Michelin City Grip 2 Scooter Tyres

This impressive looking scooter tyre is the evolution of the super-popular Michelin City Grip and has aptly been called the City Grip 2. The tyre again features Michelin’s latest Progressive Sipe Technology (PST) to improve safety on wet roads. The way the PST technology works is through the sipes design which runs the full depth of the tread rubber and inturn are there to cut through the water on the surface of wet roads so as to maintain good contact. These also increase towards the shoulder of the tyre so that more of them are in contact with the road as the scooter leans in corners, thus increasing grip for one, and of course, improving safety.

The City Grip 2 has a silica-based compound, something you commonly see on much larger motorbikes, and this provides a very high level of grip on wet or slippery surfaces including white stripes. The City Grip 2 range will eventually cover a large spectrum of scooters from 50cc and above. Another feature is the longevity of the tyre and also that it has been already chosen as an OE for Piaggio, Honda and many more.
