Michelin Power 6 | The Best Road Based Motorcycle Tyre??

I was invited by Michelin to Spain to put their latest generation of road tyres through their paces on road and track. Tyre testing is subjective especially when you are testing the same brand of tyre but here's my findings from the Michelin Power 6 and Power GP 2 on the road.

    On the road that Hornet was definitely showing you don't need a 1000cc super naked!!! In most cases these days, the bike has more talent than the rider!

    Surely all modern well known branded tyres are excellent?

    You will probably hear from Policía Municipal soon. Nice of you to document your traffic violations on video.

    Ive got power 6's on my '15 GSXR600, absolutely fantastic tyres. Tonnes of grip, feel and traction. Ridden on them for 4000+km and had 0 issues. Wear is also incredible, still have plenty of tread left. Will probably get around 10000+km by the looks of them.

    Great test Chopsy, incidentally having recently tested the BMW S1000R and M1000R I must admit that IMO the S1000R is a far better every day road bike, I found the M too rigid and basically a super bike with flat bars and no fairing and for me at least the S had all the power needed.

    Had the power 5 great overall tire predictable and confidence inspiring, currently running power 6 and a lot more grip and predictable characteristics, lots of grip on wet roads. I rode in down pour for 3 full hours hitting 3 digits with no hiccups.

    It’s interesting when it comes to the choice of tyres. One example (keeping in mind that I once for several years was testing each at Phillip Island during racing seasons), is an ex teammate, racing the exact same bikes. With lap times separating us by tenths of a second, ran different brands and were slower if we swapped tyres. It’s something you can only grasp when testing back to back, on the same bike and track to really determine what suits you best. This being said, for 99% of all riders, just go with what is recommended from your trusted service centre as these days, apart from the OEM rubber, are better than the rider on them.

    I only just got the power 6’s but what a difference, just had them fitted…. But what a difference, to the standard remoulds that the factory put out! Today Michelin gave me a new bike 🕺🏻

    Just had these fitted to my bike. I was a big fan of the 5. Looking forward to riding after breaking these in.

    Great idea about comparing the competition at a tyre launch! I have Road 5’s on my Speed Triple and I absolutely love them in all conditions. My bestie now has Road 6’s on her 2011 Street Triple and I’ve no problems with them in the wet and remember the bike doesn’t have any rider modes to reign in the power. I’d be very interested to try the Power 6’s in the UK wet weather, I have no doubt they are brilliant when riding in the heat in Spain! 😁👍
