Michelin has announced the new Power Cup range of clincher, tubeless-ready and tubular road bike tyres<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The French brand claims independent testing by Finnish lab Wheel Energy shows the 700 x 25c clincher version offers lower rolling resistance than key competitors such as the Continental GP5000<\/a>, Schwalbe Pro One<\/a> and Vittoria Corsa 2.0<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite this, Michelin claims weight, grip and puncture protection are all highly competitive within this category.<\/p>\n
