Michelin is going colourful: customers can choose their tyres from nine colours and, thanks to the cooperation with Ambrosio, adapt the handlebars accordingly.
Good news for optics tuners: Michelin's top tyre "Pro3 Race" is now available in nine different colours, Ambrosio manufactures the colour-matching handlebar tape. The French tyre runs smoothly and is puncture-proof; Michelin is only not at the top in terms of wet grip (TOUR-Test 08/2008). The tyre sits very tightly and can only be balanced on the rim with mounting levers. The Ambrosio handlebar tape is a little short, so it can be tight when wrapping oversize handlebars.
PLUS: wide range of colours; technically good tyre
MINUS: Handlebar tape a little short
