performance and durability. As a result, you’ll benefit from its exceptional grip, speed and reliability as you dominate your way around the course. The Michelin Gum-X compound optimises the balance between rolling efficiency and traction. Michelin has also ensured that this racing tyre is electric bike (E-bike) ready, making it approved and suitable for use on electric bikes with a top speed of up to 25km/h.

Cross Shield2 Casing

Inspired by the Michelin Wild Enduro range, this dynamic tyre provides maximum braking as well as responsive cornering for XC racing. Coming kitted out with Cross Shield2 casing, it provides extra pinch protection that’s designed to prevent tread and sidewall damage. Thanks to its 2×150 TPI high-density fibre top casing that’s combined with 4x150TPI lower bead section casing, this is an exceptionally durable tyre that’s well equipped for the rigours of cross country.

Tubeless Ready XC Racing Tyre

All set for modern XC racing, this model benefits from tubeless ready technology, so you can use it with or without an inner tube provided that a tubeless wheel is used, the maximum pressure is not exceeded, sealant is added and the tyre pressure is checked before each ride. By running it tubeless, you’ll enjoy performance advantages such as the ability to run lower pressures for increased stability on mixed terrains, lower rolling resistance and fewer chances of flats or punctures.
