The Michelin Starcross 5 Soft Rear Tire is designed for motocross riders who need dependable traction and responsive handling across soft to intermediate terrain. This 90/100-14 bias-ply, tube-type rear tire is engineered for use on firm soil, grass, mud, and sandy conditions, providing a versatile performance range for changing track surfaces. Michelin combines a specialized tread design with durable construction to help riders maintain control and acceleration when conditions become challenging.
The Starcross 5 Soft features Mud-Phobic Bars that improve the tire’s self-cleaning capability. These tread elements help prevent mud and dirt from packing between the knobs, allowing the tread to remain more open and effective in soft conditions. By reducing buildup, the tire helps maximize traction during acceleration and cornering, giving riders consistent drive when riding through mud, loose soil, or sand. The tread pattern is also designed to deliver high performance without sacrificing predictable feedback on firmer sections of the track.
Intermediate tread blocks are arranged in staggered rows to enhance grip and feedback across varying lean angles. This layout helps the rear tire maintain contact and traction as the motorcycle transitions through turns, ruts, and uneven terrain. The result is a controlled, responsive feel that supports aggressive riding while helping the rider stay connected to changing track conditions. The Michelin Starcross 5 Soft is also up to 10% lighter than the previous generation, helping contribute to responsive handling and reduced unsprung weight.
