The MICHELIN Road Classic rear tire is designed for classic and modern-classic motorcycles that require dependable handling, wet-weather traction, and a traditional bias-ply construction. This 130/70B17 tire features a 62H load and speed rating, tubeless construction, and a classic tread design suited to iconic motorcycles. Manufacturer part number 65232 and vendor part number 65232 identify this MICHELIN replacement tire.
Built with MICHELIN Silica Rain Technology (SRT), the Road Classic compound is engineered to provide up to 50% more wet grip than the previous generation. Its 26% void ratio helps channel water away from the contact patch, supporting confident traction on wet roads while preserving the familiar appearance expected from a classic motorcycle tire.
The bias-ply technology and bias casing are reinforced by two crown plies to improve stability during everyday riding. Compared with the previous generation, the MICHELIN Road Classic is engineered to deliver increased cornering stability and straight-line stability, including up to 50% more stability when cornering and 40% more stability in a straight line. The tire has also received technical approval for select iconic Triumph motorcycles, including Bonneville and Street Twin models, subject to the motorcycle manufacturer’s fitment requirements.
Verify the 130/70B17 62H specification, wheel compatibility, and motorcycle manufacturer recommendations before installation. Professional installation and balancing are recommended.
