The Michelin Road Classic Rear Tire, part number 26863, is designed to deliver superior wet grip and stability for classic motorcycle enthusiasts. Incorporating Michelin® Silica Rain Technology™ (SRT), this tire offers approximately 50% more wet grip compared to its predecessor, ensuring safer and more confident riding in rainy conditions. The innovative compound mix is supported by a 26% void ratio, optimizing water dispersal and traction on wet surfaces. Its bias ply technology and dual crown plies enhance overall cornering and straight-line stability, making it ideal for vintage and modern Triumph® models like the Bonneville T100 and Street Twin. This tire is engineered for riders seeking a blend of classic aesthetics and modern performance without compromising safety or handling.
The Road Classic's construction features a bias casing supported by two crown plies, which contribute to increased stability during aggressive cornering and high-speed straightaways. In-house tests comparing wet lap times with other tires have demonstrated its superior wet performance, with lap times significantly faster than the Michelin® Pilot® Activ. Additionally, subjective on-road evaluations confirm its enhanced stability at maximum speeds, providing riders with confidence during spirited rides and daily commutes alike. This tire's classic appearance combined with modern rubber technology makes it a versatile choice for vintage motorcycle restorations or custom builds.
