3 LEADING OEMS CHOOSE MICHELIN AS A KEY PARTNER

Michelin has a long history in the development of two wheel tires, by supplying the fi rst motorcycles over a century ago. CHOSEN FOR TRAIL, ROAD AND TRACK USAGE… Iconic models like the Harley-Davidson® Fat Boy, Iron 883, or the latest FXDR 114 are solely fi tted with co- branded MICHELIN – Harley-Davidson® tires, marking years of close co-developments between both companies. The BMW GS range (R 1200 GS, F 750 and 850 GS) is primarily fi tted with Michelin tires thanks to a combination of an excellent high speed stability without compromising agility and adventure-ability. The launch of the new MICHELIN Anakee Adventure tire fi tted to the 2019 BMW R 1250 GS motorcycle further reinforces this relationship. New launches in the Sport Touring segment like the Honda CB500 will also be fi tted for the fi rst time with the MICHELIN Road 5 tire, enhancing bike agility and wet grip performance. …AND ALSO FOR DAILY RIDES IN CITIES Commuters who ride primarily on scooters like the Piaggio MP3, Yamaha X Max 300 or Honda Forza 125 will notice the excellent grip, secure ride and high mileage performance of the tires thanks to the 100% fi tment of MICHELIN City Grip on these vehicles. The MICHELIN City Grip is recognized as being the reference tire in this segment. The extensive homologations and fi tments on best-selling scooters is the best proof. A PROMISE OF INNOVATION AND QUALITY The quality of our products, expertise of the R&D Team, technologically advanced production processes and innovative solutions play a major role in enhancing the motorcycle’s performance, and ensuring a great riding experience. The innovation power of the Michelin Group enables us to supply OEMs with tires that respond to the strictest requirements while combining premium performances. TODAY MICHELIN PRIDES ITSELF BY BEING A KEY PARTNER TO LEADING OEMS LIKE BMW, HARLEY-DAVIDSON, HONDA, PIAGGIO AND YAMAHA.

5 MICHELIN TECHNOLOGIES

MICHELIN XST X-SIPES TECHNOLOGY The MICHELIN XST X-Sipe Technology featured on Michelin motorcycle tires delivers enhanced grip on wet roads thanks to the technology’s patented sipes and reservoirs which increase the tire’s water clearance capacity. In the case of scooter tires, a gradual increase in the number of full depth sipes as the vehicle leans into a corner allows the tire to break through the surface ﬁ lm of water until the tire is worn.

WET GRIP

Patented sipes and integrated water reservoirs allow the MICHELIN Chamfers XST X-Sipe Technology to deliver exceptional grip on wet roads. XST+ + technology includes transverse sipes to improve wet braking and X SIPE TECHNOLOGY + chamfers added to the sipe edges to help prevent abnormal wear in extreme conditions. The transverse sipes allow the front tire to break the water ﬁ lm and ensure outstanding braking in wet weather.

LONGEVITY + WET GRIP

MICHELIN’s XST and XST+ X-Sipe Technology is designed to evacuate New Tire water efﬁ ciently. However as the tire tread becomes worn, the ability Worn Tire to disperse water is naturally reduced. MICHELIN XST Evo siping technology is based on Michelin’s proven Evergrip™ tire tread design for automobiles. As the tire wears, the XST Evo siping grooves widen to allow increased water displacement.

DURABILITY + LONGEVITY + WET GRIP

MICHELIN DUAL COMPOUND TECHNOLOGY Successfully accomplishes two conﬂ icting ideals: wear resistance in the center of the tread, and grip on the shoulders. 2 3 1122 MICHELIN TECHNOLOGIES LONGEVITY + GRIP

STABILITY + LONGEVITY + GRIP SOFTER HARDER

DURABILITY OF THE RUBBER

MICHELIN COMFORT CASING TECHNOLOGY Featured in select MICHELIN off-road tires, the casing absorbs square edges and braking bumps better, and minimizes tire rebound, which helps reduce arm pump and rider fatigue.

COMFORT + CONTROL

6 MICHELIN ADAPTIVE CASING TECHNOLOGY+ A single ply with an angle close to 90° is used to reduce the carcass’ maximum rigidity in the crown area. Rigidity in the sidewall and shoulder areas are maintained through the use of high angle, overlapping cross plies. The soft top ply provides added straight line stability while the rigid sidewalls and shoulders help minimize drifting in curves.

HANDLING + STABILITY

MICHELIN DUAL ANGLE TECHNOLOGY A revolutionary new architecture for motorcycle tires, which provides the necessary strength & stability for heavier bikes – + solo, 2-up or with luggage – AND comfort for long journeys. BIAS RADIAL 2AT 2AT exceptionally combines elements of both radial and bias construction, providing the best compromise: Bias for its ability to withstand extra weight and Radial for the pleasure of riding.

STABILITY + COMFORT

MICHELIN ADT: AMPLIFIED DENSITY TECHNOLOGY A highly dense, more rigid tire casing, which helps deliver excellent feedback and handling. Aramid tread plies on the rear tire resist centrifugal growth, reduce weight and provide excellent stability.

UTILITY OF THE BEVELED GROOVE EDGES A proportion of the pattern’s groove edges are beveled, forming ‘scoops’ which facilitate the clearance of the mud and grit that can be encountered on non-sealed roads. As the tire wears, the amount of rubber in contact with the ground increases, providing added grip, thanks to the angled surface of these ‘scoops’.

UTILITY OF THE SERRATIONS ON THE GROOVE SIDES In the course of the tire’s working life, the way these 3D serrations wear enables the amount of rubber in contact with the ground to remain beneﬁ cial to grip in dry weather, while the additional edges contribute to grip on wet roads.

*The “legal life of the tire” is six years from the date of purchase or the life of the “usable tread,” which is deﬁ ned as the original tread worn down to the level of the treadwear indicators- 1/32nds of an inch of tread remaining, whichever occurs ﬁ rst. The date of purchase is documented by a new vehicle registration or tire sales invoice. If no proof of purchase is available, the date of manufacture, as molded on the sidewall, will be used. Michelin recommends removing a tire from service (regardless of condition) ten years from date of manufacture.
