I've loved my Power 5s so I can't wait to upgrade to these after my current set wears out! The Power 5 is absolutely phenomenal in the rain which is what sold me because I live in the NW U.S. where it rains a lot during the mild winters. Thanks very much for explaining the technical differences and upgrades!!
That’s going to be more of a personal preference question, because Michelin tyres are constructed so much different than Bridgestone’s, so you’ll probably see good reviews on each but as far as a Michelin power series, these are the top of the game and a big step forward… Thanks for your comment
Would you recommend Road 6 over Power 6 for a supersport like Ducati Panigale V4? I'm only riding on road and occasional twisties. Never track. Much appreciated
Road 6 .. are an outstanding tyre … Power 6 is for those that want more grip & lean angle that they lack in the Road 6 … if you haven’t experienced that then Road 6 is the tyre for you …
@@Klubyeezy you may need to confirm this … but … pretty sure that’s ok as I believe that bike recalibrates every time the bike starts moves forward & abs light goes out .. also as some from my knowledge some fit the 195/65R17 on the track with no issues…
@@Klubyeezy Tire calibration is all you have to do. Tire calibration is used to correct for different tire sizes/diameters in the settings menu. Basically, you'll get to 2nd gear and hold 30 or 35 MPH for a few seconds. The screen tells you and lights up when you are running the required speed. Just make sure you find a nice straight flat section of road. You also need to take into account the bike will sit 10mm lower. Another note, don't listen to your Ducati dealership telling you no because it's not "factory". They designed this very feature for you to calibrate it on the track like those pirelli 65 and dunlop 70 profile tires.
Tread lean angles improved , length of Tread Snipes for water displacement, more durable, soft edge rubber covering more of the tyre… Definitely better in the wet … Superior than the 5 at the roughly same price.
I’m looking to put Power 6 tires on my 2023 Triumph Speed Twin 1200 but I’ve bn told that Power 6 is not available in Speed Twin 1200 tire size Wen will it will b available?
Power 6s are available for your Triumph .... here is a link to our website for you ... www.motorcycletyrewarehouse.com.au/michelin-power-6-pair-deal-12070zr17-16060zr17-freedelivery
Is it 2CT+ on the rear and 2CT on the front, like on the Road 5's, or have they given us full 2CT+ for both tires? The 2CT front has a tendency to become too squishy when ridden hard. A big fault with the otherwise flawless Road 5's. They perfected it for road 6, and i was hoping they carried that over to the Power 6 too.
My guess would be that they have, as the Power 6 is a more sport orientated than the Road 6 (it's a class above). The Power 6 may be my next tire. I currently have the Diablo Rosso 2 and they are excellent, although millage not great. I'm also looking into the newer version of it, the Diablo Rosso 4.
@@deedle6073 for the extra price i can asure you that the Road size will last longer than the extra you pay i get over 8k with the rear tyre having fun on twistys and touring thousends of miles on a very Tourque bike Power are a great tyre same as S22 retails but sadly only get 3k at best from them so will let you do the maths on that with the R3 could get more than 10k from set of Road 6 maybe 5k from a power 5/6 if your lucky.. If it rains alot were you are Road 6 i have forgot it was Wet out and still got knee down the rain performance is amazing right from the go Hope this helps cant go wrong with either
I ride a Kawasaki Z400 and push it to the limit. I live in a hot climate and never ride in the rain. Would these be the best for my situation or would the street radials give me most of the performance these would?
Great and informative video 🤩 I'm curious how this compares with the OE tires on the Ducati Diavel, the Pirelli Rosso III. What are the differences between the Michelin Power 6 and the Pirelli Rosso III? Is the Michelin tire on par or is one superior than the other?
Same here…looks like a set of power 6 are about $150 more than the Rosso 3. I wonder if the Power 6 is longer lasting. I have 2,000 on my OE Rosso 3 on my ‘24 Diavel V4
Road 6 is aimed towards all styles and all weather riding targeting naked bikes and sports tourers which includes heavier motorcycles with the emphasis on mileage while still being a good weekend sport tyre … and Power 6 tyres are aimed at sport bike and sport riding and are for those wanting more grip and higher speed cornering ability which may come at the cost of kilometres, but still able to commute on your daily ride.
Man my Michelin power 6 , I’ve had on there for about 3 months , it wore completely down to cords somehow , in a very odd pattern , don’t even have 2k miles on them, and I don’t know how to do burnouts or spin tire , very disappointed
Finally someone who actually has the information I was looking for. Thank you. 👍👍

did you get em? i also have the power 5 and they about to run out, i was thinking upgrading to power 6 or go for contiroadattack 4.
Awesome info. Much appreciated.
Hey thanks .. more coming appreciate the effort to comment…
whats the weight of the power 6, 120/70/17 & 180/55/17?
How do these compare with the s22/23?
That’s going to be more of a personal preference question, because Michelin tyres are constructed so much different than Bridgestone’s, so you’ll probably see good reviews on each but as far as a Michelin power series, these are the top of the game and a big step forward…

I was looking at this tire too but they dont make a 200/60/17 for the power 6 . Only 200/55/17 which i dont know if i step down on my panigale.

Hi How does this compare with the Bridgestone s23?
What’s the difference between power 5 and power 6
Tread lean angles improved , length of Tread Snipes for water displacement, more durable, soft edge rubber covering more of the tyre… Definitely better in the wet … Superior than the 5 at the roughly same price.
Whats the widest for looks and ridability for 1000cc bikes? I want them to be 200mm whether their 190/50 or 190/55. Either that or supercorsas?
Hows the mileage in km can get compared to road 6 ? Last time my road 6 can get around 20 thousand kilometres. How this compare ?
Awesome. What about power 6 compared with power gp, my actual one? Thanks
It’s all about dry grip … power GP is getting into a lap time focus tyre
Hi Do you guys ship over the ditch to NZ Can't get Road 6 over here
If you can find a contact in Australia that can .. happy to deliver free to that address hope that helps …
Just bought a set for my sd1290r haven’t tried them yet but really looking forward to them , normally use Pirelli Diablo’s 😁👍🏼
How did you find them pal

how about power 6 vs S23?

Would these be suitable for a Yamaha R3 for commuting?
For that kind of power Road 6 would be much better choice all round and last alot longer for commuting in all weather
@@PureEvolution Yeah, I was looking at those too, but the price is the highest out of all of them it seems. I'm commuting 95% in the city.

Best value & performance.. look at the STREET RADIALS so similar except the price …

How much 200/70/17 price

The power 5s took to long to heat up what’s so different about this tire…
Man my Michelin power 6 , I’ve had on there for about 3 months , it wore completely down to cords somehow , in a very odd pattern , don’t even have 2k miles on them, and I don’t know how to do burnouts or spin tire , very disappointed
Not even sure how to proceed . I did get a tack through It dead center and had it patched from the inside , I’ve never seen anything like it happen
