Conclusion: How many racing genes must there be in a sports tire suitable for everyday use? A trade-off that every manufacturer has to make himself. Basically, the test field is close together. The main differences only appear after several sharp laps, when the load is too great for some tires and the cornering stability decreases due to noticeable flexing movements on the rear wheel (Bridgestone, Michelin). This is not the case with the two best in this chapter (Pirelli, Dunlop).

A “safe” stoppie in the rain: the picture not only shows the efficiency of modern assistance systems in sports motorcycles in a particularly impressive way, but would also be inconceivable without a tire specially designed for wet roads.

Conclusion: Michelin is back! After the Power Pure was designed a bit too pointed when wet, its successor, the Power 3, scores with significantly more balance and extremely high adhesive reserves. Together with the Bridgestone, it can clearly set itself apart.

Conclusion: In principle, the ranking of the race track rating is reversed in this test chapter. Overall, Pirelli and Dunlop respond very hesitantly and cannot bring out any real advantages with their hard basic structure. The much smoother tires from Bridgestone and Michelin do this much better. A real high-flyer in this discipline is the extremely handy Conti Sport Attack 2.

Good news for all fans of the old Michelin Pilot Power series: It’s back – and better than ever with the Power 3! The successor to the hapless Power Pure made it to the podium straight away and tied for first place alongside last year’s winner Bridgestone S 20. Both thanks to their outstanding properties in the wet with a comfortable advantage. Third place is shared by two recommendations: the Conti for country road hunters, the Pirelli for the racing faction.

Michelin Pilot Power 3
Info: Weight: front 4.3 kg, rear 6.7 kg, country of manufacture: Spain, information / approvals: Michelin Reifenwerke, Tel. 0721/5300, www.michelin.de
Race track: (85 points, 4th place):
The main difference between the new Pilot Power 3 and its predecessor, Power Pure, is its significantly more balanced steering precision. While the Pure still ensured wobbly handling at high lean angles, the Power 3, on the other hand, is very handy and neutral over the entire lean angle range. The good feedback ensures a lot of trust. After a few brisk laps, flexing movements like the Bridgestone get in the way, and that’s missing

Country road / Autobahn: (92 points, 2nd place): The Power 3 ties in with the well-known Power 2CT. Its area of application is clearly characterized by great handiness and maximum feedback under everyday conditions. The cornering grip and stability are very good even in cool temperatures and are maintained even at brisk country road speeds.
Wet test: (94 points, 1st place): The brilliant grip with a wider limit area provides the highest cornering speed in the test. The Power 3 is also convincing on the brakes, handiness and high steering precision guarantee top times in the rain.
Conclusion: A great sports tire for every day with good handiness and steering precision in all weather conditions. The field of application of the new Michelin Pilot Power 3 only ends with extremely sporty use.
MOTORRAD verdict: 1st place – 271 points
