  • Hey Everyone,
    I was invited by Michelin to head to Portugal to test out 3 tyres:
    MICHELIN POWER 6s
    MICHELIN POWER GP2s
    MICHELIN ANAKEE ROADS
    On Day 1 here, we tested the Michelin POWER 6s and POWER GP2s.
    On Day 2 (to be posted soon) we tested Michelin ANAKEE ROADS on the road and the POWER 6s and POWER GP2s on Track.
    I hope you enjoy it :)

    Very privileged everytime I get a mention in one of your videos Kate 🙏🏼, capable all the way up to fast group on a track day, power 5’s worked in fast group last year until I had a spill, be nice to try the power 6’s and also gp 2’s in the near future, tried older models to them already and can use and make all work, Michelin all the way 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

    My only Michelin experience is of Pilot Sport's on my old Buell S1 Lightning-I loved them. My new Triumph Tiger 1050 is on Pirelli Angel GT's-another tyre I had never tried but they seem grippy in the wet and dry, communicative and hopefully will provide decent longevity. The art of tyres and compounds is a particularly complex one and I guess the "feel" of a tyre can either make or break a bike's reputation.

      Absolutely! If you get a shocking tyre as a stock component it potentially costs you future sales.

    Awesome video! I have the Road 6"s on my bike and I can't believe how great they are in any condition. Especially wet. The primary benefit though is how quiet they are. Best!

    Great video Kate, I’ve just today purchased a set of power 6’s for my superduke, after reading the reviews , I’ve always gone with the Diablo Rosso , but fancied a change this time, looking forward to getting out and scrubbing them in now 😁

    Kate, Aprilla sounds great. I have used Michelins on and off for years they used to be soft and grippy in the 70s and still are great at tyres. But it's amazing that some bikes perform better on different tyres. Pirelli are great, also had a lot of Dunlop roads mart and they grip well in all weather. It must be nice in the dry and sun good for you.

    A great video: very well put out. Tyres are a very important part of your ride.
    When I road sport bikes I always went for road legal slicks: Didn’t ride it in wet or cold. Cruiser I never really give two brass shites.
    Joe for the adventure bikes: and baby trail bikes. Im finding it more important to know what tyre I need…

      On my dualsport/adventure bikes I rode with Metzeler Tourance. Amazing on road and green laning, sticky enough on the tarmac and suprisingly durable on the loose stuff. I think they still do them.

    Hi Kate
    I have pirelli tyres on my CB650 and agree they feel the best for a sporty ride, but on my old Suzuki Bandit I use Battleax and find they're okay for that style and era of machine.
    On the bikes you were riding I'd settle for the Power Six. Seems like a good all-rounder.
    Great video and informative. Thanks.
