Michelin Pilot Power

Post by angry mike »

Hi, i'm looking into getting a set of these hoops for my 2005 zx636r, i've read articles about them but i need some better feedback from people who have used and abused them.
please chime in if you've had them.

thanks...

got a mate who rates the 2ct's very very highly. Not as good as the pirelli diablo but for genral riding he said there better.

hey i have just had the duel compound ones fitted as advised by the boys at home.. and i must admit.. thought michelin suggest only for heavy bikes.. they are fantastic for the zxr400.. i love them... never been more confident on bike than i am now.. they are really really sticky on the sides..but after going from the bridgstones.. its like a new bike.. i did have to ajust my seating postion because if you slightly off centre when you wnat to go straight... it sticks a bit too well and wants to drop like its in a corner.. but after a bit of shuffling.. im well happy... even the rain aint stopping me now!!

get them mate.. there worth the 220 squid
