The Michelin Road 6 is a front motorcycle tyre designed for road use on touring bikes, roadsters, sports bikes, GTs, and trails. Its design enhances grip on both dry and wet surfaces, stability, and longevity to support daily commutes as well as long-distance journeys.

Usage and Performance

• Wet grip improves by 15% compared to the Road 5, enhancing traction in the rain.
• Longevity increases by 10% over the previous model, allowing for longer intervals between replacements.
• Stability improves by 5% compared to the Road 5, providing a more consistent performance.
• The 3D sipes ensure consistent water evacuation as the tyre wears, preserving its performance on wet surfaces.
• The new grooves and siping angles enhance lateral grip to support angle changes.
• The high-density carcass promotes handling and feedback for a better feel of the motorcycle's behaviour.

Design and Materials

• The 2CT+ technology enhances tyre stability, especially during hard acceleration.
• 100% silica improves grip on cold, damp, or wet surfaces without compromising longevity.
• The aramid layers help resist centrifugal forces and reduce the weight of the structure.

Installation and Mounting

• The 120/70 R18 format corresponds to an 18-inch rim for easy identification of the suitable replacement.
• The radial structure supports the tyre design to maintain stability during riding.
• The Tubeless mounting is done without an inner tube to comply with the intended tyre configuration.
• The load index of 59 and speed index W allow for verification of the tyre's compatibility with the motorcycle's requirements.
