Dont buy into the hype - buy another tire
This tire does NOT have the grip of the power 5. I ride like a bit of a hooligan on the street with my Aprilia Tuono v4 1100 and I this tire regularly causes the rear to lose traction while leaning through a corner. They have ruined my riding since I put them on and I can only say its taking too long to wear them out so I can switch back to Pirelli.

TACK TESTED SUPER DUKE 1390 R EVO
Absolutely amazing Tire, I ran these on my 2024 KTM Super duke 1390 R EVO which has 190 WHP at Barber Race track Sunday all Day at least 7 heat cycles they balled up perfectly and still left the track with 50% life left. Will purchase again and recommend for riders looking to rail on the street and on the track.
Perfect for the canyons
If you're torn between tire longevity and maximum grip, the Power 6 is your answer. While the Road 6 is solid, the Power 6 simply delivers more—more performance, more confidence. I've experienced no issues, and they warm up incredibly fast. You'll be amazed by their dry grip, and their wet performance is still excellent. The softer compound on the shoulders makes leaning a truly confidence-inspiring and reliable experience. Given their enhanced grip and lean-happy nature, they won't last forever. I'm at 4,000 miles now and expect another 2,000 before it's time for a new set.
Power 6s on my 20 Tuono V4 RR
Love the Power 6. Amazing grip. confident in wet weather and so far, it's lasting longer than other tires I've had for the first 1500 miles.
Excellent grip and ride characteristics
Got about 5 hours and a couple hundred miles on them today. Because they are brand new I didn't push them very hard until the end of the day, thenI did get fairly aggressive on them towards the end of the day on a twisty road. First, I love the way they handle. They have very light and fast tip in, very good feel as you lean over, and amazing grip, they feel stickier than the S22s did. They make the bike feel lighter and more agile, while still feeling perfectly stable in a straight line. The thing that really surprised me though, was the ride characteristics. My bike has always had a harsh feel on little ripples, cracks and edges, and I haven't been able to tune it out with the clickers. But now, all of that is just gone. The bumps are still there although greatly diminished, but all of the harsh feeling is just gone, they are buttery smooth. It was such a dramatic difference it was shocking. All this time I thought it was my suspension, when it was really the Bridgestone S22s giving it that harshness. I am sold on these Michelin Power 6s, I'll never go back to Bridgestones. Still have about 1 inch chicken strips though, I'll get rid of them next time now that the mold release and gloss is worn off of them. Then I'll really know how they are at the limits. I can't say anything about longevity, I only have 2 hundred miles on them. But if they at least last as long as the Bridgestones I'll be happy. Everyone I know that has used them says they'll last longer, we'll see.
No Match
I have waited many bikes (ten) for a tire that Mitch makes for my ride, and low and behold they make them for my 23 Diavel V4; Thank You!!! These tires blow the OEM off of the face of the map i.e., ride comfort absorbing bumps, and cornering are so noticeable it is glorious!!l For these tires and my Ducati Til death do us part >.<
Love them!
Got these power 6’s put on my zx10r July of 2024. Put about 700-800 miles on them so far. They have been absolutely amazing when it comes to road twisties or even just highway cruising.
Best Tire I Ever Bought
I replaced my Parilli Diablo Rosso III that came stock when i first bought my bike at the dealership and ask them to put my new Michelin power 6 tires on my new bike before i left the dealership and they did, it has been a good decision and never regrated it, it had good grip, and longevity, i love these tires.
Defective tires Michelin won't warranty over silly reason.
Absolute garbage! I used to buy Michelin motorcycle tires because they last a bit longer than other brands. But this is the second set of tires I have purchased IN A ROW from Michelin that are defective. The last set where a set of Power 5's for my Ducati 996. And these Power 6's have the same exact issue. Only this time Michelin support doesn't want to warranty these tires cause Michelin claims I bought the wrong tires for my bike. Because my 2020 Ducati Scrambler - Cafe Racer isn't listed on Michelin's web site. They're claiming that they don't make tires that is compatible for my bike. I bought 180/55-17 rear and 120/70-17 front. This is what bike Ducati Scrambler Cafe Racer uses. But because Michelin is too incompetent to do proper research on motorcycles brands and sub models. They just choose to believe that my motorcycle doesn't exist, and I don't know anything about motorcycles. Absolutely floored about how unprofessional this company has become. I will never buy anything Michelin makes again. Buyers beware, if your motorcycle isn't on the list, buy tires that's the right size but not recommended by them, or if you're a custom motorcycle builder and build one off cafe racers for choppers. Michelin won't help you if they sell you a defective product.
Buy Now You Won't Regret
