Harley-Davidson choice to equip its latest Street Rod model with the new MICHELIN Scorcher® 21 is the latest illustration of the mutual confidence and synergies that have flourished between the two companies since 2007 through a partnership founded on the co-development of advanced technologies.
To make sure that it addresses the new Harley-Davidson motorcycle’s technical configuration and owners’ needs as accurately as possible, the MICHELIN Scorcher® 21 necessitated two years of development. The result is a tire that combines outstanding grip on wet roads, stability and smart cruiser styling.
A radial carcass incorporating aramid fiber
Aramid fiber, which is also a feature of Michelin’s hypersport tires, provides resistance and a lightweight feel. In addition to contributing to the MICHELIN Scorcher® 21’s sporty credentials, it ensures enhanced resistance to cuts and impacts, light weight and impeccable high-speed stability.
Michelin SRT (Silica Rain Technology)
The MICHELIN Scorcher® 21’s all-silica SRT tread compounds deliver grip in cold, wet and damp conditions, as well as extended service life.
Atread pattern conceived for city use
Looks are an essential part of the cruiser world, which is why the tread pattern of the MICHELIN Scorcher® 21 – a derivative of that of the MICHELIN Scorcher® 31 – was co-designed by Michelin and Harley-Davidson to complying perfectly with cruiser styling cues, while catering for the vagaries of urban streets and uneven road surfaces.
The Harley-Davidson® Street RodTM model is the twelfth model to be fitted with MICHELIN Scorcher tires. Starting this month, the MICHELIN Scorcher® 21 will be available in a choice of two sizes across Harley-Davidson extensive network and from specialist dealers.
