CLERMONT FERRAND, France – Michelin has extended its range of All Mountain MTB tyres, the Force AM2 and the Wild AM2, which are part of its Competition Line and designed to meet the expectations on all types of terrain.
The rubber compounds and casings of both tyres were previously tested in top-level Enduro racing. According to Michelin, “they have been designed to offer the optimal balance between grip, rolling efficiency, longevity, weight and damage resistance. The dual-compound Gum-X Technology features a harder centre area for optimum rolling efficiency and tyre life, combined with softer rubber on the shoulders for cornering grip. The Gravity Shield Technology casing uses a bead-to-bead high density fibre for increased resistance to impact damage, sidewall cuts and punctures, coupled with a 3x60TPI casing ply for stiffness and stability, while still maintaining good comfort levels.”
Both tyres will be available to fit 27.5 and 29-inch rims, and each rim size will be available in two widths: 2.40 and 2.60 to suit today’s All Mountain, Trail and longer travel XC bikes.
The Wild AM2 has been designed for mixed to soft terrain where its more aggressive tread pattern ensures high levels of grip, but with a reduced focus on rolling efficiency. Tall centre blocks are inspired by those found on the DH34 and offer a maximum of ground penetration during braking for good stability and transfer of braking forces in soft conditions. The shoulder blocks are again inspired by the DH22 but are modified to increase bite in soft conditions for increased grip, stability and progressive handling in these difficult conditions.

Riding characteristics
The Force AM2 is optimised for hard-pack and mixed terrain. It has a directional tread pattern designed for excellent rolling efficiency and high grip levels under braking and in corners. The tread features elongated centre blocks for reduced rolling resistance and less ground penetration, but with numerous block edges for braking grip and traction. The shoulder blocks are inspired by Michelin’s DH22 tyre and these ensure grip and stability in corners, along with handling characteristics. In addition, an optimised ratio between tread blocks and grooves helps maintain momentum on flowing trails.The Wild AM2 has been designed for mixed to soft terrain where its more aggressive tread pattern ensures high levels of grip, but with a reduced focus on rolling efficiency.
