The Michelin Pro5 marks a triumphant return to form for one of road cycling’s most iconic tire lines, now reimagined for the modern rider. This latest generation takes the legacy of the Pro series and upgrades it with contemporary technology, including full tubeless compatibility. Rather than focusing solely on rolling resistance numbers or producing a superlight tire limited to race-day use, Michelin has opted for a more balanced approach. The Pro5 is engineered to perform exceptionally in real-world conditions—whether you're racing, training, or taking on mixed-surface adventures—making it a true all-rounder for dedicated cyclists. That said, make no mistake about it, the Pro5 has pure Michelin race DNA and out performs most other manufacturer's top race tire offerings.

The Pro5 is built to deliver elite performance with everyday durability and safety. A newly developed tread pattern works in tandem with Michelin’s proprietary GUM-X compound, which blends rubber types to achieve optimal grip in both wet and dry conditions. The result is a tire that brakes with confidence on slippery roads while maintaining the speed and feel of a high-performance race tire. Trademark Michelin comfort and quietness has also taken a front seat in the design. With a wider selection of casing sizes—from 28mm up to 35mm—and an internal structure that supports lower inflation pressures, the Pro5 offers increased compliance without sacrificing efficiency. Riders will notice smoother rides on rough tarmac and more control at speed, particularly on long descents and winding roads. This makes the tire ideal not only for competitive scenarios but also for those long, varied training rides where comfort, grip, and dependability all matter.

Additional protection comes from a Bead-to-Bead Shield, which adds a layer of cut resistance across the entire tire surface without impacting ride quality. Coupled with a high-density 3x120 TPI casing, this feature enhances puncture resistance while retaining the Pro series' signature suppleness. The Pro5 is available in multiple widths—700x28, 30, 32, and 35mm—and comes in both classic black and a stylish tan sidewall version. Weights vary from 305g to 390g depending on size, striking an excellent balance between protection and performance.
