The Michelin Power Slick 2 is a competition-focused tire engineered for track use and is not street legal. It's designed for riders whose priority is outright speed and achieving fast lap times. This tire provides extraordinary grip from the first lap to the last.
The Power Slick 2 utilizes Michelin 2CT and 2CT+ technology to optimize compound distribution for enhanced grip and stability. The front tire uses 2CT technology, while the rear uses 2CT+. This combination maximizes straight-line grip, stability, and lean performance. Its design allows for quick warm-up, potentially eliminating the need for tire warmers, though their use is still recommended by some.
Compared to other tires in Michelin's Power range, the Power Slick 2 is the most track-focused option. It distinguishes itself with a very soft compound and a UTQG treadwear rating of 1, indicating maximum grip and minimal longevity. The Michelin Power Slick 2 tires also feature Premium Touch Technology on the sidewalls, enhancing the sportbike's styling.
