200/55 ZR17 78W Michelin Power Slick 2

Pure Track Performance With Consistent Lap After Lap Grip

The Michelin Power Slick 2 is built for riders who want maximum pace on track without the complexity of full race spec tyres. Designed for modern hypersport machines, it delivers fierce edge grip, stable behaviour under heavy load and fast warm up characteristics that help riders push harder, sooner. This is a tyre created purely for closed circuit use — engineered for speed, precision and consistency.

Key Technical Characteristics

Dual Compound Grip for Maximum Drive

The front uses a dual compound layout for predictable turn in and strong shoulder grip, while the rear incorporates a harder base layer beneath the softer edges to increase stability at lean. This structure helps the tyre maintain traction during aggressive corner exits and high speed transitions.

Fast Warm Up for Immediate Pace

A synthetic enhanced compound allows the tyre to reach its working temperature quickly. Tyre warmers are recommended for peak performance, but the Power Slick 2 is designed to offer usable grip even without them — giving riders confidence from the first laps of a session.

Michelin Carbon Black Rich Compound for Endurance

The tread compound is engineered to deliver consistent performance across repeated heat cycles. The high carbon black content improves dry surface grip and helps the tyre maintain its edge performance during long stints, qualifying runs or endurance style sessions.

Stable, Predictable Behaviour at Speed

The internal construction supports the tyre under extreme braking and strong acceleration, giving riders a planted, controlled feel. This stability is especially noticeable on powerful litre class bikes where carcass support is critical.

Positioning Summary

The Michelin Power Slick 2 offers:

• Maximum dry surface grip for serious track riding
• Fast warm up for early session confidence
• Stable cornering support from dual compound construction
• Consistent performance across heat cycles and long runs
• A pure track only design for riders focused solely on lap times

It’s a tyre built for riders who want uncompromising track performance and the confidence to push harder from the moment they leave pit lane.

Track Only Use

The Michelin Power Slick 2 is a dedicated track tyre and is not approved for road use. With no tread pattern and a construction designed purely for closed circuit performance, it does not meet the legal requirements for public roads. This tyre should only be fitted for track days where slick tyres are permitted.
