The Michelin Scorcher 21 rear motorcycle tire delivers a sporty feel, responsive handling, and confident urban agility for riders who want precise performance at every speed. Inspired by Michelin hypersport tires, this rear tire is designed to provide a lightweight feel and controlled maneuverability while maintaining the traditional styling expected from a cruiser motorcycle tire. Its 160/60R17 size and 69V speed rating make it a suitable fit for select applications requiring dependable rear-tire performance.
The Scorcher 21 features Michelin Silica Rain Technology, using silica-rich rubber compounds to promote strong grip on wet pavement and consistent traction in changing riding conditions. The compound is also engineered to support long, even wear, helping the tire maintain reliable road manners throughout its service life. Tread performance is balanced with a cruiser-oriented design, making this Michelin tire well suited to everyday street riding, commuting, and longer urban trips where stability and predictable response are important.
Michelin developed the Scorcher 21 with a traditional cruiser profile and an exclusive co-branded tread design associated with the popular Michelin Scorcher 31 tire. The tire is original equipment for the Harley-Davidson Street Rod motorcycle, providing a factory-oriented replacement option for compatible applications. This product is a rear tire from Michelin, with manufacturer part number 05318 and vendor part number 05318. Always verify the motorcycle fitment, approved tire specifications, load requirements, and front-to-rear tire pairing before installation. Professional mounting and balancing are recommended for proper performance and safe operation.
