MICHELIN - 50992 - Power 5 Tire
The Michelin Power 5 is a premium sport bike tire built to stay fun in both wet and dry conditions, and this 160/60ZR17 rear is the narrower of the sizing options in the lineup, suited to lighter sportbikes and nakeds. Its 2CT and 2CT+ compounds carry an 11% void ratio front and rear specifically to move water and hold grip when the road is soaked, while the patented sidewall design gives it unmistakable sportbike styling. It's (W)-rated for speeds well over 168 mph and built for year-round use, not a fair-weather tire for riders logging real miles.
