Michelin Motorcycle Tyres: Performance Built Around the Rider

Michelin has more than a century of experience developing tyres for motorcycles, cars and motorsport. Its motorcycle range is designed to deliver dependable grip, predictable handling and long-lasting performance across everything from daily commuting and weekend road riding to touring, adventure travel and track use.

For New Zealand riders, where road surfaces and weather conditions can change quickly, choosing the correct tyre is essential. Michelin motorcycle tyres are engineered to provide confidence in both wet and dry conditions while maintaining the stability, comfort and steering response expected from a modern motorcycle.

Advanced Compound and Tread Technology

Michelin uses carefully developed rubber compounds and tread patterns to balance grip, durability and handling. Selected motorcycle tyres use multi-compound construction, with a harder rubber compound through the centre of the tread to support mileage and stability, combined with softer shoulder compounds for increased grip while cornering.

Wet-weather performance is another key focus. Michelin tread designs are developed to move water away from the contact patch efficiently, helping the tyre maintain traction during braking, acceleration and cornering on damp roads.

Tyre construction also plays an important role in ride quality. Michelin engineers its motorcycle tyres to maintain a consistent profile under load, supporting stable handling and predictable feedback whether riding through city traffic, on open highways or across winding rural roads.

Tyres for Every Riding Style

Michelin offers motorcycle tyres for a wide range of applications:

Road and Sport Touring: Designed to combine wet-weather confidence, stability and long-distance durability for commuting and touring.

Sport and Hypersport: Developed for responsive steering, strong cornering grip and high-performance road riding.

Adventure: Available in road-focused and mixed-surface options for riders exploring both sealed roads and gravel routes.

Cruiser: Built to support heavier motorcycles while delivering comfort, stability and dependable mileage.

Scooter and Urban: Designed for everyday reliability, manoeuvrability and performance in changing city conditions.

Selecting the correct tyre size, load rating and speed rating is critical to preserving the handling characteristics intended by the motorcycle manufacturer.
