REDUCED WEIGHT

• Stronger, higher density casing materials reduce weight up to 15% for the Sand tire, and an average of 10% for all tires

• Reduced unsprung mass on both front and rear tires reduces the rotational inertia for improved acceleration, braking, and

steering control.

REDESIGNED ARCHITECTURE

• Lateral rigidity is maintained by using two, more densely constructed polyester plies, providing increased sidewall

strength, which reduces the likelihood of pinch flats.

• Enhanced tread designs with more aggressive sculptures and variable height tread blocks that maintain traction straight

up and at varying lean angles.

• MICHELIN StarCross 5 front tires are designed to enhance braking performance and cornering traction while maintaining

an optimized contact patch.

• The new bead profile makes them easier to install.

COMFORT CASING TECHNOLOGY

• The new casing absorbs square edges and braking bumps better, and minimizes tire rebound, which helps reduce arm

pump and rider fatigue.

SELF-CLEANING TREAD DESIGN

• Fine lines found at the base of the tread blocks are designed to release mud and debris as the casing flexes to maintain

maximum traction.

• Mud-Phobic Bars between the central blocks on the MICHELIN StarCross 5 Soft rear maximize the cleaning capability

and improve lateral grip in softer terrain.

WIDER SCOPE OF USE

• MICHELIN StarCross 5 Medium and Soft versions are more versatile and effective in a wider range of terrains and

conditions compared to the previous range.

EXPANDED FITMENTS

• Seven new sizes added to provide matched set options on a wider range of motocross, off-road and vintage bikes.
