Michelin add Pilot SX and Pilot SX Slick to BMX racing tyres range
Michelin has announced the launch of two new BMX racing tyres, the MICHELIN Pilot SX and Pilot SX Slick. These performance tyres form part of the brand’s Racing Line range of rubber and are targeted at competitive racers and riders.
The Pilot SX features a tread pattern intended for racing on soft tracks or in autumn and winter conditions, while the Pilot SX Slick features a marked and very shallow tread pattern which is suitable for racing on hard tracks, or in spring and summer conditions.
Both tyres are tubeless ready (TLR) to reduce weight and improve rolling resistance by around 15 to 25 percent compared to the same tyre running with an inner tube. However, as with all Michelin TLR bicycle tyres, the BMX Racing Line tyres can also be used with inner tubes. Both models feature a robust three layer 60 TPI casing to resist damage, improve durability and cope with tyre pressures of up to 5 bars/72psi.

- SRP £44.99 SX / £47.99 SX Slick
