The Michelin Road 6 rear motorcycle tire is designed for riders who want dependable wet-weather grip, long-lasting performance, and confident cornering. This rear tire uses Michelin 100% Silica Technology tread compounds and Water Evergrip Technology to provide up to 15% more grip in wet conditions than the previous-generation Michelin Road 5 tire. Its 160/60ZR17 size and (69W) speed rating make it suitable for a range of sport-touring motorcycle applications requiring a 17-inch rear fitment.
Michelin 2CT+ Technology is incorporated into the Road 6 rear tire to improve rigidity at lean and increase stability while cornering, particularly during strong acceleration or heavy braking. The tread design supports consistent road contact across changing conditions, helping deliver predictable handling for daily riding, touring, and spirited road use. Compared with the Michelin Road 5, the Road 6 is designed to provide up to 10% longer tread life based on external wear testing.
Built on two decades of Michelin motorcycle tire development, the Road 6 combines advanced compounds, a refined tread pattern, and sport-touring performance in one dependable package. This Michelin tire is the rear fitment in the Road 6 range and should be paired with the properly matched front tire for the motorcycle manufacturer’s recommended application. Verify clearance, load requirements, wheel size, and motorcycle fitment before installation. Manufacturer part number: 19678. Vendor part number: 19678.
