Michelin Power Cup road bike tyre, loose

The Michelin Power Cup range is the one used by the Cofidis team riders, and this is no coincidence. Part of Michelin’s Competition Line, this tube-type tyre is versatile, in that it can be used equally well in races or during training. On dry or wet roads, the Michelin Power Cup Black TS guarantees excellent handling thanks to its Gum-X compound. With this excellent grip, you can ride safely even when picking up speed on descents. This comes as no surprise, given that this tyre draws on MotoGP technology for its performance and rolling resistance.

As well as being comfortable, particularly in the 700x25C size, this tyre is highly reliable. Thanks to its 3x120 TPI casing and Aramid Shield technology, the Michelin Power Cup Black TS Tube Type effectively reduces the risk of punctures, even on rough road surfaces. In short, this new tyre from the Auvergne-based brand is set to appeal to a wide audience, from the most demanding competitors to weekend cyclists.
