Shaving 2lbs off the weight of a modern sport bike which tips the scales at 400lbs might not seem such a big deal.
Yet it is, since the saving in question concerns a part of the bike that is not covered by the suspension.
So-called unsprung weight. In other words, the lower a bike's unsprung weight, the easier it is to switch from leaning into a righthand turn to leaning into a lefthander.
And vice-versa. Gyroscopic forces mean that running a 2lbs lighter tyre is equivalent to saving 6lbs on rims or 8lbs on brake discs.
Is the Two-Compound Technology (2CT) the same for MICHELIN Power Pure compared to MICHELIN Pilot Power 2CT?
The Two-Compound Technology of MICHELIN Power Pure has evolved compared to MICHELIN Pilot Power 2CT and puts more maxi-grip soft tread compound on the tire shoulders, which helps provide much more grip much earlier during cornering.
Where does MICHELIN LTT and 2CT technologies come from?
MICHELIN LTT and 2CT technologies stem directly from the world of racing, thanks to the MICHELIN Power Research Team – the world's fastest mobile testing facility – and to MICHELIN's partner teams. To date, MICHELIN has notched up 14 Enduranceworld titles, plus 360 GP500/MotoGP wins and 26 world titles since 1973. For Michelin, over and above winning, racing serves just one purpose, which is to pass on the benefits of competition to everyday road users.What is good for the safety and performance of a champion, is all the more so for you!
