Michelin Scorcher 11 180/55 R17 TL 73W Rear wheel, M/C DOT2018

The exclusively developed radial tyre for Harley-Davidson® V-Rod®, Sportster®, Fat Boy® and all Street models.

Radial carcass for a sporty feel

Inspired by our hypersport tires with high-quality materials, such as aramid fiber used in the aviation industry, the MICHELIN Scorcher 11 provides resistance and a lightweight feel, as well as unfailing stability at high speeds, to the Sportster® SuperLow™.

The Scorcher 11 incorporates Silica Rain Technology

To match the excellence of Harley-Davidson® as closely as possible, our engineers have developed a mix of silica-rich rubber compounds. This extremely powerful technology provides outstanding grip on wet surfaces. It also ensures a maximum service life.

An exclusive model for a legendary motorcycle

Conceived exclusively for Harley-Davidson® motorcycles, our tires feature an exclusive Harley-Davidson® co-branded design.

Michelin – we take you further.

The vision of our founders, Edouard and André Michelin, has guided the development of the MICHELIN brand for more than 125 years: making driving as simple, safe, and comfortable as possible – first with innovative tires and wheels, followed by road maps, travel guides, and contributions toward improving traffic infrastructure. Along with this comes a strong engagement with the environment, as modern mobility must be sustainable and not detrimental to the environment.

Each year the Michelin Group produces more than 178 million tires in 68 production facilities in 17 countries, and it operates sales networks in more than 170 countries. The product offerings are many: from bicycle, passenger car, truck, motorcycle, and tractor tires, to tires for 5-ton earth- moving machines. Michelin employs 111,700 people worldwide and owns one of the oldest, most famous trademarks in the world – the legendary Michelin Man.

Targeted development: MICHELIN Total Performance

In the development of new products, Michelin faithfully pursues the concept of "MICHELIN Total Performance", backed by the rigorous standard of always bringing together a number of performance characteristics into a tire, to achieve optimal results. We follow this philosophy not only in the development of our standard products, but also in motorsports. Numerous technical innovations help to relieve burdens on the environment, drivers, and businesses. Hidden out of sight in tire casings, tread designs, and rubber compounds, throughout their lives MICHELIN tires show their full potential: they offer excellent grip, long life, and reduced fuel consumption thanks to their low rolling resistance.

To better understand the conditions which tires are subjected to in everyday use, in the summer of 2014 Michelin began a unique research project – the Road Usage Lab. Vehicles from 3,000 drivers in Europe were equipped with special measurement devices to record data about the tires' use. These valuable findings are being employed in the development of future tire models, making them better suited to the needs of real drivers.
