The Michelin Road Classic front motorcycle tire combines classic styling with modern performance for riders who want dependable handling, wet-weather traction, and improved stability. Manufactured by Michelin and identified by manufacturer and vendor part number 72110, this bias-ply tire is designed for select standard and classic motorcycles, including approved fitments such as the Triumph Bonneville T100 and Triumph Street Twin. The 110/80B17 size and 57V speed rating support confident everyday riding and spirited road use.
Michelin Silica Rain Technology™ uses a specialized compound to enhance grip on wet roads. Combined with a 26% void ratio, the Road Classic delivers improved water evacuation and wet handling compared with the previous-generation Michelin Pilot Activ tire. Michelin testing reported faster average wet-lap performance under controlled conditions, although actual results may vary based on motorcycle setup, rider input, weather, road surface, and tire condition.
The tire’s bias-ply construction and bias casing are reinforced by two crown plies to help provide balanced handling and predictable feedback. Michelin reports improved cornering and straight-line stability over the previous generation, making the Road Classic a practical choice for riders seeking a comfortable, composed front tire with traditional motorcycle appeal. Always verify the approved fitment, load requirements, wheel compatibility, and manufacturer recommendations for your motorcycle before installation. Professional mounting and balancing are recommended.
