Michelin’s yellow and black chequered Racing Line sidewall logos have adorned plenty of race-winning bikes in the gravity sector, not least when Sam Hill dominated enduro for a few seasons and won three EWS titles on the trot.
Its MTB tires are obviously capable of winning, but the lairy graphics weren’t such a victory for everyone, so it’s welcome that Michelin now offers its top-tier gravity models in a much more subtle gray colorway as well. Changing color is the least of the changes to the new Wild Enduro range though, as there is now a whole new construction, tread and rubber compound on three different versions. MS (Mixed/Soft) and MH (Mixed/Hard) are primarily designed as front tires and there’s also a specific rear tread. The trio are now lighter weight, faster rolling and designed to work better in colder conditions.
