Michelin Australia today launched the new MICHELIN StarCross 5 range of motocross tyres.

Available in four versions (Hard, Medium, Soft and Sand) MICHELIN StarCross 5 tyres are designed to give high levels of performance on all types of ground conditions and terrain found in motocross and cross country races.

Lighter casing has reduced weight by as much as 15 percent, with the average across the StarCross 5 range about 10 per cent. The most obvious by-product of trimming the 'fat' is less unspring weight, which has palpable benefits in terms of braking, handling and general manoeuvrability.

The lighter casing is down to a new production technology, with the three-ply nylon design jettisoned in favour of a two-ply polyester construction. Michelin claims the update has not only reduced tyre 'rebound' but lateral rigidity remains unaffected. And the StarCross 5 tyres also also require less 'warm-up' compared to their predecessors.

The Pirelli SCORPION Trail II shows the best driving characteristics and excellent grip on wet and dry roads and combines this with high mileage. Already recognized as test winner >>, thanks to the new approval from Pirelli, the SCORPION™ Trail II is now also an icon of travel enduros -
the BMW R 1200 GS K50 / R 1200 GS Adventur K51 in the current version – available. Together with the existing homologations for the previous GS and GS Adventure series with four-valve boxer engines (from the R 1100 GS from 1994), the SCORPION™ Trail II is approved for all models of BMW's cult enduro bikes. Fans of the popular “white-blue” all-round motorcycles can therefore plan their next tour with peace of mind, because as a real “adventure touring” motorcycle tire, the new Pirelli is an ideal partner for long journeys and chasing curves on the home route.

Designed for track use, the MICHELIN Power Cup Ultimate is the treaded, road-legal version of the MICHELIN Power Slick Ultimate, but with genuine sporting credentials. It, too, is designed for faster riders and features the same performance-enhancing evolutions as the Power Slick Ultimate.

The range features a single version of the front tyre (medium/B) and a choice of three versions for the rear tyres (A, B and C) depending on track temperature and the demands made by the track.

120/70 ZR 17 B

190/55 ZR 17 A
190/55 ZR 17 B
190/55 ZR 17 C

The Michelin Power Slick Ultimate  range was developed for experienced riders looking to set quick lap times. It benefits directly from the latest racing-developed technological breakthroughs. Its grip on dry surfaces is exceptional and it is extremely easy to master.

The front tyre, which features a new construction and compound, ensures impressive, reassuring cornering precision, not to mention enhanced grip under braking.

The rear provides maximum grip under acceleration in addition to outstanding longevity.

The range includes a choice of two versions for the front tyre (a medium/B compound and a harder/C alternative), plus three options for the rear tyre (soft/A-medium/B-hard/C) depending on track temperature and layout.

The particularly competitive MICHELIN Power Slick Ultimate range is perfectly suited to track racing. This season, for example, it is the tyre used by all competitors in the Spanish CEV championship, a fiercely-contested series which has seen Michelin enjoy an unbroken run of five titles since 2010.

Even though Bridgestone is still a player at the consumer level with the fabulous 403/404 tire combo, they are ready to make a new move into the motocross market with the Battlecross X40.

Using the Battlecross product name for the first time, both new tires exploit Bridgestone’s advanced MX tread and block design technology, developed and proven at the highest level of motocross competition.

The X40 is a hard-pack tire.
