Introducing the all new #TKC70. Our customers across the globe have asked for it, we listened, and now its finally here being unveiled to the motorcycling world as we go to press!

Sitting right in the middle of the more off-road oriented #TKC80 Twinduro and the increasingly popular #ContiTrailAttack2 this is the ideal tyre for big adventure bike riders who do most of their riding on the road but still need a tyre that is well capable when taken off the beaten track.

This week we have been doing our very best to hide 30 big adventure bikes from the public in preparation for the international launch of the all new Continental TKC 70.

Recent changes to Germany’s  drivers’ license regulations have had a positive effect on the growth of the midsize-motorcycle market segment.

Up to now, the most commonly used tire size combination for this segment, 120/70 and 160/60-17, has not been available in the “M+S” marked version which German law requires for winter conditions.

To fill the gap in this growing market, Heidenau will introduce the already popular Heidenau K73 pattern in a special winter-version with “M+S”-marking. As all HEIDENAU motorcycle winter tires, these new tires will be manufactured using high-grade silica compounds  to minimize braking distances and maximize grip on cold and wet road surfaces.

The combination of carcass, compound and open tread design ensures the traction required for winter conditions including mud and/or snow.

The tires will be on the market in mid October.

sizes:

120/70-17 M/C 58H TL K73 M+S SiO2
160/60-17 M/C 69H TL K73 M+S SiO2

Metzeler will unveil their new sport touring Tourance™ Next tyres together with the BMW R 1200 GS (E93) at the Intermot exhibition which will be held from 3 to 7 October in Cologne, Germany.

Metzeler has been a BMW development partner for the GS family since 1980 with street enduro products and since 1999 with the Tourance™ family products.

The new Tourance™ Next is the third generation of the Tourance range and was specifically designed for latest generation street enduro and adventure touring bikes.
The new sizes of the Tourance™ Next as original equipment on the BMW R 1200 GS will be the 120/70 R19 M/C and the 170/60 R17 M/C and they were developed directly in cooperation
with the Bavarian manufacturer.
Tourance™ Next sets the new standard for the segment where grip on wet roads is concerned as well as in terms of safety thanks to the new compounds developed for the front and rear
which work in synergy with new grooves arranged optimally on the tread.
This tyre can therefore guarantee excellent grip in the wet, conveying a sensation of total safety to the rider in any condition, even when the asphalt is dirty and slippery.
The structure and profiles of the new Tourance™ Next were specifically designed for large new concept enduro bikes with particular attention to guaranteeing excellent stability even at
high speeds and with the bike loaded down with top box and passenger.
In fact, the profiles were designed to absorb bumps in the asphalt in order to provide greater vehicle stability and for optimal interaction with the ABS and braking system.

The particularly resistant structure of the carcass creates a rigidity which translates into greater and easier handling of the bike.
The combination and interaction of the new tread and latest generation compounds result in a significant improvement compared to its predecessors in the Tourance™ family in terms of mileage thanks to better and more even tread wear.

The innovative tyre, which will be sold from 2014 as exclusive original equipment on the new electric scooter from BMW, minimises roll resistance in favour of greater energy savings

The new scooter tyre from Metzeler Feelgreen has already been chosen as original equipment by BMW for it’s electric C evolution scooter, unveiled today at the international press conference and which will be used by some journalists at the Olympic Games to move around the area. The new electric scooter from BMW will be fitted with the following set of Metzeler Feelgreen tyres: 120/70 -15 (56S) FEELGREEN on the front and 160/60 R15 FEELGREEN on the rear.
There are many factors which affect the energy or fuel consumption of a two-wheeled vehicle and the tyres play a crucial role. Consumption is based on the concept that, in order to move a tyre forward, energy is required. The new Feelgreen from Metzeler was designed to guarantee low energy dissipation. Metzeler engineers worked hard to reduce the weight of the tyre by 17% and the rolling resistance by more than 25% compared to the Metzeler Feelfree. The rolling resistance figure could be even higher once the current perfecting phase ends. The Feelgreen riding performance maintains the characteristic elements that Metzeler products are famous for: quick warm-up and excellent handling, which is indispensable for city riding.
