Michelin says its new trio of downhill tires are the grippiest it's ever made, so could they stick to the trails better than Maxxis MaxxGrip?

Close up on the Michelin DH22 tire.

Fresh from the announcement that Michelin is the new partner brand of the Whoop UCI Mountain Bike World Series, the French tire giant has launched a comprehensive revision of its downhill range. The new tires build upon what Michelin says is the success and experience of working alongside its partner teams in the UCI Downhill World Cup.

The new downhill range is also part of a wider gravity revamp that includes the brand-new Wild Enduro Racing Line tire and the e-MTB-specific Michelin E-Wild tire, as the brand sets its sights on being the leading manufacturer in the best mountain bike tire market.
