The Michelin StarCross 6 Medium Hard front motorcycle tire is designed for motocross and off-road riders who need dependable traction on intermediate-to-hard terrain. This tire uses Michelin adaptive tread design to help deliver up to 15% more traction than the previous-generation Michelin StarCross 5 Medium tire under specified test conditions. Its front fitment is sized 80/100-21 with a 51M speed rating, making it suitable for compatible motocross motorcycles and off-road applications.
Michelin Silica Technology is engineered to support consistent performance as the tread wears.
