Michelin Anakee Adventure 2170/60 R17 M/C 72V TL/TT Rear Tyre

The Michelin Anakee Adventure 2 170/60 R17 M/C 72V TL/TT is a rear adventure motorbike tyre suitable for those predominantly riding on paved roads with the occasional gravel road or light off-road trek on the side. It's in Dual Sport category and offers the road comfort of a highway tyre with the versatility needed for adventure touring. Michelin classifies the Anakee Adventure 2 as an M+S Adventure tyre and sets out the range for both road and trail riding. This rear tyre employs a 170/60 R17 construction, 72 being the load index and V the speed rating. The 170 value indicates the nominal section width of the tyre in millimetres, 60 is the aspect ratio and R stands for radial. The 17 identifies the wheel diameter, and the 72V is the load and speed rating that has been set for this particular size. As such, riders will always need to check that these figures tie up with a manufacturer's specification for their motorcycle before fitting. This is the exact specification highlighted by Michelin for the rear. It is designed for the adventurous motorcyclist looking for the balance between the practicality of everyday riding, touring and the occasional off-road outing. The optimised tread design is set to reduce the perceived road noise, while Michelin's technology is said to contribute to the handling, wet-road grip and durability. According to Michelin the Anakee Adventure 2 features new silica-based compounds and MICHELIN 2CT technology that has seen Michelin's internal testing report a 14% improvement in durability against the previous Anakee Adventure and a 10% improvement in wet-grip against the same model on a BMW R 1250 GS. In an internal noise test performed on a BMW R 1300 GS it was found that there was a 30% reduction in perceived noise against the previous model. As such figures are sourced from internal tests on a defined model, these should not be regarded as a guarantee for all bikes and riders. Depending on the approved size, load rating, speed rating, wheel specification and manufacturer recommendations for a given motorcycle, there are a number of 170/60 R17 rear size tyres across a variety of adventure and trail motorcycles. It goes without saying that a rider must always check a specific motorcycle's fitment information rather than deduce compatibility from the tyre size alone. Michelin's own vehicle and size selector should be used when looking to find a fitment for a particular motorcycle. Looking to buy Michelin Anakee Adventure 2 170/60 R17 M/C 72V online in India?
