Introducing the all-new MICHELIN® Road 6 Tire
The Road 6 improves on the already legendary performance of the Road series tires, by increasing wet grip, improving life and increasing cornering stability.
The Road 6 provides 15% more grip than the Road 5 in wet conditions thanks to MICHELIN® Silica Technology™ tread compounds and a new tread pattern featuring MICHELIN® Water Evergrip Technology™.
Add to that 10% longer tread life compared to previous generations, and it all reflects the MICHELIN® commitment to improving and innovating over the last two decades.
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 previous generations.
The new MICHELIN® Road 6 will be available starting in January 2022. For available sizes, refer to the chart on this page.

Claims in this press release are based on internal lap time testing conducted in 2020 in Fontange, France, on wet surfaces using a 2018 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. Additional claims are based on external wear testing conducted in 2020 by Dekra in France using a 2014 BMW K 1300 R 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 2,500 miles. Actual results may vary.
** Fits popular Adventure Touring motorcycles.
Will it fit on a BMW K1600 without rubbing on the swingarm? Asking for a few thousand friends.
You’ll need to contact Michelin about that – I haven’t seen a set yet. Once I do (in the vicinity of a K16), I’ll let you know!
