While the full version of Michelin’s new MotoGP front tyre won’t be available to race with until 2025, some next generation compounds are being readied for next season.
Michelin is introducing new technology compounds and a bigger front tyre construction for 2025 in MotoGP. The goal is to address issues of overheating and pressure rise when following other bikes. Soft and medium 2024 compounds were available for testing at the recent Valencia test, and riders expressed positive feedback. The 2025 front tyre is specifically designed to handle the increased forces generated by aero, ride-height devices, and bigger brakes in MotoGP. It will be introduced in two stages: first with the new compound technology in 2024, then with the new construction in 2025. The 2025 tyre has already been validated by test riders and will be tested again in the next official pre-season tests in Sepang and Qatar.
