Kebiasannya ‘rear fender’ bukan sahaja bertindak sebagai mudguard tambahan motosikal malah sebagai pemegang nombor plat.

Meskipun bukan semua motosikal dilengkapi dengan ‘rear fender’ namun penggunaan alat itu semakin mendapat tempatn.

Bagaimanapun, pengeluar tayar, Michelin, melihat ‘rear fender’ mempunyai potensi untuk dibangunkan sebagai penggerak tayar belakang tambahan yang boleh membantu sewaktu motosikal sedang bergerak perlahan termasuk sewaktu mengundur.

Berdasarkan dokumen yang dipatenkan, ‘rear fender’ tersebut mempunyai beberapa ‘roller’ tersembunyi di bahagian dalam dan dikuasakan dengan motor kecil.

Komponen tersebut boleh diaktifkan dengan menghidupakan butang yang terletak di handlebar yang akan memutarkan tayar kedepan mahupun kebelakang.

Paten itu merujuk komponen tersebut sebagai motor 3.6V DC yang mampu menjana 2 hingga 4Nm dengan Michelin mendakwa kuasa itu cukup untuk menggerakan motosikal dengan kelajuan 1km/j.

Apa yang pasti, ciri ini sangat membantu ketika jentera (terutamanya yang berat) berada di kawasan berbukit atau di ruang sempit.

Pada masa sama, ‘rear fender’ oleh Michelin ini juga boleh dipasang hampir pada semua model yang mengguna pakai swingarm konvensional.

Walaupun paten ini tidak semestinya membawa kepada peringkat pengeluaran namun menarik untuk mengetahui para jurutera di Michelin bukan sekadar memfokuskan pada pembangunan tayar semata-mata.

Michelin has brought in four new motorcycle tyres for the Malaysian market from the latest ‘Power’ family. The four new Michelin Power products are the Power 5, Power GP, Power Cup 2 and the sweet, sweet Power Slick 2. Should be some great fun around Sepang Circuit, eh? (more…)

  • Michelin Pilot Street 2 is designed for scooters and small displacement motorcycles.

  • Rim sizes start from 10-inches though 14-, 16- and finally 17-inch.

  • It has superior wet and dry performance.

We’ve always said that what MotoGP teams use differ from what you and I can obtain for everyday riding. However, the gap has closed between “unobtanium” in MotoGP and what’s available to the general public. One of it is tyre technology, as these Michelin Pilot Street 2 can attest to.

It’s been two years since Michelin’s return to supplying the MotoGP teams and you can be that they’ve learned much since then. But also remember that Michelin used to supply tyres in MotoGP way before the other brands before dropping out for a few years. The company have also been around since 1889, exactly 130 years ago.

The Michelin Pilot Street 2 is designed for scooters and small displacement motorcycles. As such, rim sizes start from 10-inches though 14-, 16- and finally 17-inches.

These new tyres were designed to perform on both dry and wet roads.

To achieve this:

  • The front tyre features a circumferential groove to aid agility, while lateral grooves give good performance on wet roads.
  • The rear tyre’s central grooves optimizes water clearance while providing outstanding grip during the dry.

The tyre’s performance was tested and certified by TÜV Labs at Fontange, France. Equipped with the Michelin Pilot Street 2, the bike lapped the 2-km circuit 4.4 seconds faster than its rivals.

The tyres will be available at TYREPLUS and Michelin authorized dealers. They are offered in 19 sizes.

Bagi setiap individu yang menggunakan motosikal sebagai medium pengangkutan harian, menghadapi cuaca panas terik dan hujan lebat di Malaysia adalah satu cabaran, sekaligus menjadikan pemilihan tayar antara faktor penting bagi menjamin keselamatan.

Memahami cabaran ini, Michelin melancarkan Michelin Pilot Street 2, tayar yang direka khas untuk motosikal jenis skuter dan kapcai yang menggunakan tayar berukuran 10,14, 16 dan 17 inci.

Michelin Pilot Street 2 menawarkan keselamatan tertinggi tak kira di atas permukaan jalan yang kering atau basah sekaligus penunggang motosikal boleh menunggang tanpa perlu rasa bimbang.

Dihasilkan di Asia, rekaan alur dan kompaun tayar telah ditetapkan oleh para jurutera di Pusat Penyelidikan dan Pembangunan Michelin bagi memastikan produk ini benar-benar memenuhi jangkaan pelanggan.

Berikut antara teknologi yang diguna pakai:

  • Bentuk ‘circumferential groove’ tayar hadapan dan ‘lateral shoulder groove’ di  sisi tayar memastikan kestabilan optimum terutamanya di atas permukaan basah.
  • ‘Central groove’ di tayar belakang pula berkemampuan untuk melepaskan air dengan lebih efisien di samping menawarkan cengkaman di atas permukaan kering.

Menariknya, Michelin Pilot Street 2 ini merekodkan masa 4.4 saat lebih pantas berbanding jenama lain di atas litar basah berukuran 1.2 kilometer.

Rekaan keseluruhan juga tampak moden – dengan Michelin dakwa diinspirasikan daripada tayar yang digunakan di MotoGP – sekaligus mampu membuatkan rupa keseluruhan jentera tampak lebih menarik.

Pelanggan yang berminat boleh mendapatkan Michelin Pilot Street 2 bermula hujung September ini namun harga rasmi akan diumumkan dalam masa terdekat.
