The Michelin Pilot Power 2CT rear motorcycle tire is designed for sport and performance-focused riding. Built with Michelin 2CT technology, the tread surface uses three distinct areas with two rubber compounds to balance durability, grip, and cornering confidence. The harder center compound supports consistent wear during acceleration and straight-line riding, while the softer shoulder compounds help provide traction when the motorcycle is leaned into turns.
Designed to fit motorcycles requiring a 160/60ZR17 rear tire, this Michelin tire carries a (W) speed rating for speeds of 168 mph and above when properly used with a compatible motorcycle and within applicable operating conditions. Its sport-oriented construction makes it suitable for riders seeking responsive handling and dependable performance on paved roads, including spirited street riding and track-focused applications where the fitment requirements are met.
Michelin manufactures the Pilot Power 2CT with a focus on predictable handling and performance throughout the tread. Confirm that your motorcycle accepts the 160/60ZR17 size, the 69W load and speed designation, and the required rear-tire specifications before installation. This product is identified by Michelin manufacturer part number 01981 and vendor part number 01981.
