Michelin Trial X Light Tire

Details

If you love the feel and traction of a trials tire, the Michelin Trial X Light Tire is a great choice as it focuses and improves on everything a trial tire should be. Micheline has reduced the tire’s overall weight by more than a pound but at the same time they’ve stiffened up the sidewalls and made the tread area more flexible.

That means the Trial X Light is easier to maneuver, great a t maximizing the contact patch, and has more stability on the rim and when cornering. So if you’re willing to move a step in price, you’ll be rewarded with an exceptionally grippy tire that’s great at finding traction in slow, technical terrain.

Specs:

• More than a pound lighter than its predecessor, for improved suspension response and maneuverability
• Updated casing design improves lateral stability in corners compared with earlier Michelin trials tires
• Rigid sidewalls reduce tire movement on the rim, even at very low pressure
• Redesigned Trial X Competition casing is more flexible, for a larger contact patch and improved traction
• More flexible tread area for better grip on obstacles and rocks
• Not legal for highway use
