Outstanding technical performance

More lightweight and maneuverable, the new MICHELIN StarCross 5 Hard tire features a combination of technologies. The key point is its carcass, which is considerably more flexible. Its performance on straight lines and curves is optimized, providing your motorcycle with improved traction and steadier handling around curves.

For the most extreme curves

Hours of thought and countless miles on sunken terrains went into creating one incredible result. For more than three years, our engineers and riders worked side by side to design this exceptional tire, a specialist of Supercross.

  • For hard, compact and rocky terrain
  • For the most extreme races
  • Ideal for use on hard terrain and compact soil commonly found on Supercross tracks.
  • High-tech performance
  • The innovative tread design maintains an equivalent contact patch whatever the lean angle, which provides more progressive handling in corners, and improved straight line traction.
  • Grip for hard surfaces
  • Suction grip tread blocks cause the rubber to reach operating temperatures quickly, helping the tires to adhere to very hard and slick surfaces.
  • A wider range of sizes for use on a wider range of bikes.
  • Up to 10% lighter compared to the previous generation 1

What Do The Numbers Mean?

  • The first number is the width of the tire in mm.
  • The second number is the height of the sidewall given as a % of the width.
  • The third number is the diameter of the wheel in inches.

Example: 120/80-19 or A/B-C [ The width(A) of the tire is 120mm. The sidewall height(B) is 80% of 120 or 96mm. And it fits a 19in wheel(C) ]
