The Michelin Pilot Power 2CT is a high-performance tire designed for the demanding sportbike rider who frequents both the road and the track. This tire stands out due to its dual-compound technology, derived from Michelin's extensive MotoGP racing experience.
The Pilot Power 2CT utilizes a differentiated compound construction. The center of the tire features a compound engineered to withstand high speeds, acceleration, and braking forces. The shoulders incorporate a 20% softer compound to maximize grip and confidence when cornering at aggressive lean angles. This combination allows for both excellent straight-line stability and exceptional cornering ability.
The tire's design caters to riders seeking enhanced grip and handling capabilities. While optimized for dry conditions, the Pilot Power 2CT also provides dependable performance in wet conditions. The UTQG treadwear rating of 40 indicates that this tire prioritizes grip over longevity, making it suitable for track days and spirited riding where ultimate performance is paramount. The Pilot Power 2CT serves as a bridge between a pure racing tire and a standard street tire, offering increased cornering adhesion for track days while maintaining greater durability than a dedicated race tire.
