200/55 ZR17 78W Michelin Power GP 2

Road Sport Precision With Track Ready DNA

The Michelin Power GP 2 is designed for riders who want a tyre that delivers sharp, confidence inspiring performance on the road while still offering the grip and stability needed for fast laps on track. Positioned within Michelin’s hypersport range, it targets high performance bikes and riders who demand quick warm up, strong dry surface traction and predictable handling at lean.

Key Technical Characteristics

Sport Focused Grip for Dry Conditions

The compound blend and tread layout are engineered to maximise dry surface traction, giving riders the confidence to push harder on both road and track. The tyre delivers a clean, planted feel during corner entry and exit, helping unlock more of the bike’s potential.

Agile, Predictable Handling

The profile and carcass stiffness are tuned for fast steering response and stable mid corner behaviour. This gives the tyre a lively, precise feel that suits aggressive road riding and track day pace.

MotoGP Influenced Development

Michelin’s racing experience shapes the tyre’s compound behaviour, footprint evolution and feedback characteristics. The result is a road legal tyre that carries clear performance traits from Michelin’s top level racing programmes.

2CT & 2CT+ Dual Compound Construction

• Front: Dual compound design balances wear resistance with shoulder grip.
• Rear: A harder base layer sits beneath the softer edges, increasing stability under acceleration and heavy braking.

This structure helps the tyre maintain shape and support at high lean angles.

Advanced Compound Technologies

The Power GP 2 incorporates a blend of silica, carbon black, Radial X Evo construction and aramid reinforcement. Together, these technologies improve warm up behaviour, enhance grip in mixed conditions, increase structural stability and extend tyre life.

The Michelin Power GP 2 offers:

• Strong dry surface grip for spirited road and track riding
• Quick, precise handling with stable feedback at lean
• Dual compound stability from 2CT and 2CT+
• Racing influenced performance with everyday usability
• Durability and structural support from advanced compound and carcass technologies

It’s a tyre built for riders who want track inspired performance without sacrificing the practicality needed for real world road use
