The Michelin STARCROSS 5 SOFT is a high-performance motocross tire specifically engineered for mixed to soft terrain conditions including firm soil, grass, mud and sand. The tire features Michelin's Comfort Casing Technology with a 15% lighter carcass construction compared to previous generations, utilizing two polyester plies instead of three nylon plies for reduced unsprung weight and improved acceleration, braking and steering control. Its aggressive tread pattern incorporates variable height blocks positioned in staggered rows to maximize traction at different lean angles, complemented by revolutionary horizontal ridges within the tread design for enhanced self-cleaning capabilities. The soft compound rear tire is equipped with unique Mud-Phobic Bars between the central blocks to prevent dirt buildup and maintain optimal traction. Designed for both experienced and recreational motocross riders, this tube-type tire provides exceptional grip, enhanced cornering stability, and superior shock absorption that reduces rider fatigue during demanding off-road conditions. The tire is available in multiple sizes for 18-inch, 19-inch and 21-inch applications with a maximum speed rating of 81 mph.
