Now available worldwide, the Anakee Adventure 2 becomes the new flagship tire of Michelin’s Adventure Touring range.
Engineered mainly for on-road use with off-road capability, it is constructed using new silica-based compounds that give improved grip in wet, muddy or snowy conditions. The lifespan of the tire is increased by seven percent at the front and 21 percent at the rear, according to tests done by Michelin. Its new tread design is optimized for a balance between road comfort, with less noise and a smoother ride, and traction on loose surfaces.
