New Michelin Pilot Road 4 is a further development of the successful predecessors Pilot Road 2 & 3
Pilot Road 4 has a new design for increased durability and stability. The riding performance in wet conditions is improved with a focus on short braking distance with more stability and manageability.
2CT - Two Compound Technology, gives a harder rubber compound in the center of the tread and softer on the sides for optimal grip and durability. Compared to its predecessor, the Pilot Road 4 has an increased lifespan of up to 20%!
Pilot Road 4 comes in three different versions, all with the same pattern but with different structure of the tyre. Pilot Road 4 star rating, Pilot Road 4 GT and Pilot Road Trail.
Pilot Road 4 star - Standard motorcycles such as Kawasaki Z750, Yamaha MT-07 and Kawasaki ER-6.
Pilot Road 4 GT - Larger touring motorcycles 1000cc and up. Pilot Road 4 GT sits original on BMW R 1200 RT.
