This guide is for supermoto riders seeking peak performance in wet conditions. The MICHELIN Power SuperMoto RAIN tyre offers outstanding handling, grip, and precise feedback, developed with world-class riders. A caveat is its specialized nature, primarily for track or competitive use in rain, and its NHS (Not for Highway Service) rating means it's not street-legal.

NHS stands for 'Not for Highway Service'. This means the tyre is designed and intended for competition or racing purposes only on closed circuits and is not legal for use on public roads.
While the tyre offers good performance, its specialized RAIN compound is optimized for wet conditions. For best performance in dry weather, a different compound or tyre model might be more suitable.
The RAIN compound is specifically formulated with softer rubber and a tread pattern designed to maximize grip and water displacement in wet or damp conditions, providing superior traction and stability.
You must check your motorcycle's specifications. This tyre is designed for 16.5-inch rims commonly found on specific supermoto racing applications. Using it on an incorrect rim size can be dangerous.
For optimal performance and safety, check tyre pressure before every riding session. Pressure can fluctuate with temperature changes.
Tyre lifespan varies greatly depending on riding style, track conditions, and maintenance. However, tyres developed with competition compounds are designed for performance, and wear rate can be higher than street-focused tyres.
Check for punctures, ensure the valve stem is secure, and verify the bead seal with the rim. Re-inflate to recommended pressure.
Ensure the tyre is the correct RAIN compound and that it is clean. Water on the track might be contaminated with oil or debris, reducing natural grip.
Check wheel alignment, suspension settings, and ensure proper tyre pressure is maintained. Consider if riding style is excessively aggressive on one side.
Setup: This is a tubeless (TL) tyre designed for the front wheel of supermoto motorcycles. Ensure it is fitted by a professional to the correct rim size (16.5 inches) and compatible with the motorcycle's specifications. Due to its NHS (Not for Highway Service) rating, it is strictly for competition use on closed circuits and is not legal for road use.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for supermoto motorcycles. Always confirm fitment with your motorcycle's manufacturer specifications to ensure correct size (120/75 R16.5) and load/speed rating compatibility.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, regularly inspect the tyre for wear, damage, and proper inflation. Clean the tyre with a mild soap and water solution if necessary, avoiding harsh chemicals. Store the motorcycle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prolong tyre life.
