MICHELIN City Grip 2 - When it comes to tyres, the priorities listed by everyday users of small and bigger-engined scooters are safety, grip on all types of road at all times, reliability and longevity.
Michelin’s response to these demands was the MICHELIN City Grip which proved a big hit with customers, with sales over the period from 2010 to 2018 soaring to eight million units.
In today’s rapidly expanding global market, notably in cities and other built-up areas, the demands expressed by scooter owners have become even more exacting. To address this, Michelin has optimised its offering with the development of the MICHELIN City Grip 2.
Being able to count on a tyre that they can use whatever the season clearly facilitates customer choice, while the availability of a long list of sizes covering not only small-engined models but also maxi- and electric scooters further helps to cover consumers’ varied needs.
The MICHELIN City Grip 2 is designed to address the demands of modern scooter owners, including high grip performance on all the types of road they may come across in and around towns and cities. To achieve this, engineers working out of Michelin’s Technology Centre conceived an innovative compound which features specific materials, including silica. Along with the tyre’s new ‘shark’s tooth’ tread pattern design, it provides unprecedented grip performance in wet weather, with no detriment to the acclaimed longevity associated with Michelin tyres, like it’s predecessor the MICHELIN City Grip.
The MICHELIN City Grip 2 supersedes the original MICHELIN City Grip, with the exception of the range’s smaller sizes. The majority of the following sizes will be available for sale from January 2020:
