Michelin for5 tyre 700X40C COMPETITION LINE GUM-X TS TLR folding (black)

MICHELIN Pro5 Black 700 × 40C tyre – Competition Line, Kevlar, GUM-X, TS, TLR (507201)

The MICHELIN Pro5 Black 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 excellent combination of efficient rolling, grip, stability and high ride comfort.

The Pro5 model is ideal for cyclists looking for a fast, reliable and comfortable road tyre for regular sporty use. The wider 700 × 40C version will be appreciated above all by riders who do long routes, often ride on poorer asphalt or want to increase the comfort of their road or endurance bike.

The MICHELIN GUM-X rubber compound has been developed with an emphasis on a balanced ratio of low rolling resistance, grip and durability. It supports smooth rolling on asphalt roads and secure contact with the road when accelerating, braking and cornering. The tyre thus provides the necessary control in dynamic sporty riding and on long endurance routes.

Tubeless Ready (TLR) technology allows tubeless installation on a compatible rim using a suitable valve and sealant. The tubeless system helps 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 contribute to better grip, comfort 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 focused on quality construction, efficient rolling and precise ride characteristics. It is suited to cyclists who require good performance, reliability and comfort in regular use.

The Black version features an elegant all-black finish that underlines the sporty character of the bike. The black sidewalls give the tyre a modern and universal look suited to road and endurance bikes alike.

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 scope for adapting the pressure to specific riding conditions.
