The Michelin Trial X Light front motorcycle tire is engineered for trials riding, technical terrain, and demanding off-road conditions. Developed using technology refined through more than 25 World Championships, this 80/100-21 tire delivers precise steering, sensitive handling, and dependable traction across loose soil, rocks, obstacles, and varied trail surfaces. The bias-ply construction provides a balanced combination of flexibility, control, and durability for riders who require predictable performance at low speeds and in technical sections.
The updated casing design improves lateral stability in corners compared with earlier Michelin trials tires, while the Maximized Contact Patch casing increases surface contact for enhanced grip on loose terrain and while cornering. A more flexible tread area conforms effectively to obstacles and rocks, helping maintain traction where consistent tire contact is essential. Supple casing materials and optimized rubber compounds also support shock absorption and controlled handling over rough ground.
Designed for use with low air-pressure settings, the redesigned bead area increases sidewall rigidity and helps reduce tire movement on the rim, even when running very low pressure. This front tire uses a bias design and is intended for compatible trials motorcycles requiring an 80/100-21 tube-type front tire. Verify motorcycle fitment, wheel size, load requirements, and manufacturer recommendations before installation. This Michelin tire is identified by manufacturer part number 22827 and vendor part number 22827.
