Continetal will show on the EICMA in Milano the NEW RoadAttack 2 EVO ............

High-grade premium tyre with optimised grip in the wet.

Based on the highly successful ContiRoadAttack 2, the EVO offers riders even better levels of performance, in the wet thanks to:

More sophisticated tread pattern designed with more pronounced drainage which cuts through water and enhances rider feedback
Higher percentage silica compound
The tyre also features the tried and tested multi-grip technology which offers extended mileage and maximum grip at extreme lean angles. Mileage is also boosted thanks to the use of a 14.7% deeper rear tread when compared with the ContiRoadAttack 2.

Our TractionSkin technology makes for an extremely safe and short breaking-in period by giving the surface of the tyre a micro rough skin which increases initial levels of grip.

The patented zero degree belt technology offers excellent straight line stability at speed, perfect for meeting the combined touring bike demands of safety and comfort.

The ContiRoadAttack 2 has been singled out many times for its outstanding handling characteristics, and these are still evident in the EVO version.

Michelin will bring to market two new motorcycle tyres designed for road use.

The new MICHELIN Pilot Road 3 range will target users of sport touring bikes while a new version of the MICHELIN Power Pure sports tyre will be added to the current lineup.

Spearheading the sport touring lineup, the Cwas designed to deliver superior grip in all conditions of use – whether on wet or damp – as well as outstanding total mileage. The tyre reflects MICHELIN’s across-the-board R&D strategy of improving individual tyre performance characteristics without sacrificing others. In this instance, MICHELIN

Technology centre engineers developed X Sipe Technology (XST), which integrates unique dual-action sipes into the tread. The sipe ribs first cut through the surface of the water, which is then evacuated faster and more effectively toward the outside of the tyre through wide grooves.

In addition to its grip, the MICHELIN Pilot Road 3 also offers improved longevity by combining the MICHELIN XST technology and the tyre maker’s latest-generation dual-compound tread, called MICHELIN 2CT.

Nine sizes of the tyre will be available in January 2011, with seven others to be introduced between February and August.

New MICHELIN® Scorcher® "11" radial tires are original equipment on 2011 Sportster SuperLow®, V-Rod®, V-Rod Muscle® and V-Rod Night Rod® Special motorcycles, with approved fitments for additional model years.
 
Outstanding Grip: Semi-slick tread pattern maximizes the contact patch for excellent adhesion on dry roads. Optimized tread groove design efficiently evacuates water for dependable wet grip.
Excellent Tread Life: Derived from Michelin’s championship-winning racing tires, newly developed rubber compounds combine durability and high performance.
Precise Handling: The latest generation of Michelin radial technology allows for easy maneuverability and impressive agility at highway speeds
 

new size 140/75 R17 and 200/55 R17 can be used now  from the  Harley-Davidson Fat Boy
Especial for the new Modells Fat Boy Special and Screaming Eagle Fat Boy.

CONTI ROADATTACK 2 IN "C" FOR BMW >>
 


The ContiRoadAttack 2 from Europe's leading tyre manufacturer Continental is a new development for sports bikes and sports touring bikes. Continental's development engineers in Korbach in the German federal state of Hesse have adapted the tyre tread and compound to accommodate the latest findings in tyre technology, which means that this tyre achieves more grip on wet roads and more on dry asphalt than its popular predecessor. Handling and mileage performance has also been increased.

These results were achieved through a range of design measures in tyre development. Continental Traction Skin Technology, for example, uses a special coating in the tyre mould to prevent the release agents required when 'baking' the tyre in the mould from remaining on the tyre afterwards. The running-in time needed for the tyre is therefore safe and extremely short. This makes the new ContiRoadAttack 2 the first tyre to offer complete riding safety as soon as it is fitted.

The new tyre offers a further safety benefit on sports bikes and sports touring bikes, thanks to its 'Continuous Compound Technology' - the combination of a soft compound on the sidewall with harder rubber across the middle of the tread increases safety during cornering, without having to sacrifice high mileage performance. The use of 'Black Chili Compound' containing silica and carbon black, as used in the racing world, means faster heat build-up, something that is important for grip, especially on wet roads. The tyre structure was also redesigned to achieve greater riding dynamics and grip. This involved marrying the steel belt casing with the special tyre contour to further enhance safe handling and precise steering response.

The new ContiRoadAttack 2 will be available from the tyre trade at the start of the 2010 season. Continental will be producing the tyre in six sizes for the front axle and seven for the rear. Approvals have already been obtained for over 250 bikes (from manufacturers including BMW, Honda, Kawasaki and Yamaha).
