MICHELIN TYRE POWER CUP 700x25C CLASSIC TS TLR

Product Information

the question to me is about that middle section which is very much standard cornering surface - why is it so differentiated from the central area (in the reverse way of what we often see) and what does that mean for grip and protection when cornering? If you're still on 15 or 17 mm rims, we definitely recommend the Power Cup TLR over the Grand Prix 5000 S TR. Firstly, road bike tyre pressure usually requires the front and rear wheels to be inflated to the same pressure. The only exception to this would be the fitting of two different tyre models, each with a different recommended pressure. The next thing to consider with road bike tyre pressure is the tyre section width and most importantly the weight of the rider. The heavier the rider, the higher the bike's tyre pressure should be. The Power Cup can be considered a versatile "all-round" road bike tire that can be used for racing, training, and everything in between. The main competitor in the all-round category is the well-known Continental Grand Prix 5000 ( read our review), that's been around since 2018. When looking at Michelin's road bike tire lineup, the Power Cup replaces both the Power Competition and the Power Road as the Power Cup is quite a step up and outperforms both the Power Competition and Power Road.

Auf exakt gleichen Felgen habe ich noch den Conti 5000 TL in 28mm in Betrieb, kann also gut vergleichen. Grip: Efficient handling and stability on wet and dry surfaces thanks to the MICHELIN GUM-X compound The granting of a best price is not combinable with other promotions (e.g. "free articles) from Bike-Discount. Both cyclists and bike engineers can make slight adjustments to the bike tyre pressure to take account of the TPI rating of the tyres they are using. A slightly higher pressure for a lower TPI tyre may be appropriate for road use, where punctures are less common.

Tyre Size Guide

Overall, these offer an attractive combination of high rolling speed, rapid steering and reassuringly tangible grip, alongside enough protection to survive well in real world, less-than-ideal conditions. Verdict I’ve always been a fan of this michelin tire line for 15 years -> krylion carbon to endurance to endurance v2. These power cup seem to have a lot of the puncture resistance of those tires but now in a better rolling resistance/performance format. If they have roughly the same puncture resistance I’d be willing to give them a shot. For the record, I ran these 5psi lower than my usual 85psi, and they actually measured 30.4mm on my 19.5mm ID rims. I was happy with the slight extra compliance at 80psi, and they didn't feel any slower rolling either. Value

Although they come in very close, the 28 mm version of the Michelin Power Cup TLR edges out the 25 mm version ( read our review) in most of our tests, making it an even stronger performer when compared to competing tires. We see a slightly lower rolling resistance, slightly better puncture resistance of both the tread and sidewall, and slightly better wet grip in both the center and edge tests. The main idea is that there is simply a balance to strike when pumping up bicycle tyres. And to help you with this, MICHELIN provides a range of recommended tyre pressures for all tyre models. Our tests show that the Michelin Power Cup is one of the strongest performing tires when it comes to the traditional tube-type (clincher) tires. We put it on equal footing with the Continental Grand Prix 5000 ( read our review) as it's a little bit slower rolling but shows nearly perfect performance in our wet grip test. When deciding between the Power Cup or Grand Prix 5000, it will be up to the individual to decide if they prefer the slightly lower rolling resistance or the better wet grip. This is claimed to offer low rolling resistance in dry conditions, but deliver good grip in the wet. NOTE: From November 1, 2022, the road bike category has been updated to support multi tire sizes. Because the measured width of this tire is wider or narrower than the original values, the rolling resistance test results have been revised.Finally, we subjected the tyres to a series of test rides in the real world, to judge their subjective ride quality, grip levels and comfort. Tyres on test The Power Cup is the latest addition to Michelin's road bike tire lineup. With the Power Cup, Michelin goes head-on with the Continental Grand Prix 5000 series that's been the "gold standard" in road bike tires for the past few years. The Power Cup is available in a traditional "clincher" tube-type version, a tubeless-ready (TLR) version, and a tubular version for those that still prefer tubular tires. But where a high TPI tyre will be used over rougher terrain, a slight drop in pressure – always within the recommended levels – may help to reduce the risk of a puncture. Here's the review on the non-tubeless version (aka tube style clincher): https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/...s/michelin-power-cup Michelin has some pretty big claims to make about the speed of the Power Cup range, but again they're easy to believe. Personally, I think these offer a really useful blend of strength and performance, and I'll happily take the reasonable if not outstanding suppleness as a compromise.

you're not going to touch the sidewall itself at any normal cornering lean, though you might get it close enough to the ground to expose it to gravel and class If you find an item at a lower price with another commercial internet retailer, you will receive it from us at the same price, provided the conditions listed in the link are met. The most interesting measurements here are the size and tread width, which confirm that the Michelin Cup TLR isn't made for wide rims. Although the tread is slightly wider (+ 1 mm) on the 28 mm version, the total tread cover is even lower as (obviously) the casing of the 28 mm version is wider than the 25 mm version. The 28 mm version of the Michelin Power Cup TLR is now the tire with the lowest tread cover (35%) of all road bike tires tested to date, with most of the competition offering at least 40% tread cover. The Michelin Power Cup TLR tyre is Michelin’s answer to the likes of the Continental GP5000 S TR and Schwalbe Pro One TLE, and many other high-end road bike tyres besides. We then assessed how easy (or difficult) it was to mount a set of each tyre to rims and set them up tubeless.

Not only have I had tested these tyres myself over several months, they have also been the tyre of choice for my race team ( Hutchinson-BrotherUK) this season, so together we have really put them through their paces! Michelin Powercup – Speed Meanwhile Competition Line has the Power Cup and Power Cup TLR tyres – TLR for tubeless ready. Michelin have created new tread compounds to improve speed, rolling efficiency and cornering grip. These compounds have come from Michelin’s experience in the world of MotoGP. Michelin Power Cup Tubular Michelin Power Cup Tubular I only see results for the clincher + standard weight butyl tube in the BikeRadar link. Let's see results for the tubeless version... TPI stands for “Threads Per Inch”. In precise terms, this means the number of threads in the structure of the tyre’s rubber compound for every inch of its construction. It’s easy to get TPI and PSI confused, but just remember: TPI is related to the density of the tough cords in the tyre's casing – it’s not in any way related to bike tyre pressure. For example, for road use, a tyre with a 120 TPI carcass will be lighter, softer and more mobile than tyres with a lower value, because the threads are thinner, just like the carcass. That's a good thing for cyclists to bear in mind if they are looking for tyres to race on which they will pump up to a high pressure to obtain maximum speeds.
