Michelin unveils world’s first dual compound scooter tyre
Michelin has unveiled the world’s first dual compound scooter tyre – the Power Pure SC.
In just six years, the European scooter tyre market has expanded by 73%, meaning that in less than a decade, this urban vehicle has become a true social phenomenon.
Much more practical that a car and less restrictive than mass transit, the scooter is playing an increasingly important role in urban and suburban environments. This major mobility trend is accompanied by new needs since scooter users are not only more numerous but also better informed and more demanding. Today’s scooter user is looking for safety as much as driving performance.
That’s why Michelin is now launching the MICHELIN Power Pure SC, the world’s first scooter tyre that integrates dual compound technology.
Never before has a scooter tyre been produced with MICHELIN 2CT (Dual Compound Technology), a leading-edge solution developed directly from Michelin’s motorcycle racing tyres.
The process consists of using different rubber compounds for different parts of the tread to produce a tyre capable of delivering safety, grip, sportiness and longevity.
