2025 Sport and Hypersport Motorcycle Tyre Test P8 of 12

The Michelin Power 6 is a sport tyre that received qualified praise compared to previous tests. While last year testers praised its increased stability when powering out of corners compared to its predecessor, the punch of the BMW S 1000 RR used in this test appeared to push the tyre to its limits, resulting in noticeable chassis instability. However, in wet conditions, the Power 6 performed impressively well, achieving the third-best wet lap time overall behind only the Dunlop MK4 and Michelin Power GP2. Additionally, the tyre offers formidable handling, high precision, and outstanding wet-weather qualities, making it a viable all-rounder for road use where the dry-condition instability issues are less likely to manifest.
