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.
