What technology does it use in its construction? Michelin's Protek comes off the shelf in a Standard compound focusing on longevity and performance, teamed with a their Protection casing reinforced 3x30TPI carcass. The 1mm protective layer to the crown delivers effective protection against road debris and foreign bodies during daily use. What is the intended use? Designed predominently as a city tyre, the Michelin Protek excels across a range of paved surfaces and light off-road terrain like hardpack trails and loose over hard roads, in both wet and dry conditions. The E-Bike ready tyre features a reflective sidewall strip aiding visibility in low light and a progressive sipe density design offering excellent wet grip, whilst robust enough to tackle undulated off-road pathways. Our verdict A fantastic replacement and upgrade to your City or Sport bike, unrestricted to paved surfaces allowing your adventures to go further, beyond the tarmac.
