Michelin sustainable slicks

The new 2023 control Michelin slicks for the MotoE series have a lot of recycled and sustainable material in them – 34% in the front hoop and 52% in the rear. The recycled material is scrap steel for the cords and used car and truck tyre rubber, while the sustainable material includes natural latex rubber, sunflower oil, pine resin and – amazingly enough – orange and lemon peel. It’s part of the firm’s plan to make its entire production sustainable by 2050.
