New generation Michelin S12 & M12 XC

New generation Michelin S12 & M12 XC off-road tyres give even better performance and durability on intermediate and hard terrain

The new Michelin S12 & M12 XC off-road tyres, developed from Michelin's experience in the Motocross World Championships, are a ticket to an even better off-road ride, being an improved version of the already excellent Michelin market-leading tyres.

Every aspect of the Michelin S12 & M12 XC tyres have been designed to maximise traction. Now a new rear rubber mixture improves durability by at least 25% compared with previous versions. Redesigned casing construction helps improve traction, feedback and feel, and speeds warm-up time. Available in the new S12 XC tyre, which is highly versatile and excels in a variety of terrain, and the new M12 XC tyre, which is ideal for intermediate terrain - the S12 & M12 XC make going off-road even better.

Two Great Tyres Made Even Better: S12 XC & M12 XC Features

* Reformulated rubber mixture improves durability by at least 25%

* Improved grip thanks to new rear tread compound and changes in casing design.

* Redesigned tyre structure incorporates an additional casing ply under the tread, which helps improve flexibility of the tread area. This in turn improves feedback, traction and warm-up time.

* Thicker sidewalls in the bead area help increase lateral rigidity, further improving feedback and performance.

* Proven, championship-winning tread designs remain unchanged from original S12 and M12 tyres

* Larger contact patch for better traction

* Stiffer sidewalls for better cornering stability
