MICHELIN Pro5 Classic 700 × 40C tyre – Competition Line, Kevlar, GUM-X, TS, TLR (238952)

The MICHELIN Pro5 Classic Competition Line is a high-performance road cycling tyre designed for sporty riding, endurance cycling and long training rides. Thanks to modern Tubeless Ready (TLR) technology, the MICHELIN GUM-X rubber compound, folding Kevlar bead and wide 40 mm profile, it offers an attractive combination of efficient rolling, grip, stability and high ride comfort.

The Pro5 model is intended for cyclists looking for a fast and comfortable tyre for regular sporty use. The 700 × 40C version is suited especially to bikes with sufficient frame and fork clearance, whose owners want to combine brisk road riding with better damping of bumps and greater confidence on poorer roads.

The MICHELIN GUM-X rubber compound is focused on a balanced ratio of low rolling resistance, grip and durability. It supports smooth rolling on asphalt and provides secure contact with the road when accelerating, braking and cornering. The tyre is therefore suited to brisk sporty riding as well as long endurance routes.

Tubeless Ready (TLR) technology allows tubeless installation on a compatible rim using a suitable valve and sealant. The tubeless system can reduce the risk of some flats, especially small punctures, and makes it possible to adapt the pressure to rider weight, rim width and the character of the surface. Correctly set pressure can improve comfort, grip and riding efficiency.

The folding Kevlar bead contributes to lower weight compared with ordinary wire versions and makes handling, transport and storage of the tyre easier. It also allows reliable seating on a compatible rim.

The Competition Line product line is a sports-oriented version that emphasises quality construction, efficient transfer of energy and precise bike handling. It is suited to cyclists who require good ride characteristics in regular and intensive use.

The Classic version stands out with the classic look of its sidewalls, which gives the bike an elegant and timeless character. It joins a modern technological solution with traditional sporty design.

A distinctive advantage is the size 700 × 40C, which provides a large air volume and allows more comfortable riding on uneven asphalt. A width of 40 mm helps damp vibration and small shocks, supports stable contact with the road and increases comfort especially on long routes. Compared with narrower road tyres it offers more room for adapting the pressure to specific riding conditions.
