Michelin Road 6 Motorcycle tyres are radial on-road touring tyres for riders seeking reliable road performance throughout commuting, extended touring jaunts and varying weather conditions. With the Sport Touring category, the range is suited to motorcycles requiring a balance of wet-road grip, cornering stability, ride comfort and tread life over a track-oriented specification. Michelin lists the Road 6 in a number of front and rear dimensions, so compatibility is dependent on the motorcycle’s approved tyre specification.
The Road 6 utilises Michelin technologies around its wet-weather performance and road touring focus. The 100% Michelin Silica Technology tread compounds and Water Evergrip Technology tread design are specified by Michelin to deliver 15% more wet grip than the previous Road 5 under Michelin’s stated test conditions. The tread design is intended to maintain effective water evacuation as the tyre wears. Michelin also states that Road 6 delivers 10% longer tread life than the previous generation, based on its specified external wear testing. Actual mileage will vary with motorcycle type, riding style, load, road conditions, inflation pressure and maintenance.
Construction is another key element of the riding characteristics. Michelin lists Radial-X Technology, 2CT+ Technology and Aramid Shield Technology among the Road 6’s technologies. Michelin states that 2CT+ is deployed on the front, as well as the rear to increase rigidity at lean and enhance cornering stability, particularly through strong acceleration or heavy braking. The radial construction is suited to road-going motorcycles where stability, controlled handling and performance are key.
Road 6 dimensions include examples such as 120/70 ZR17 58W for the front and 180/55 ZR17 73W for the rear, as well as others including 110/70 ZR17 54W, 140/70 ZR17 66W, 150/60 ZR17 66W and 160/60 ZR17 69W. In the markings, the width is measured in millimetres, the aspect ratio describes the sidewall height, ZR identifies a high-speed radial construction, the number represents the load index and W represents the speed rating. The load and speed rating is therefore dependent on the selected size.
This range can be suited to compatible road motorcycles for daily riding, weekend touring jaunts, highway travel and wet-weather journeys. Michelin’s published fitment information spans motorcycle categories and specific models, but riders should verify the exact front and rear dimensions, load index, speed rating and manufacturer approval prior to purchase.
