Michelin Launches its New Anakee Wild Dual-Sport Tire  ADV Bikes get a new 50/50 dual sport tire option with radial technology.

Michelin has announced the launch of its newest motorcycle tire — Michelin Anakee Wild — in markets around the world. The Anakee Wild is a knobby-style radial tire intended for larger adventure bikes that travel both on- and off-road.

Initially the tire will launch with four radial sizes, including those equipping what Michelin considers the “flagship” bike in this category, the BMW R1200GS. Additional sizes will enter the market during the year, thus covering most of the adventure bikes available.

The new Anakee Wild is aimed at riders who want to break away from paved roads and fully exploit the potential of bikes designed for roads or the most uneven, sandy, stony and muddy tracks. The tire was designed to adapt to all terrain types and situations, as well as the most varied climates. The mission of the development engineers was to combine three performance characteristics: on-road stability and comfort; resistance to overheating and wear; and increased wet-road and off-road traction.

Michelin Anakee Wild dual sport tires are packed with technology.

The new Michelin Anakee Wild achieves these goals through the new tread composition, optimized tread depth and the innovative design of the tread blocks, which was inspired by those used on Michelin Desert Tires that won the Paris-Dakar Rally 33 times. Additionally, the tire is the first radial made available on four different sizes of knobby tires.

Understanding the wide range of uses in the adventure-touring segment throughout the world enabled Michelin to design its tire ranges, which now include the new Anakee Wild. As a result, an adventure bike can now be fitted with three different Michelin tires, each adapted to a specific consumer use.

Michelin now offers a complete line of tires for all types of Adventure Touring.
