Michelin promises plenty of grip in all conditions with the new Wild Race'R Enduro Rear mountain bike tire. The rear tire is designed for the best performance on firm, dry ground and also shines on wet ground with excellent grip. Like its predecessor of the same name, the new development also impresses with its low rolling resistance and long service life.

In order to achieve optimum traction in all conditions, the Michelin developers focused entirely on the tread pattern, which accounts for around 70 percent of the grip of a mountain bike tire. This is characterized by the high density of the longitudinal edges, which allows the rider to keep the track precisely when braking.

An additional advantage of this design is the exceptional grip when leaning. Another feature of the is the progressive shoulder lug design, which is intended to optimize braking performance on steep bends. The tread lugs also have many edges running at a 90-degree angle to the direction of travel, which increases the braking force and ensures a more sensitive braking feel. Particularly pleasing: the excellent braking performance is maintained for a very long time, even with increasing wear.

The innovative rubber compound of the so-called Gum-X series also contributes significantly to the outstanding performance and excellent grip of the tubeless-ready tire. This ensures low rolling resistance and is also characterized by low wear. The features of the new enduro tire also include Michelin's sidewall technology. An additional protective layer from bead to bead makes the carcass even more resistant to damage on the sides and protects against punctures and punctures.

Top riders from the enduro scene as development partners
Michelin developed the Wild Race'R Enduro Rear in cooperation with some of the most high-profile top riders on the enduro scene, including Jérôme Clementz, overall winner of the 2013 Enduro World Series, Karim Amour, 2014 European Enduro Champion, and Rémy Absalon, nine-time winner of the Megavalanche race, the longest and toughest downhill competition in the world. "We did a lot of testing with Michelin to find the best compromise between performance, grip, weight, durability and comfort. I have to say, it's a real pleasure to ride with this new tire in practically all conditions," said Clementz.

Michelin offers the new tire in two sizes, 27.5 x 2.35 and 29 x 2.35.
