Perfect for racing on hard-packed tracks or on concrete surfaces, this fast and smooth-rolling tyre is well-equipped for the demands of BMX racing. It features a high-quality compound that ensures maximum speed on hard or dusty terrains, while its robust casing provides increased durability and protection.
Pilot SX Slick features a marked and very shallow tread pattern which is suitable for racing on hard tracks or in spring/summer time. This tyre is tubeless ready (TLR) to reduce weight and improve rolling resistance by around 15 to 25 percent compared to the same tyre running with an inner tube. However, as with all Michelin TLR bicycle tyres, the BMX Racing Line tyres can also be used with inner tubes. The tyre features a robust three-layer 60 TPI casing to resist damage, improve durability and cope with tyre pressures of up to 5 bars.
Tubeless Ready: Tubeless Ready technology reduces rolling resistance for optimum performance.
More Lightweight: The central tread of the Michelin Pilot SX Slick as well as the design of the side studs preserve the momentum.

The Michelin tyres saga begins 1891, with the invention of the first demountable tyre for bicycles. Over the ensuing years, Michelin has never stopped technological innovations for bicycles, such as the first flexible-bead clincher in 1978, the first tyre with a high-density carcass in 1983, and the first tyre with a high-performance silica rubber compound in 1995. In 2000, Michelin introduced the first tubeless tyre for mountain bikes, and has been testing tubeless road tyres in competition since 2003. Riding with total confidence in your tyres means that grip and safety must be optimal under any conditions, in extreme weather or at high speeds. It’s why year after year Michelin introduces technological innovations and develops products with ever-higher performance. Nowadays, the development of bicycle tyres benefits from the same research methods used in designing tyres for Formula 1 and even the space shuttle. Michelin is the only manufacturer developing tyres for such diverse R&D environments. At Michelin they are more than just a tyre manufacturer. They are a community of men and women committed to social responsibility. Below are examples of how they strive to reduce our impact on the environment while delivering greater value, riding pleasure and security.
