Description
Michelin Starcross 5 Sand – motocross tyre
The Starcross 5 range is engineered for high off-road performance across the varied surfaces encountered in motocross. Its construction is intended to remain manageable for experienced competitors and recreational riders alike.
- Broad performance: the family covers a wide range of ground conditions and off-road riding demands, with each version focused on a particular surface.
- Light construction: Comfort Casing Technology (CCT) reduces tyre weight by 15% without sacrificing stability. The lower unsprung mass contributes to more responsive handling.
- Self-cleaning tread: horizontal tread grooves help prevent mud and debris from accumulating between the blocks, allowing the pattern to keep working in loose ground.
Choose the Starcross 5 compound to suit the ground and riding conditions. The versions share the same performance-led approach but are tuned for distinct terrain:
- Soft: intended for soft to medium surfaces such as sand, mud and loose soil.
- Medium: suited to medium and hard ground, including mixed terrain.
- Hard: developed specifically for firm, compact surfaces.
- Sand: a dedicated pattern developed for maximum drive and improved traction in very deep sand.
