The Michelin Power GP is a track-focused tire designed for the serious performance enthusiast. It caters to riders who demand maximum grip and precise handling for track days and competition use, while still maintaining DOT approval for street legality. This tire is ideal for sportbike and superbike riders who prioritize lap times and pushing their machines to the limit.
The Power GP utilizes a very soft compound to deliver exceptional grip in dry conditions. Its tread pattern is optimized to maximize the contact patch, providing enhanced feedback and control during cornering and hard acceleration. The reduced void ratio further contributes to superior dry grip, inspiring confidence when pushing the boundaries on the track.
Michelin employs its 2CT and 2CT+ technology in the Power GP. This technology utilizes a harder compound in the center of the tire for increased durability and a softer compound on the shoulders for enhanced cornering grip. The 2CT+ technology on the rear tire further enhances stability during braking, cornering, and acceleration. The Power GP distinguishes itself with its focus on outright grip and track performance. While it may not offer the same level of wet weather performance or longevity as some street-oriented sport tires, its primary mission is to deliver class-leading dry grip and precise handling for the track. The UTQG treadwear rating of 75 reflects its soft compound and track-oriented design.
