The latest trail tyre from Michelin is the Anakee Adventure 2, which has been designed for riders who want good on-road manners but also demand some off-road ability. Michelin says that, compared to its predecessor, there is improved wet grip thanks to a new silica based compound, less road noise, and increased longevity. In fact, the French manufacturer claims a huge 21% improvement in mileage compared to the older Anakee, thanks to the dual-compound technology used. The Anakee Adventure 2 comes in five front sizes from 17-21in, and three 17in diameter rear sizes: 150/70, 170/60 and 180/55. Prices to be confirmed.
