Michelin has completely renewed its range of tires from the high-end MTB introducing the new model WildGrip'R Avanced, specially designed for mix surfaces. The casing is nylon 127TPI, while the tread was completely revised in the position of the blocks and in the profile.

Now the tread is more rounded, has a different arrangement of knobs and a different orientation of the side knobs. The new shape has improved smoothness, while improved cornering grip. There is a anti punctures protection between tread and carcass. In size 26x2.10 weighs 500 grams, as observed with our instrumentation.
