French tyre manufacturer Michelin have just announced two new compounds for Harley Davidson motorcycles that will be available in the Indian market henceforth. The Scorcher tyre range has been developed with Harley and will now finally be available in India via Michelin and Harley dealers.
The Scorcher 31 has been the standard fitment for Harley’s Sportster and Dyna models as well as an accessory fitment for the touring range, worldwide. The tyre has been designed with three key attributes kept in mind – grip, wear resistance and manoeuvrability. The tread design helps in better road holding capabilities and dispensing more water off the road.
On the other hand, the Scorcher 11 is a new radial tyre intended for the Sportster Superlow, XR 1200, V-Rod Muscle and Night Rod Special as well as the Street series. The contact patch has been maximised by the use of a semi-slick tread pattern. The compound features Michelin SRT (Silica Rain Technology) to deliver optimum grip during damp conditions.
