Description
A new innovation from Michelin, the Pro Optimum uses Front and Rear specific tread compounds. The slightly thicker rear tire is better equipped to handle the wear caused by the weight of the rider and the stress caused by direct power transfer from the bike's drivetrain, resulting in a longer service life with little weight penalty over the standard Pro3 Race.
The front tire carries less weight but is largely responsible for the bike's handling and traction, allowing Michelin to use a lighter compound optimized for excellent traction, similar to the Pro3 Grip. These two different compounds ensure both tires wear at the same rate, while offering the ideal blend of weight savings and durability.
Both tires feature a HD (high density) puncture protection barrier to keep out broken glass and other sharp objects. Only available in 25mm widths as a result of studies which have shown extra volume allows the tire to better conform to road imperfections, preserving energy.
