Experience the ultimate in confidence and performance with the Michelin® Road 5 tire. Designed for riders who demand safety without compromising on thrill, this tire delivers exceptional performance across a variety of road conditions. By utilizing revolutionary patented Michelin® Water Sipe Technology™ and the latest 2CT and 2CT+ tread compounds (1), the Road 5 offers class-leading wet weather grip and handling.
Stability and dry grip are at the forefront of the design, featuring Michelin's patented ACT+ casing technology (2). This provides the rigidity needed for precise cornering and high-speed stability. Safety remains a priority throughout the life of the tire; thanks to evolutionary Michelin® XST Evo sipes, even after 3,500 miles, these tires are engineered to stop as short as brand new Michelin® Pilot® Road 4 tires (3). All variants are (W)-rated for speeds of 168+ mph, ensuring they meet the demands of modern high-performance motorcycles.
