MICHELIN ANAKEE 3 170/60-R-17 TYRES / TIRES: Rear

Michelin Anakee 170/60-R-17 Tyre features:

Any one who rides an Adventure bike or a dual sport motorcycle as they are called now days will be familiar with the Michelin Anakee range. Well, there is nothing familiar with the new Michelin Anakee in look or make up. Probably the most obvious thing is that you have never seen anything like it in a dual sport tyre.

Michelin Motorcycle Tyres have managed once again to create that feeling of ‘shock and awe’ when it comes to innovation and design. The Anakee is full of unique tread patterns and ground breaking tracking. The grooves are cut in an asymmetrical way with rectangular detents interspersed along the deep sipes.

This interruption of the sipe gives several edges in the tread which in turn help to grip and break up dirt. The product of this, is to gain traction but also helps with the evacuation if dirt and mud. Every other groove extends to the edge of the tyre, providing that much needed edge grip without disturbing the flat portion used on the street.

On closer inspection, each groove has what looks like teeth along the inside edge of the slice, further aiding grip and evacuation. Michelin claims better grip in all conditions, wet, dirt, and asphalt, as well as a longer tread life.
