The Honda Gold Wing is certainly a very special bike and Michelin is focusing on the needs of this bike to present a tyre developed specifically for it. Under the name Michelin Road W GT, this tyre has been presented at the Milan 2024 show.
The Gold Wing is undoubtedly one of the largest GTs on the market and this means that many of its users have a very high annual mileage. According to Michelin, its low centre of gravity, which gives it commendable agility for a bike of its size and weight, together with the torque and response of the high-displacement six-cylinder engine, subject the tyre to extreme stress, especially when accelerating, braking or taking successive curves.
Maxis are not just a scooter for the city: their use on the road, for leisure trips, has gained followers and Michelin wants to offer an option focused on this dual use, daily use and sports driving with the new Michelin Power Shift.
A tyre that aims to offer greater performance and versatility than a standard tyre for this type of sporty maxi scooters and which replaces the Pilot Road 4SC and Pilot Power 3SC, thus simplifying the choice for users.
The new Power Shift benefits from Reinforced Radial X-Evo technology in the casing and the familiar 2CT+ dual-compound tread. This means improved rigidity when leaning the bike and therefore greater stability even when accelerating out of corners.
