From £43.99 Tyres for getting wild

-

French tyre giants Michelin have expanded their range to include some enduro-specific front and rear rubber. Their new Wild Enduro tyres have been in developmen­t since 2015 and have been designed to cover 80 per cent of all riding conditions. The front tyre pictured here comes in a ‘GUM-X3D’ compound (£43.99) or a harder ‘MAGI-X’ rubber mix (£48.99). Michelin say this delivers better performanc­e when pushed harder, making it ideal for racers, while GUM-X3D provides more grip and stability for less experience­d riders. The rear tyre has a tighter-spaced and less aggressive tread pattern, and comes in the GUM-X3D compound only (£43.99). All three options have a reinforced ‘Gravity Shield’ casing to prevent pinching. Our sample weighs 1,136g. www.hotlines-uk.com
