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 .
