Michelin Force AM² Tubeless-Ready All Mountain Tyre for Mixed & Hard-Pack Trails

The MICHELIN FORCE AM ² tyre is expertly engineered for riders seeking a fast-rolling, reliable performance on mixed and hard-pack terrains. Its directional tread pattern is meticulously designed to balance exceptional rolling efficiency with outstanding grip, especially during braking and cornering. Featuring elongated centre blocks, this tyre reduces rolling resistance and minimizes ground penetration, while the prominent block edges enhance braking grip and traction. Inspired by the MICHELIN DH22 tyre, the shoulder blocks deliver superior cornering stability and predictable handling, making every ride confident and controlled on flowing trails.

Built with advanced rubber compounds and casing technology tested in elite Enduro competitions, the FORCE AM ² offers an optimal blend of grip, durability, and comfort. The innovative dual-compound GUM-X Technology places a harder rubber compound at the centre for enhanced rolling efficiency and longevity, while softer rubber on the shoulders ensures maximum grip in corners. Its Gravity Shield Technology casing incorporates bead-to-bead high-density fibres for excellent resistance against impacts, sidewall cuts, and punctures. Coupled with a 3x60 TPI casing, this tyre maintains excellent stiffness and stability without compromising comfort, making it ideal for demanding All Mountain and E-Bike riders.

Designed to excel in hard and mixed terrain conditions, the MICHELIN FORCE AM ² optimizes your ride with increased efficiency, grip, and robustness. Its tubeless-ready, foldable bead design makes installation easy and versatile for front or rear fitting. Whether you’re tackling fast-flowing trails or technical corners, this tyre ensures you maintain momentum with confidence and control, backed by Michelin’s cutting-edge technologies and proven durability.
