MICHELIN STARCROSS 6 MEDIUM SOFT 120/80-19 63M TT REAR MOTOCROSS TYRE

IT REALLY FEELS LIKE WE HAVE BEEN WAITING A LONG TIME FOR MICHELIN TO UPDATE THEIR MOTOCROSS RANGES AND THEY HAVE DONE IT WITH A “BANG”, WITH ALL VARIATIONS IN ONE GO!! WHAT’S INTERESTING IS THAT THERE ARE “SUB” VARIATIONS, FOR WANT OF A BETTER EXPRESSION. SO WHERE BEFORE WE HAD A MEDIUM COMPOUND, NOW WE HAVE A MEDIUM HARD AND A MEDIUM SOFT. THERE USED TO BE AND STILL IS, A SAND VERSION, BUT NOW THERE IS A MUD OPTION.

SO THE MEDIUM SOFT IS DESIGNED TO WIN ON SOFT TERRAIN WITH ITS GRIP AND CONTROL. THE STARCROSS 6 IS MICHELIN’S FIRST SILICA TECHNOLOGY MOTOCROSS TYRE, WHICH SHOULD HELP MAINTAIN THE TREAD BLOCK SHAPE OVER TIME AND COMPARED WITH THE STARCROSS 5, HAS INCREASED DURABILITY BY 19%. THE ADAPTIVE DESIGN AND SPECIFIC POSITIONING OF THE TREAD BLOCKS ON THE 3 ZONES SHOULD ALSO PROVIDE 16% MORE TRACTION COMPARED TO ITS PREDECESSOR.
