As with all our big tests, it makes sense to have a high-performing, confidence-inspiring tyre fitted to each of the bikes in question. That's why we kitted out our six contestants with Michelin's fantastic Power 6 rubber.

The tech

Designed primarily for those who like to pull the pin on the roads, the Power 6 is a fantastic sparring partner for street bike riders of all types and sizes. It features a dual compound on both the front and rear tyres, with soft edges for better grip, while the centre section is more durable and designed to go the distance.
