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.
