The new Michelin Pro5 is designed to meet the needs of the most demanding cyclists, whether they enjoy long rides or road racing.
The wheel/tire assembly, we will never tire of saying this, plays a key role in the dynamic behavior of the bike, transmitting the force necessary for movement. The tire is also the only point of contact between the bicycle and the often uneven and bumpy road. If the cyclist cannot change the surface on which he pedals, he can still choose the tire best suited to his needs.
What the new Pro5 looks like
Michelin Pro5 is a tire developed for both training and competition, very versatile and particularly effective over long distances. Significantly more efficient than its predecessor, the Michelin Pro4 Endurance, the new Michelin Pro5 benefits from a 35% gain in smoothness (1). An improvement achieved thanks to the new tubeless ready design and Michelin Gum-X compound.
Associating a new tread pattern and wider sections (28 mm to 35 mm), Michelin Pro5 was developed to offer cyclists maximum comfort, grip and durability on dry and wet terrain. In fact, its internal structure allows the cyclist to decrease inflation pressure, thus generating more riding comfort at all speed levels.
The combination of the specific tread pattern and Michelin Gum X compound gives excellent braking performance on wet ground to provide safety and driving pleasure in training, as well as performance in race(2).
Long-distance enthusiasts will also appreciate the Michelin Pro5’s tightness, which allows the pressure to remain constant for a long time.
The Michelin Pro5, offered in sizes 28/30/32/35 mm, is available with both black and para-colored sides.
(1) Rolling resistance test, conducted in the independent test laboratory of Wheel Energy (Finland), on 04/12/2024 comparing a 28-622 Michelin PRO4 Endurance Black TS and a 28-622 Michelin PRO5 Black TS TLR at the same pressure on the same road. The test was performed on the same wheel with the same initial pressure. Results may vary based on actual use, depending on road conditions, driving severity, and weather conditions.
(2) Wet Braking: Wet braking test conducted at the independent testing laboratory Wheel Energy (Finland), on 04/12/2024, comparing a Michelin Power Cup Classic TS TLR 28-622, a Michelin PRO5 Black TS TLR 28-622 and a 28-622 Michelin PRO4 Endurance Black TS. Tests were performed at isopressure and wheel, under the same grip conditions. The results may vary depending on the actual conditions of use, especially depending on the road, driving difficulties, and weather conditions.
