Receptor vs POWER ROAD TLR review

In this entry we are going to compare and review Maxxis Receptor vs Michelin POWER ROAD TLR tyres. Both manufactured by different brands, Maxxis and Michelin respectively, these tyres have been designed to be used for different purposes. Whilst Maxxis Receptor is better for gravel and hybrid activities, Michelin POWER ROAD TLR is a great choice if your needs are more aligned to road activities.

Receptor

POWER ROAD TLR

More rolling efficiency. With Tubeless Ready technology you improve your performance and are more efficient.
More robustness. Thanks to its 4x120 TPI casing which improves the robustness of the tyre and offers more comfort at low pressure.
More longevity. Thanks to the X-Race Compound designed to optimize the wear of the tread.

MICHELIN'S ADVICE

Disc Brake Ready technology allows the tire to withstand the extra braking of bicycles with disc brakes thanks to a specially adapted rubber

Semi-slick gravel tire

The first tubeless road tire from Michelin

The Maxxis Receptor is a semi-slick gravel tire designed for riding on pavement, hard-packed dirt roads, and light gravel. With its low profile center tread, the Receptor rolls easily no matter the surface. Small side knobs provide cornering traction in loose over hard terrain.

EXO An extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material added to the sidewalls of select mountain tires. This densely woven fabric is also lightweight and highly flexible, ensuring that the performance of the tire remains unaffected. Choose EXO Protection for exceptionally rocky, treacherous trails where the chance of sidewall cuts and abrasions is high.
Tubeless Ready Tubeless tires provide the rider with many benefits: the ability to run lower air pressures, which improves traction; lower rolling resistance when compared to a tube-type tire; and less chance of flatting because there is no tube. Liquid sealants should only be used in the following types of tires: tubeless road, tubular, and tubeless ready. The use of liquid sealants in any other Maxxis tire will void the warranty.
