While each o these six tires is dedicated to a specifcuse or purpose, they all have one thing in common inthat they were designed to deliver the most completeperormance combination.

In to eas, the entire line-up o MICHELIN motorcycle tires or road use will have been renewed.

By simultaneously bringing these six new tires tomarket, the Group is demonstrating its worldwidecommitment to riders to providing new tires, eacho which delivers more perormance. This is what isknown as MICHELIN Total Perormance the ability toengineer tires that leverage advanced technologies toeliminate perormance tradeos or users. MICHELINtires deliver in the areas o saety, riding enjoymentand total mileage.

MICHELIN Total Perormance is a global strategy. Itapplies to all categories o MICHELIN tires, whetheror motorcycles or or vehicles equipped by otherGroup divisions.

First-quarter 2013. To simultaneously bring six new tire ranges into the global marketplace, Michelin has le-veraged unprecedented R&D and production resources. Innovation is the cornerstone o this strategy andMichelin allocates more than 620 million a year to its Technology Center programs.

Michelin technoloies

i n n o v at i o n : a n i n t e g r a l p a r t o f M i c h e l i n s b u s i n e s s

In 1984, Michelin tested its frst radial motorcycle tiresin Grand Prix events and they very quickly becamethe benchmark. Radial technology provided a criticaladvantage in terms o resistance and stability at highspeeds, as well as consistently superior, long-termroad perormance, riding comort and longevity.

1987 : the frst radial tire or street bikes was intro-duced: the MICHELIN A59X / M59X.

2013 : the new MICHELIN Pilot Street Radial providesusers o mid-size bikes with access to this ad-vanced technology.

Ne 2013 octs ith aial technolo:

MICHELIN Power SuperSport, MICHELIN PilotPower 3, MICHELIN Pilot Street Radial, MICHELINAnakee III and Anakee Wild*

*The Anakee III line-up exists in both cross-ply and radialversions.

In 1994, Michelin introduced two-compound tires in GP500 racing.The rubber in the center o the tread was hard in order to withstandsudden accelerations and braking and sot on the shoulders to deli-ver more grip when leaning.

In 2013, Michelin urther enhanced this technology with the new2CT+ version, which eatured hard rubber under the sot compoundon the shoulder. The result was greater rigidity when leaning and

enhanced stability at angles, especially when accelerating sharply.

2005 : the frst racing tire made with 2CT technology and certifedor road use was launched: the MICHELIN Power Race.

2013 : 2CT+ technology has been integrated into the rear tires in theMICHELIN Pilot Power3 and Power SuperSport ranges.

A close- loo at six leain-eeMichelin technoloies

In 2011, Michelin simultaneously brought to market the MICHELIN Pilot Road3 and MICHELIN City Grip range.Integrating patented sipes that broke through surace water, these tires delivered superior grip on wet roads.

For its radial tires, Michelin has developed a highlyrigid, zero-degree aramid fber belt that reinorcesthe casing when it is subject to centriugal orce,thus maintaining its shape at all speeds. The aramidfbers used in Michelin tires are just as rigid as steelfbers yet weigh fve times less.

2013 : all tires in the MICHELIN Pilot Power 3 andPower SuperSport line-ups have been certifed

or use at speeds o up to 320 km/h.

Michelin has developed casing layers made withHigh Modulus Low Shrinkage polyester thatcombines two seemingly contradictory eatures:

- High rigidity and breaking strength or unpa-ralleled perormance.

- Flexible compression or enhanced absorp-tion capacity, on bumps and when braking.

In 1992, Michelin tested its frst silica-based tiresin GP500 racing. The compound delivered supe-rior grip on cold, damp or wet suraces whilemaintaining the tires wear-resistance qualities.

1999 : the frst 100% silica street tire was pro-duced: the MICHELIN Pilot Sport.

The new MICHELIN Power SuperSport delivers excellentgrip thanks to racing compounds integrated in the tread.

It integrates the new 2 CT+ technology that uses a sotcompound on the shoulders and a harder rubber on thetread as well as another hard compound under the sotrubber on the shoulders. The result is greater rigidity

when leaning and enhanced stability at angles, especiallywhen accelerating sharply.

The riding enjoyment provided by the tire comes romits grip, which takes handling ability to an unprece-dented level.

The tires exceptional grip and handling are the resulto a new profle and a rubber compound that integratesthe innovative 2CT+ technology combining sot andhard rubber and that is perectly adapted to the require-ments o sport bikes and roadsters (see technical detailson page 8).

The MICHELIN Pilot Power 3 delivers maximum grip onwet suraces as well as the best braking perormance inits category*.

It also provides users with 20% more mileage than theMICHELIN Pilot Power 2CT, already the category bench-mark**.

an o-oa ie.

In 2013, 80% o all BMW R 1200GS bikes will be ftted with thetire as original equipment, making

Michelin the manuacturers mainpartner or the new model. The per-

ormance and multipurpose nature o the MICHELINAnakee III is reected in its ability to meet BMWsextremely demanding specifcations. To achieve thisresult, BMW and Michelin worked together to co-de-velop the tire, which required both partners to renewtheir respective product lineups. The new BMW R1200 GS was entirely revamped rom the engine (withits liquid cooling system) to the tire sizes (120/70 R19or the ront wheel and 170/60 R17 or the rear).

The new MICHELIN Anakee III represents a technologi-cal breakthrough compared with the previous-gene-ration tire. Thanks to the close cooperation betweenthe motorcycle manuacturer and the tiremaker, the

two products are perectly aligned And the act thatthe MICHELIN Anakee III has been selected to equipmost models o the motorcycle that is recognized asthe standard-setter in its category serves to reafrmMichelins technological leadership and ability tomeet the expectations o the most demanding users.

The new tire was designed or on-road use 90% othe time and o-road use the remaining 10%. As aresult, it is slightly more o a road tire than its prede-cessor even though it has lost none o its recognizedability to negotiate trails. The void ratio o the treadhas been reduced rom 30% to 20%.

Saety, high mileage and riding enjoyment top thelist o design specs. The new MICHELIN Anakee IIIinnovates with its unique tread pattern, developedthrough Michelins technological expertise. Featuringbevel-cut central sipes, the tread delivers improvedlateral grip. Thanks to its integration o silica, theMICHELIN Anakee III rear tire lasts 20%* lone thana competing premium brand tire.In addition, the silica helps to improve wet grip. Thenew tread design makes or regular wear, while de-livering a lively response and consistent behavior as

the kilometers roll by, or greater saety and a moreenjoyable ride.In short, the new MICHELIN Anakee III means an agile,yet stable ride even with a passenger and luggage(thanks to its rigid casing), precision cornering evenat high speed**, and excellent braking and corneringresponse. When cornering at a 30 angle, the contactpatch is 10% wider than with the preceding Anakee2 tire, thereby demonstrating Michelins ability to si-multaneously deliver superior perormance in severalareas by using advanced technologies.In addition, the silica helps to improve wet grip. Thenew tread design makes or regular wear, while de-

livering a lively response and consistent behavior asthe kilometers roll by, or greater saety and a more
