The sand specialist

For three years, MICHELIN mobilized its engineers and riders to design this tire. Rigorous tests on rough terrains led to a final result exceeding our expectations. We thus developed a tire specializing in sand, the most complete and technical tire of its kind, with your riding pleasure in mind.

High-performance technologies

More lightweight and maneuverable, the new MICHELIN StarCross 5 Sand 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 use on sand
  • Designed specifically for riding and competing in sand.
  • Optimum steering response
  • The front tire features a more open and aggressive tread design, with knobs specifically designed to provide optimum performance and steering response in sand.
  • Monster scoops for enhanced acceleration and braking
  • The rear tire, which is up to 15% lighter1 than its predecessor, features a specifically designed tread with monster scoops, which work to evacuate sand more efficiently, providing enhanced acceleration and braking.

What Do The Numbers Mean?

A: Width (120/80-19)
Width of the tire, typically in millimeters, from sidewall across the tread to the opposite sidewall.

B: Aspect Ratio (120/80-19)
The height of the cross-sectional profile expressed as a % of the width of the tire

C: Rim Size (120/80-19)
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) ]
