GUM-X SERIES: Michelin Gum-X Series is the latest generation of rubber tyres developed by Michelin for the MTB range. The Brand's experience in the definition of these new rubber compounds enables mountain bikers to enjoy an excellent balance of performance between grip, efficiency and wear. Michelin Gum-X Series Compound is available in different shore (durometer) hardness ratings: the lower the index, the softer the rubber and the higher the index, the harder the rubber. |
Tubeless Ready: This reinforced MTB tyre can be used with the TubeType version (inner tube) or Tubeless (no inner tube) with liquid latex to seal it. With light sidewalls and lack of inner tube, this technology offers an extremely lightweight tyre. It ensures unmatched comfort allowing you to ride with lower pressure which optimises the grip and promotes efficiency.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY: A more resistant carcass. Michelin Reinforced technology has an additional protective bead to bead layer that improves the carcass's resistance to damage on the sides and reduces punctures caused by shocks or pinching. This technology is particularly adapted for Enduro. |
Michelin Wild mountain biking tyres (excluding the Run'R) can be mounted as Tubeless Ready tyres providing:
- The use of a tubeless-UST wheel
- Pressure levels do not exceed the maximum pressure indicated on the tyres
- Sealant is used
- Tyre pressure is checked before every use
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
TPI (Threads Per Inch): This is the measurement of the thread density in the tyre's carcass. The higher the density, the lighter, more flexible and smooth the tyre.
Bead: A tyre bead is a bundle of copper, aramid or carbon wires and it is the part of the tyre that anchors it to the rim. Rigid beads (TR) are made from copper and soft beads (TS) are made of aramid or carbon. They are lighter and more resistant allowing the tyre to bend without damage:
- Rigid bead: robustness (33 to 66 TPI)
- Soft bead: flexibility and efficiency (66 to 127 TPI)
