The MICHELIN® Road 6 tire represents the culmination of two decades of continuous innovation and expertise, offering riders a significant leap forward in performance and durability. Designed to excel in diverse riding conditions, this tire provides the confidence needed for both daily commutes and long-distance touring.
Engineered for superior performance, the MICHELIN® Road 6 features several key advancements:
-
Enhanced Wet Grip: Experience 15% more grip in wet conditions compared to the MICHELIN® Road 5 tire. This is achieved through the integration of 100% MICHELIN® Silica Technology™ tread compounds and a specialized tread pattern featuring MICHELIN® Water Evergrip Technology™ (1).
-
Extended Tread Life: Ride further with a 10% longer tread life compared to the previous generation, ensuring your investment goes the distance (2).
-
Increased Stability: MICHELIN® 2CT+ Technology™, previously a standard for rear tires, is now applied to the front. This provides better rigidity at lean and enhanced stability when cornering, particularly under heavy braking or strong acceleration.
Whether you are navigating rain-slicked city streets or carving through winding mountain passes, the Road 6 delivers the stability and traction required for modern sport-touring motorcycles. Its advanced construction ensures consistent performance throughout the life of the tire.
