MICHELIN Pilot Pump 26 × 2.10 tyre – Competition Line, Kevlar, TS, TLR (240158)

The MICHELIN Pilot Pump 26 × 2.10 Competition Line is a sports bicycle tyre intended mainly for pump track, BMX and dynamic riding on paved tracks. Thanks to the size 26 × 2.10", folding Kevlar bead and Tubeless Ready (TLR) technology, it is an interesting choice for riders looking for precise bike control, good grip and efficient transfer of energy while riding.

The Pilot Pump model focuses on the specific demands of pump track riding, where quick changes of direction, smooth riding through banked corners and efficiently maintaining speed through body movement play an important role. The tyre is suitable for sporty riders and enthusiasts who regularly visit pump tracks.

Construction for pump track and dynamic riding

When riding a pump track, the combination of stability, quick steering response and good contact with the surface is important. The MICHELIN Pilot Pump is designed for this type of sporting use and helps the rider keep control of the bike through corners, over rollers and in other dynamic manoeuvres.

The tyre works best on the smoother and firm surfaces typical of pump tracks. Riders will appreciate its sporty character when practising technique and when riding briskly through individual sections.

Size 26 × 2.10" for precise control

A width of 2.10" offers a balanced ratio of stability, handling and ride response. It provides sufficient air volume to damp small bumps while retaining a sporty character suited to quick changes of direction.

A diameter of 26 inches is popular on some pump track, dirt jump and freestyle bikes. This makes the tyre suitable for riders who use bikes with smaller rim diameters and require agile behaviour in technical riding.

Tubeless Ready – tubeless operation possible

Tubeless Ready (TLR) technology allows the tyre to be fitted without a conventional inner tube, using a compatible rim, tubeless tape, valve and sealant.

The tubeless version makes it possible to adapt the pressure to specific conditions within the recommended limits. Correctly chosen pressure can contribute to better contact with the surface and more confident bike handling. The sealant can also seal some small punctures.

Folding Kevlar bead

The folding Kevlar bead makes handling, transport and storage of the tyre easier. Compared with ordinary wire versions it generally contributes to lower weight, which is advantageous especially on sport-oriented bikes.

The folding design is also practical during servicing or when carrying a spare tyre.

Competition Line – sporty focus

Inclusion in the MICHELIN Competition Line product line underlines the emphasis on sporting use and quality ride characteristics. The Pilot Pump model is suitable for riders looking for specialised tyres for pump track and similar disciplines, where precision, handling and reliable contact with the track are important.
