TCX/JV International develop new Michelin soles

TCX has signed a major agreement for the development and production of high-performance motorcycling outsoles with JV International, a strategic partner for its innovative Michelin Tech Soles.
The company is taking on a new challenge for 2015, presenting a collection with many novel features, including Michelin brand high-performance outsoles. The R&D department at TCX, together with the Design Center in Verona and the headquarters in Como of JV International, have developed two new high-tech outsoles devised for the adventure touring market and for the increasingly demanding urban commuting market. Both outsoles blend in seamlessly with the ergonomic design of the footwear, displaying technical characteristics obtained from Michelin tyre use by trial and road riders, which are said to offer highest performance levels under all conditions.


The new adventure boot is the Infinity Evo Gore-Tex, which has been restyled as part of the TCX 2015 collection. The Michelin tech sole paired with this boot is inspired by the technology used in the famous Michelin Anakee III tyres, reproducing an ideal tread pattern to encourage the dispersion of water, mud and detritus, while also guaranteeing ultimate stability and grip under all conditions thanks to the use of a special mixture.
Another ambitious high-tech sole project is paired with the Urban Performance 2015 TCX range, and specifically the new X-Cube Evo WP and X-Square Plus footwear. This line has been designed for motorcyclists who use their bikes every day for short or medium length journeys in urban areas. The Michelin high-tech outsole features a high-impact tread pattern and technology inspired by the Michelin Pilot Road 4 and Pro Grip 4 tyres, having excellent water drainage capacity, maximum grip and a great hold, even on the most slippery surfaces and under the toughest conditions.
TCX will present the new range at both INTERMOT and EICMA this year.
