Michelin Power 6 Rear Tire – 180/55ZR17

Product Overview

This is the 180/55ZR17 rear in the Michelin Power 6 line, Michelin part number 08968. The Power 6 is Michelin's current sport road tire, the one that follows the Power 5 in their range, and Michelin aims it at sport bikes above 300cc — their own framing is an everyday tire that keeps the bike feeling sporty rather than a dedicated track tire.

180/55-17 is the stock rear size on most of the current 600-class sportbikes.

This is current-generation rubber. Michelin compares the Power 6 directly against the Power 5, the tire it replaced in the sport range, and states that it improves grip in both dry and wet conditions, on the basis of their own comparative testing at their Ladoux facility in 2023. It reached riders in January 2024.

Key Technology & Design

Michelin 2CT+ dual compound

  • Michelin describes 2CT+ as an evolution of their 2CT technology: the harder centre compound is extended underneath the softer shoulder compound, which Michelin says increases rigidity and improves cornering stability.

100% silica compound

  • Michelin states the grip in wet and dry conditions comes from 100% Michelin silica technology together with 2CT+ on both the front and rear tires.

Michelin Radial-X EVO construction

  • Michelin describes Radial-X EVO as an enhancement of their Radial-X casing technology, which they say delivers improved stability and responsiveness at high speed.

Michelin Premium Touch sidewall finish

  • Michelin describes Premium Touch Design as a patented dark, velvet-like sidewall texture. It is a finish, not a performance feature.
