Michelin StarCross 5 Sand Tire
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.
