Michelin Wild Mud Advanced Reinforced MTB Tyre
These Wild Mud 650B tyres from Michelin have been designed for muddy Enduro terrains and offer outstanding performance, good grip, excellent traction and great self cleaning. During a muddy Enduro event, these are the things that matter the most.
Top Features of the Michelin Wild Mud Advanced Reinforced Folding 650B Tyre
•A architecture with a Michelin reinforced casing designed for Enduro riding
•The New cuttable Michelin tread has a guide on the tread block for a clean and precise cut
•A new specially adapted rubber mix - MAGI-X series
•The tall blocks plus the steps on their bodies give the tyre optimum mud penetration in search of hard packed ground, giving more adherence
•Whilst in contact with the ground, the blocks twist and straighten under braking and traction. As they come away from the ground, they revert to their original position. This block movement creates a self-cleaning tread to clear the mud quickly ensuing optimised grip under traction and braking
•In the practice of Enduro riding, the cutting of blocks can provide a more precise tread pattern depending on the terrain giving better grip for example on mixed or dry terrain
•Weight: 990g
•TPI: 30
Advanced Technology
Advanced Technology tyres benefit from superior performance thanks to the special nature of their tread patterns and rubber compounds (GUM-X series) or their casing architecture (ex Reinforced Technology).
Reinforced Technology
Thanks to its additional protective ply running from one bead to the other, Michelin Reinforced Technology improves the casing's resistance to external attack on the sidewalls and reduces punctures due to impact or pinching. This technology is particularly suited to Enduro use.
Magi-X Series
Michelin Magi-X series is the latest Michelin MTB rubber compound for Enduro use. Developed and used in the “Enduro World series”, this rubber mixture offers very high efficiency with exceptional grip on the angle, but also excellent braking under the most demanding conditions. Michelin's Magi-X series is mainly intended to be used on the front wheel.
About MTB Off-Road Tyres
These tyres are for mountain bikes and intended primarily for off road use, the knobbly patterns provide grip when steering and traction when applying power to the pedals. There is usually a tyre to suit the conditions in which you are riding in so the right choice is important. On dry days a narrow tyre with a smoother central tread can be used, but on a wet day a wider tyre with a deeper knobbly tread pattern is essential or you could be the one in contact with the mud.
About the Michelin brand
The Michelin tyres saga begins 1891, with the invention of the first demountable tyre for bicycles. Over the ensuing years, Michelin has never stopped technological innovations for bicycles, such as the first flexible-bead clincher in 1978, the first tyre with a high-density carcass in 1983, and the first tyre with a high-performance silica rubber compound in 1995. In 2000, Michelin introduced the first tubeless tyre for mountain bikes, and has been testing tubeless road tyres in competition since 2003. Riding with total confidence in your tyres means that grip and safety must be optimal under any conditions, in extreme weather or at high speeds. It’s why year after year Michelin introduces technological innovations and develops products with ever-higher performance. Nowadays, the development of bicycle tyres benefits from the same research methods used in designing tyres for Formula 1 and even the space shuttle. Michelin is the only manufacturer developing tyres for such diverse R&D environments. At Michelin they are more than just a tyre manufacturer. They are a community of men and women committed to social responsibility. Below are examples of how they strive to reduce our impact on the environment while delivering greater value, riding pleasure and security.
