Michelin has expanded its mountain bike tire product portfolio with two tire ranges for enduro enthusiasts. The Michelin Wild Enduro and E-Wild performance line tires are available in the US and Canada.
“Michelin’s history with cycling for more than 130 years is defined by innovations that continuously shape the future of the sport,” said Brandon Chapel, bicycle brand manager at Michelin North America. “The new performance line tires apply Michelin’s expertise from our global racing DNA and relationships with professional teams to create well-balanced tires that meet the demands of everyday riding.”
Michelin Wild Enduro performance line
The Wild Enduro tires are designed to balance performance, comfort and durability. Their double-ply 33 TPI casing provides controlled rebound, contributing to a more stable and composed ride.
A bead-to-bead shield is designed to protect the sidewalls and provides a high level of overall durability. Pinch Protection technology is designed to limit pinch flats and sidewall tears for added reliability over a variety of terrains.
Magi-X and Gum-X compounds work together to optimize rolling efficiency while maximizing cornering grip when descending. This bi-compound technology offers a balance between rolling efficiency, durability and grip, enabling riders to push the limits of themselves and their equipment.
The tires are available in a range of sizes with options for mixed-soft (MS), mixed-hard (MH) and rear applications.
Michelin E-Wild performance line
The E-Wild tires are designed to meet the specific demands of e-mountain bikes, with a focus on everyday riding. Drawing on Michelin’s E-Wild racing line experience, the performance line offers a balanced combination of durability, efficiency and grip.
The bi-compound tread balances grip, rolling efficiency and durability using Michelin Gum-X and Magi-X compounds. Anti-pinch and anti-puncture protection enhance overall tire durability, while low-pressure reinforcements allow riders to run optimized pressures for improved grip.
