Michelin Starcross 5 Medium is a high-performance motocross tyre engineered for intermediate terrain. It offers precise handling and impressive traction on soft to medium tracks, with a lighter construction for improved feedback and control. Designed for competitive riders, it’s also forgiving enough for club-level racers and serious trail riders.
Ideal For
Terrain & Conditions
Intermediate dirt tracks, motocross circuits, forest trails, and mixed soft-to-medium terrain. Not suitable for hardpack or deep sand/mud.
Rider Types
Motocross racers, enduro riders, and off-road enthusiasts who prioritise control and traction in variable trail and race conditions.
Motorcycle Types
Best for off-road motorcycles and competition machines like KTM SX-F, Honda CRF, Yamaha YZ, or Husqvarna TC series.
Performance
Handles light to moderate mud well due to self-cleaning tread, but not suited for deep or sticky mud where more aggressive tyres are needed.
Works fine on compact gravel sections, though it’s not designed for fast gravel travel or loose stone tracks. Not its ideal terrain.
Performs capably on slippery intermediate terrain like damp grass or clay. The block pattern provides consistent grip with good feel under throttle.
Not road-legal and not built for tarmac. Will wear quickly and offer minimal safety or comfort if used on pavement.
Lacks siping and compound needed for wet roads. Should not be used in wet urban environments or wet tarmac transitions.
Durability
Durable for off-road competition use. Stands up to the abuse of jumps, braking bumps, and rutted tracks without rapid wear.
Designed for off-road use only. Street wear is rapid and uneven due to soft compound and aggressive tread.
