The MICHELIN Road Classic rear motorcycle tire is designed for riders who want modern performance and dependable handling from a classic or retro-style motorcycle. This 150/70R17 69H bias-ply tubeless tire combines traditional motorcycle styling with updated tire technology for confident everyday riding. Manufactured by MICHELIN and supplied under vendor part number 26863, it is engineered for compatible rear-wheel applications requiring this size and load and speed rating.
Built with MICHELIN Silica Rain Technology (SRT), the Road Classic uses a specialized compound designed to enhance wet-weather grip. Its tread design and 26% void ratio help channel water away from the contact patch, delivering up to 50% more wet grip than the previous-generation tire under the manufacturer’s stated test conditions. The result is improved rider confidence during damp commutes, touring, and changing road conditions.
The tire’s bias-ply construction uses a supported bias casing with two crown plies to improve handling stability. Compared with the previous generation, the MICHELIN Road Classic provides up to 50% more cornering stability and 40% more straight-line stability according to manufacturer testing. This rear tire is approved for use on select iconic motorcycles, including compatible Triumph Bonneville and Street Twin models. Always verify motorcycle fitment, clearance, load requirements, and the manufacturer’s recommended tire specifications before installation.
