- Michelin Power RS – 200/55 ZR17 (78W) Michelin Adaptive Casing Technology Racing heritage Accurate feedback through turns Optimises exerted pressure on contact patch Michelin never work on one isolated element of performance. Instead, they focus on the whole package: safety, durability and the thrill of riding… all at the same time and with no trade-offs. That’s what they mean by Michelin Total Performance. The Michelin Power RS’s racing bred compounds provide excellent grip and a unique experience for riders. The front tyre’s race breeding optimises the steering force required to lean and gives accurate feedback through turns. The rear tyre has been engineered to optimise the pressure exerted on the contact patch. Michelin’s patented Adaptive Casing Technology+ (MICHELIN ACT+) delivers on the brand’s Total Performance promise to ensure enhanced straight-line and cornering stability. The use of a single ply means a less rigid crown, while the shoulders are stiffened by folding the ply over itself. The factors that determine a motorcycle tyre’s sporty credentials include grip and manoeuvrability, as well as handling during changes of lean angle, under braking and when accelerating hard. MICHELIN came out on top according to a series of tests carried out by the Motorrad Test Center in October 2016 at Boxberg and Neuhausen tracks (Germany) using a BMW S1000RR equipped with 120/70ZR17 and 190/55ZR17 tyres, comparing the Michelin Power RS with the following competitor tyres: Pirelli Diablo Rosso 3, Dunlop Sportsmart 2, Continental Sportattack III, Bridgestone S21, Metzeler M7 RR.

Michelin Power RS – 200/55 ZR17 (78W) Review
The best reviews that we can read are those from actual customers. Whilst the expert or magazine reviews are great, they don’t tend to give you as much information as a whole load of customers that have tried and used the product for a much longer period and in different circumstances. For example if you were looking to buy a waterproof bike jacket, you want to read reviews from customers that have worn it for a year and can give you the honest opinion on how waterproof it is after a year. Likewise you want to know that products like Michelin Power RS – 200/55 ZR17 (78W) live up to the manufacturer and shop descriptions. We scored Michelin Power RS – 200/55 ZR17 (78W) 8.8 out of 10, and customers at SportsBikeShop scored it out of 5, thanks to the not yet rated customer reviews.
There are of course many factors that can affect the review score of a product, which can vary from the perception of the brand or product right through to the actual usability, quality and price. One of our best pieces of advice when you’re shopping for products in the null category, or any null products for that matter, is to consider reading plenty of the detailed customer reviews before you buy. Often the review score can help you to make a quick judgement as to how good a product is, but to really get to know if it’s right for you, you need to read lots of the reviews to find out what users are saying about it, good and bad.

Price was the other factor that we mentioned, and that has become increasingly important when we are buying products online, regardless if its motorbike kit or a toothbrush, we want to get a good deal. So be sure to shop around but it’s important that you buy from a retailer that you can trust. As a guide you should expect to be paying roughly £167.11 for Michelin Power RS – 200/55 ZR17 (78W) as that is the RRP price. SportsBikeShop sell it at £167.11 at the moment which is great. Anything massively under this should raise alarm bells, especially as SportsBikeShop offer a price match promise.
