Power GP 2

The Michelin Power GP 2 is a high-performance tire designed for the discerning rider who demands exceptional grip and handling for both track days and spirited road riding. It serves as a bridge between pure track tires and more road-oriented options, offering a balanced 50/50 blend of performance and versatility. This tire is particularly well-suited for owners of sportbikes and superbikes who frequent the track but also require a tire that performs admirably on the street.

The Power GP 2 distinguishes itself with a very soft compound engineered for maximum grip in dry conditions. Michelin utilizes dual-compound technology in both the front and rear tires. The front tire features 2CT technology, while the rear incorporates 2CT+ technology, which enhances stability during braking, cornering, and acceleration. This design strategically places a harder compound in the center for increased durability and a softer compound on the shoulders for superior grip at high lean angles. The Power GP2 also uses MotoGP technology and materials.

Compared to its predecessor, the Power GP, the Power GP 2 boasts improvements in dry grip, wet grip and durability. While optimized for dry performance, the tire also provides usable grip in wet conditions. The tread pattern is designed to maximize dry grip, but still incorporates enough tread to maintain traction in the wet. The carcass construction promotes stability and feedback, inspiring confidence when pushing the limits. The Michelin Power GP 2, with its UTQG treadwear rating of 40, represents a focused design for riders prioritizing peak performance and track-day readiness.
