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!

Great video mate, looking forward to next part 👍

[yorkshireDUKE-R]

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

Great stuff. Thinking my next purchase will be the power 6 . 👍

Didn't expect to see Jake:) Nice video chops!

[gqbsvnq]

That was great video chopsie can’t wait for the next one 😉👍

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.

I guess that bug made it a blind test 😮 You've made it now Chopsy, quite the jet setter 👍🏻😎

[andyjohnson]

Great vid Chops, be brilliant if you could do a back to back of the "M" and the "S" models 🙂 great work mate keep em coming.

[mididash]

i`ve been using the road 6 thru the uk winter, including off road too, being a die hard Bridgestone user, the 6 has changed my mind . great review, thank you . looks like i`ll be using michelin even more

[vcihluj]

Oh where are the days of Dunlop TT100 or Avon Roadrunner 😂 my old brain can't keep up with all this modern stuff....👍👍

[TheAdventuresofPhilJones]

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! 😁👍

[TexasSteele]

Perfect timing- the 22' H2 SE-SX is ready fer new rubbah'

[aaronmoney]

Just put the 6s on my fireblade, it’s like floating over the ground, turning is ridiculous, worth every penny

[EAtz]

Great review I’m from the PNW, I love the feel and response from Michelin line road 5, power 5, and power GP are just awesome tires predictable on hard corners and grip in wet cold conditions. I’ve used super corsa, rosso 3/4, Dunlop 4 and battlax t30, but my favorite for street are power 5 I’ve yet to try power 6

[yonniboy]

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.

[hyperthunk]

Tyres are such a personal thing - big difference between manufacturers I find! Love Road 6s for wet wether riding and (sport) touring. Got Metzler Sportec M9RRs on my speed triple, absolutely love them for swifter riding.

[radarsh]

I have Road 6GT on my RT and love them. Love Michelin's

[marcusgeorge]

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'm definitely interested in the Power 6's for my old Gixer thou. It's on Pirelli Rosso 3's as that's what the previous owner put on it. But I'm a Michelin fan as a rule, but more of a road rider than track.
