MICHELIN TYRE POWER CUP 700x25C CLASSIC TS TLR

Product Information

But where a high TPI tyre will be used over rougher terrain, a slight drop in pressure – always within the recommended levels – may help to reduce the risk of a puncture.

Our lab testing took place at the Silverstone Sports Engineering Hub, where we used its bicycle-specific rolling resistance rig to determine how efficient each tyre is. All else being equal, a tyre which produces less rolling resistance will enable you to ride faster for the same effort. The Power Cup TLR tyre is said to be inspired by MotoGP motorbike tyre technology, featuring a derivative of Michelin’s Gum X compound. If you're still on 15 or 17 mm rims, we definitely recommend the Power Cup TLR over the Grand Prix 5000 S TR.Going after some marginal gains this year, so going to finally pull the trigger on some michelin power cup's. Also making the switch to latex tubes. Should be looking at about 5w+ gain on each wheel over michelin endurance v2 with butyl tubes, so that should be pretty significant. Hope puncture resistance is still good enough, but moving away from the desert and all the rando sharp things I feel a bit better running these daily. you're not going to touch the sidewall itself at any normal cornering lean, though you might get it close enough to the ground to expose it to gravel and class

The MICHELIN POWER CUP Tubular uses technologies, including Gum-X Technology for optimised rolling efficiency, cornering grip and longevity; High Density Shield Technology for high levels of puncture resistance; a 2x 160 TPI casing which offers comfort at high operating pressures; and a Latex Tube to reduce weight, while at the same time enhancing puncture protection, rolling efficiency and comfort.Interestingly, Michelin has been comparatively slow on the tubeless uptake – this is currently the brand’s only tubeless option for road use (although given the growing presence of all-season tubeless road tyres, I wonder if that might change soon). When compared to the Power Cup TLR, which comes with a 4x120 TPI casing and a "Tubeless Shield" layer that runs from bead to bead, the tube-type Power Cup comes with a more traditional 3x120 TPI casing with an extra layer of "Aramid Shield" anti-puncture material under the center of the tread. The thing both tires have in common is the compound as they both use Michelin's latest "Gum-X" compound that shows very strong performance in our tests. For the record, I ran these 5psi lower than my usual 85psi, and they actually measured 30.4mm on my 19.5mm ID rims. I was happy with the slight extra compliance at 80psi, and they didn't feel any slower rolling either. Value If you find an item at a lower price with another commercial internet retailer, you will receive it from us at the same price, provided the conditions listed in the link are met. The Michelin POWER CUP TLR Competition Line is a tubeless-ready folding tyre for road bikes that performs well in both training and competition.

I don't know where you race crust but here in the northeast your puncture probability with corsa speed is probably >50% per race. I love them, but only for TTs Der Michelin hat subjektiv ähnlichen, extrem niedrigen Rollwiderstand wie der Conti, was für Michelin ein enormer Fortschritt ist. Der Reifen ist sehr schnell. We would have loved to rate the new Power Cup TLR 5 out of 5, but we have to subtract 0.2 points as the casing seems way too big for a 25-622 tire, and (even more important) the tread is far too small. The tread-to-casing ratio (percentage of the casing covered by the tread) comes in at just 35.2% (GP 5000 S TR = 42.2%), the lowest tread cover of all road bike tires that we've had on the test bench.Michelin are perhaps not the first brand you think of when looking for a high performance road tyre, but the Michelin Powercup tubeless ready tyre may change that. Puncture Force Blunt Needle: The Blunt needle has a flat tip and won't split the casing wires. To puncture the tire, the blunt needle has to cut the casing wires. I only see results for the clincher + standard weight butyl tube in the BikeRadar link. Let's see results for the tubeless version... This is claimed to offer low rolling resistance in dry conditions, but deliver good grip in the wet. NOTE: From November 1, 2022, the road bike category has been updated to support multi tire sizes. Because the measured width of this tire is wider or narrower than the original values, the rolling resistance test results have been revised.

NOTE: As of 2021, we've improved the puncture resistance tests and now provide 'Total Puncture Score' as the main puncture resistance indicator.Michelin has launched its new MICHELIN POWER CUP range of premium road bicycle tyres. Designed for road cyclists looking for the ultimate performance, this new range offers something for everyone – from riders racing in the Grand Tours, to enthusiastic amateurs who just want the optimum performance during their rides.
