What technology does it use in its construction?
The Pilot SX Slick uses Michelin's Standard casing, Standard compound arrangement, constructed with Folding aramid fibre beads. This tubeless ready race rubber reduces weight and rolling resistance by 15-25% compared to running the tyre with an innertube. The triple layer 60TPI carcass delivers impeccable durability and resistance, whilst containing the high pressures typically ran in the race scenario.
What is the intended use?
Designed exclusively for BMX, the Pilot SX Slick performs best on dry hardpack race courses, where speed and momentum is the priority. The shallow tread design and semi slick centre deliver superior rolling efficiency and grip in Spring time and Summer conditions.
Our verdict
An incredibly fast BMX race specific tyre for summer competition, perfect as a pair for optimal speed and ideal on the rear with the grippier Pilot SX up front.
