The MICHELIN Road 6 uses 100% MICHELIN Silica Technology tread compounds and a tread pattern featuring MICHELIN Water Evergrip Technology. Compared with the MICHELIN Road 5, this design provides up to 15% more grip in wet conditions based on internal lap time testing. Grooves and tread features are engineered to help maintain water evacuation as the tire wears, supporting predictable traction on wet pavement. Actual results may vary depending on motorcycle setup, riding style, road conditions, weather, and tire maintenance.
MICHELIN 2CT+ Technology is applied to the rear tire to help provide enhanced rigidity at lean and improved stability while cornering, particularly during strong acceleration or heavy braking. The MICHELIN Road 6 also delivers up to 10% longer tread life than the previous generation based on external wear testing. Together, these technologies make the MICHELIN Road 6 rear tire a strong choice for riders seeking reliable mileage, responsive cornering, and confident control for long-distance travel or daily road use. Professional installation, proper inflation, and adherence to the motorcycle manufacturer’s fitment recommendations are required.
