The MICHELIN Road 6 rear motorcycle tire is designed for riders who want dependable wet-weather grip, confident cornering, and extended tread life. This radial sport-touring tire uses 100% MICHELIN Silica Technology tread compounds and a tread pattern featuring MICHELIN Water Evergrip Technology to help maintain traction on wet roads. In internal testing, the Road 6 delivered up to 15% more wet grip than the previous-generation MICHELIN Road 5 tire.
MICHELIN 2CT+ Technology uses a multi-compound construction to enhance stability and cornering performance. The technology provides a durable center compound for touring mileage and a grippy shoulder compound for confident handling at lean. Compared with the prior generation, the MICHELIN Road 6 is engineered to provide up to 10% longer tread life, helping support extended road-trip use and everyday sport-touring applications.
Designed for compatible motorcycles requiring a 180/55ZR17 rear tire, this MICHELIN Road 6 model is rated (73W) for high-speed performance and is intended for rear-wheel fitment.
