Interbike 2008 - MTBR

Pro3 Race


Already proven in real world Pro Tour tests (including the Tour de France), the new Pro3 tire range will feature lighter weights, better efficiency and up to 27% more grip than the Pro² models they replace. In Michelin's own testing, we found a 3 mph increase in maximum speed when turning on a 25 meter radius corner. Look for them in the Spring of 2008.

Michelin Pro3 Race:
  • Co-extruded 100% Silica energy rubber mix for balanced grip and low rolling resistance and
  • ESC-extra supple casing for flexibility, performance and lightweight
  • Flexible beads (foldable tires)
  • High Density Puncture Protector – strong, lightweight, interwoven anti-puncture reinforcement inserted under the center tread
  • High Protect Rim System – Protective strip that protects the bead area against wear from the rim. The HPRS is used on all flexible-bead Michelin tires
  • Lightweight skinwalls, with casing plies surrounded by a thin coat of rubber
  • Dual Compound – technology for road tires, this includes two co-extruded compounds with one compound (with enhanced grip) on the shoulders and a second (with lower rolling resistance) in the center
