DH22 Racing Line 27.5in Tubeless Tire

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve run this on steep, loose tracks where front-end grip is everything. The tread digs in noticeably better in soft dirt compared to harder-focused tires, and the casing holds up under aggressive riding. It’s a strong option for race days when the course favors traction over outright rolling speed."

When we’re preparing a downhill or enduro bike for mixed and soft race conditions, tire selection directly impacts confidence and control. The DH22 Racing Line 27.5in Tire is engineered to perform on loose, blown-out, and loose-over-hard terrain where predictable grip is critical. Its tread pattern is optimized to bite into softer surfaces while still maintaining stability when transitioning onto firmer ground.

Michelin’s Magi-X compound is formulated to maximize grip under heavy braking and cornering loads. This high-traction rubber increases contact with the terrain, improving stability on steep chutes and in deep berms. The 55/120 TPI casing construction balances impact resistance with controlled flexibility, helping the tire track accurately through rough sections. Bead-To-Bead Shield and Tread Shield technologies reinforce vulnerable areas across the tread and sidewalls, reducing the risk of punctures and pinch flats during aggressive riding. Designed around 27.5-inch wheel platforms commonly found on downhill and enduro setups, the DH22 Racing Line integrates seamlessly with modern gravity wheelsets. For riders prioritizing traction in softer conditions and demanding race-level durability, it delivers the grip and structural support needed to push limits on technical descents.
