Michelin presents new youth MX and enduro tires!
Tire giant Michelin continues to invest heavily in the motorcycle market. The French brand is coming up with no fewer than 2020 new motorcycle tires for 9. We take a closer look at the new Michelin Starcross 5 mini and the Michelin Enduro Xtrem.
Michelin invests heavily in top competitions such as MotoGP and MotoE, but you can't ignore the Michelin man in off-road either! Motocross or enduro, adult or youth rider, Michelin has suitable rubber in its range for every pilot.
For 2020, Michelin strengthens its offering with two new off-road tires: the Michelin Enduro
Plenty of traction: Michelin Enduro Xtrem
Erzberg Rodeo, Romaniacs, GetzenRodeo… Hard enduro enthusiasts know exactly where and when they can confront the most difficult conditions. Divert deep ruts, uphill, downhill on steep slopes. Boundaries are being pushed in enduro! To respond to this as a rider, you need traction under all circumstances. The new MICHELIN Enduro Xtrem rear tire is the result of three years of research and development. It is distinguished by its exceptional grip; even on the most difficult surfaces.
Wear resistance was part of the package of requirements so that riders have the best chance of success. The MICHELIN Enduro Click here .
Michelin Starcross 5 Mini: for a flying start!
Young motocross riders, with engines from 50 to 85 cc on large wheels, must be able to count on the same performance as older riders. That is why Michelin made a variant of the MICHELIN StarCross 5, especially for youth drivers. In addition to the new MICHELIN StarCross 5 Medium and MICHELIN StarCross 5 Soft for large engines, there is now the MICHELIN StarCross 5 Mini. The MICHELIN StarCross 5 Medium was the model for this smaller tire.
The development of Michelin's latest did not happen overnight. In total, it took no less than two years to perfect the Michelin Starcross 5 Mini. The Bud Racing Kawasaki team, among others, contributed to the testing work!
Quentin Prignières already rode to the French title with the Beloften last season with these tires. The Michelin Starcross 5 mini tires guarantee both grip and longevity on various cross tracks. These tires are available in a wide range of sizes (from 90/100 x 16 to 2.50 x 10). Click here .
