ROAD 6 Tyre 160/60 R17 69W by Michelin

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

Usage and Performance

• The claimed 15% increase in wet grip compared to the previous model enhances traction when the road is damp.
• The new grooves and blade angles promote lateral grip to assist with angle changes.
• The 3D blade technology maintains water evacuation as the tyre wears, ensuring suitable performance on wet surfaces.
• The 2CT+ technology at the front and rear enhances stability, particularly during rapid acceleration.
• The projected longevity increase of 10% compared to the previous model reduces the frequency of tyre replacements.
• The claimed stability improvement of 5% over the previous model supports road handling.

Design and Materials

• The high-density, stiffer carcass enhances manoeuvrability and feedback at the handlebars.
• The aramid layers help reduce weight and optimise tyre stability.
• The 100% silica used enhances grip on cold, damp, or wet surfaces without compromising longevity.

Installation and Fitting

• The 160/60 R17 size fits a 17-inch rim with a width of 160 mm and a profile of 60, adhering to the specified replacement dimensions.
• The rear position identifies the intended location on the motorcycle and simplifies the selection of the appropriate tyre.
• The radial structure corresponds to the tyre's construction for a compliant replacement.
• The tubeless fitting without an inner tube simplifies the identification of a compatible mounting system.
• The load index of 69 and speed index W allow verification of the tyre's suitability for the motorcycle's requirements.
