Wild Enduro and E-Wild Performance Lines Launch in UK at £49.99

Michelin has expanded its mountain bike tyre range with two new product lines aimed at enduro enthusiasts seeking performance-oriented riding. The Wild Enduro and E-Wild Performance Line tyres are now available through Silverfish UK and specialist bike retailers nationwide.

Both ranges draw on technology developed for Michelin's Racing Line tyres, offering riders a balance of performance, grip, durability and reliability suited to everyday trail riding.

"Michelin's history with cycling spans more than 130 years and is defined by innovations that continuously shape the future of the sport," said Brandon Chapel, bicycle brand manager at Michelin North America. "The new Performance Line tyres apply Michelin's expertise from our global racing DNA and relationships with professional teams to create well-balanced tyres that meet the demands of everyday riding."

Wild Enduro Performance Line

Designed for riders prioritising performance, comfort and reliability, the Wild Enduro Performance Line features a double-ply 33 TPI casing that delivers gradual rebound characteristics for a composed ride feel.

A bead-to-bead shield protects the sidewalls whilst enhancing overall durability. Michelin's Pinch Protection technology aims to reduce pinch flats and sidewall tears across varied terrain.

The tyres utilise Magi-X and Gum-X bi-compound technology, optimising rolling efficiency whilst maximising cornering grip on descents. This compound pairing balances rolling resistance, durability and traction.

The Wild Enduro Performance Line is available in 29-inch and 27.5-inch sizes, with Mixed-Soft (MS), Mixed-Hard (MH) and rear-specific options.

E-Wild Performance Line

Michelin's E-Wild Performance Line addresses the specific demands of e-mountain bikes, where increased weight and power require tyres optimised for electric-assist riding. The range incorporates technology from the E-Wild Racing Line.

The bi-compound tread balances grip, rolling efficiency and longevity using Gum-X and Magi-X compounds. Anti-pinch and anti-puncture protection provides comprehensive durability, whilst low-pressure reinforcements enable riders to reduce air pressure for improved grip without sacrificing reliability.

The E-Wild Performance Line is available in 29-inch and 27.5-inch sizes for both front and rear applications.
