MICHELIN - 26276 - Road 6 Tire
This 120/70ZR17 Road 6 front tire carries Michelin's full Water Evergrip tread pattern and 100% silica compound, technology the brand credits with a 15% wet-grip gain over the outgoing Road 5 in its own lap-time testing. The 2CT+ construction, previously reserved for the rear, now reinforces the front carcass too, adding stability during strong acceleration or heavy braking rather than just at steady lean. For sport-touring riders running a 17-inch front, it's a straightforward upgrade path built on two decades of Michelin's road-tire development.
Features
- 15% more grip than the MICHELIN® Road 5 tire in wet conditions thanks to 100% MICHELIN® Silica Technology™ tread compounds and a new tread pattern featuring MICHELIN® Water Evergrip Technology™ (1)
- The MICHELIN® Road 6 tire delivers 10% longer tread life compared to the previous generation (2)
- MICHELIN® 2CT+ Technology™, which has been standard on the rear tire, is now applied to the front tire for better rigidity at lean, and more stability when cornering, especially under strong acceleration or heavy braking, compared to the previous generation
- The MICHELIN® Road 6 tire typifies two decades of ongoing innovations and MICHELIN® technologies from our highest level of expertise
- (1) Based on internal lap time testing conducted in '20 in Fontange, France on wet surfaces using a '18 SUZUKI 1250 Bandit S fitted with 120/70 ZR 17 front and 180/55 ZR17 rear tires comparing MICHELIN® Road 6 and MICHELIN® Road 5 tires. Actual results may vary.
- (2) Based on external wear testing conducted in '20 by Dekra in France using a '14 BMW K1300R fitted with 120/70 ZR 17 front and 180/55 ZR17 rear tires comparing weight loss of MICHELIN® Road 6 and MICHELIN® Road 5 tires after 2500 miles. Actual results may vary.
