2025 Sport and Hypersport Motorcycle Tire Test

4th of 12 tires

• The Michelin Power GP2 falls into the hypersport category but functions as a bridge between sport and hypersport tires. It remains stable in all situations, offers precise tracking, excellent handling, and outstanding feedback. The GP2 delivers quick lap times despite requiring a relatively short warm-up phase compared to other hypersport tires. In wet conditions, it proved to be the best-performing hypersport tire in the test, securing the best wet handling score in its class and the second-best wet lap time overall. Testers highlighted it as the "insider tip" for riders wanting a comprehensive all-season package from race track to cool, wet weather. Its only notable weakness is a somewhat abrupt loss of grip when pushed to the absolute limit.
