Increase your track time while lowering your lap times!

Michelin's street-legal sportsbike tyre designed for 90% track use. Plug-and-Play Performance covers Michelin's range of street, track day and race motorcycle tyres. Quick warm up and shared architecture, dual compounds and tread patterns enable effortless sportbike set-up from street to track. This treaded version of Michelin's Power Slick² race tyre, approved for road use, features a synthetic component which promotes ultra-fast warm-up for immediate high performance on road or track: without necessarily using tyre warmers. Dual compound construction offers good straight-line and cornering grip through the use of Michelin 2CT+ Technology on the rear and Michelin 2CT Technology on the front. Constant high performance, both on road and track thanks to the Michelin Carbon Black Technology in the tread, selected by high performance motorcycle manufacturers. Michelin Premium Touch Design graces the Power Cup 2 sidewalls with patented and recognisable style.

  • Street legal sportbike tire designed for 90% track use
  • Plug-and-Play Performance for immediate use
  • Excellent grip with 2CT (front) and 2CT+ (rear) Technology
  • Michelin Premium Touch Design for style

 

NB: As from 1st March 2024, all tyres will incur a Government mandated disposal fee under the Waste Minimisation (Tyres) Regulations 2023. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Plug-and-Play Performance covers Michelin's range of street, track day and race motorcycle tyres. Quick warm up and shared architecture, dual compounds and tread patterns enable effortless sportbike set-up from street to track. This treaded version of Michelin's Power Slick² race tyre, approved for road use, features a synthetic component which promotes ultra-fast warm-up for immediate high performance on road or track: without necessarily using tyre warmers. Dual compound construction offers good straight-line and cornering grip through the use of Michelin 2CT+ Technology on the rear and Michelin 2CT Technology on the front. Constant high performance, both on road and track thanks to the Michelin Carbon Black Technology in the tread, selected by high performance motorcycle manufacturers. Michelin Premium Touch Design graces the Power Cup 2 sidewalls with patented and recognisable style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eStreet legal sportbike tire designed for 90% track use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ePlug-and-Play Performance for immediate use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eExcellent grip with 2CT (front) and 2CT+ (rear) Technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eMichelin Premium Touch Design for style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNB: As from 1st March 2024, all tyres will incur a Government mandated disposal fee under the Waste Minimisation (Tyres) Regulations 2023.
