The Michelin Road Classic 150/70 B17 M/C 69V TL is a rear motorcycle tyre suitable for riders of classic, retro and modern-classic motorcycles seeking a contemporary road-tyre technology wrapped in a traditionally styled body. Categorised by Michelin as Touring/Custom application, the 150/70 B17 rear tyre features a bias-belted construction which pairs with Michelin Silica Technology to deliver a balance of wet-road grip, cornering and straight-line stability. At a 150/70 B17 specification, the 150 mm nominal section width, 70-profile ratio and 17-inch rim diameter is specified. The 69 load index indicates a 325 kg maximum-load rating while the V speed rating is rated to 240 km/h, subject to the motorcycle manufacturer's specifications and operating conditions. TL means tubeless, which makes this version suitable for compatible tubeless wheel applications. The construction is bias-belted and not radial, with the addition of Michelin's Bias Belted Technology adding extra plies for stability at speed. To riders asking what they get from this tyre, the biggest benefits are predictable road manners, wet-weather grip and improved stability on cornering and straight-line riding. Michelin states that its silica compound technology combined with a 26% void ratio offers 50% more wet grip than the previous generation, while its bias-belted construction offers 50% more cornering stability and 40% more straight-line stability versus the previous generation. However, these are in-house comparisons, so actual results have shown to vary based on the motorcycle, road surfaces, tire pressures, riding styles and conditions.
