Michelin brings its century-plus tyre expertise straight to your ride. From electric Mountain Bikes to rugged Enduro terrain Michelin’s innovation means grip, durability and real value in every kilometre.
Grip that holds in mud, toughness that resists thorns, protection that saves your ride – that’s what riding Michelin means for the everyday trail seeker.
The Michelin Story
Founded in France in 1889 Michelin began by inventing the removable pneumatic tyre and went on to pioneer the radial tyre among many other breakthroughs. Over its 130-plus years Michelin has refined rubber, tread design and casing technology in motorsport, road racing and off-road competition.
That know-how has filtered down into their mountain bike range with better compounds, tougher sidewalls and designs proven by world cup racers—so your tyres work harder and last longer on New Zealand's trails without costing a fortune.

Why Ride Michelin?
- Racing-line compounds for real grip: Michelin’s Magi-X and Gum-X rubbers are engineered for wet grip, cornering control and long tyre life even in cold or mixed trail conditions.
- Strong, durable casings: Bead-to-bead shields and double-ply or high thread-per-inch carcasses resist damage, help protect against punctures and maintain shape under pressure.
- Balance of rolling efficiency and traction: Treads combine wide-spaced centre knobs for speed with shoulder blocks for grip when leaning. You get both momentum on climbs and control on descents.
- E-Mountain Bike optimised: Michelin’s E-Wild lines include protection and tread patterns built for motor torque, low pressures and the longer demands of electrically assisted riding.
