REDUCED WEIGHT
Stronger, higher density casing materials - Up to 15% lighter for the Sand
tyre, and an average of 10% for all tyres - Improves acceleration, braking,
and steering control.
REDESIGNED ARCHITECTURE
Two, more densely constructed polyester plies - Increased sidewall
strength and lateral rigidity - More aggressive sculptures maintain traction
at all lean angles - New bead profile makes them easier to install.
COMFORT CASING TECHNOLOGY
Absorbs square edges and braking bumps better, and minimizes tyre
rebound, which helps reduce arm pump and rider fatigue.
SELF-CLEANING TREAD DESIGN
Fine lines at the base of the tread blocks help release mud and debris as
the casing flexes - Mud-Phobic Bars on the MICHELIN StarCross 5 Soft
rear maximize the cleaning capability.
WIDER SCOPE OF USE
MICHELIN StarCross 5 Medium and Soft versions are more versatile and
effective in a wider range of terrains and conditions compared to the
previous range - Spend less money and time changing tyres and enjoy
more performance on the track and trails.
EXPANDED FITMENTS
Seven new sizes added to provide matched set options on a wider range of
motocross, off-road and vintage bikes.
mixed/soft ground
FOR USE ON FIRM SOIL TO SOFT AND SANDY
CONDITIONS
Specifically designed to provide a high level of performance on
a wider range of terrain from firm soil, grass, mud, and even
sand. Mud-Phobic Bars maximize cleaning capability to prevent
mud and dirt from building up between the knobs, which
ensures maximum traction and acceleration. The intermediate
tread blocks on the Soft tyre are positioned in staggered rows
to maximize traction and feedback throughout varying lean
angles.
FOR HARD, COMPACT AND ROCKY TERRAIN
Ideal for use on hard terrain and compact soil commonly found
on Supercross tracks. The innovative tread design maintains an
equivalent contact patch whatever the lean angle, which
provides more progressive handling in corners, and improved
straight line traction. Suction grip tread blocks cause the rubber
to reach operating temperatures quickly, helping the tires to
adhere to very hard and slick surfaces.
SuperCross use
FOR USE ON SAND
Designed specifically for riding and competing in sand. The
front tyre features a more open and aggressive tread design,
with knobs specifically designed to provide optimum
performance and steering response in sand. The rear tyre,
which is up to 15% lighter* than its predecessor, features a
specifically designed tread with monster scoops, which work
to evacuate sand more efficiently, providing enhanced
acceleration and braking.
FOR A WIDE RANGE OF CONDITIONS AND TERRAIN
Designed to deliver high levels of performance across the
broadest range of conditions and terrain found in motocross
and off-road riding. The tyre's versatility allows riders to enjoy
optimized performance in conditions and terrain that can often
change over the course of a day. The intermediate tread blocks
are positioned in staggered rows to maximize traction and
feedback throughout varying lean angles.
