FRONT TIRES
In the course of 2015, Michelin will renew nearly all its track
tires to deliver new features developed in association with
the world’s fastest riders. Michelin is also preparing for its
2016 return to MotoGP racing. Motorsport has been part
of Michelin’s DNA ever since the company’s origins and
serves as a laboratory to put the technologies and
products of tomorrow through their paces in
extreme conditions today.
Grip on dry and wet roads
Thanks to MICHELIN 2CT at the front
and MICHELIN 2CT+ at the rear, this tire
delivers outstanding grip in dry and wet
conditions alike.

Higher grip and longer tire life
New compounds have enabled higher
grip and longer tire life over the
previous generation.
A, B and C: from softest to hardest
compounds.
Faster lap times*
Enhanced front tire agility for greater
confidence, plus a rear tire that
benefits from the same new MICHELIN
ACT construction developed for
MICHELIN® Power® Cup Evo and
MICHELIN® Power® Slick Evo tires.
Easier bike set-up
A more flexible carcass at the front and
MICHELIN ACT technology at the rear
for easy adjustments and handling of
the bike.
New compounds offer additional grip
and longevity, and the new 16-inch
front tire size provides enhanced agility
and precise feedback.

1: The pressure should be checked before starting the rolling phase or after a break of at least one hour.
2: A very specific procedure should be applied when taking operating temperatures: it should therefore be
done by a tire professional.
Use of MICHELIN® tires that is not in accordance with this product brochure may result in tire failure
and/or cause serious injury or death.
