Recently, Harley Davidson approved the latest Dunlop GT 502 for its new XL1200 CX Roadster. These two new GT502 sizes feature an all-new radial construction that is designed to suit the sportier nature of the latest Roadster with its dynamic suspension and upgraded braking components.

Harley-Davidson selects MICHELIN SCORCHER 21 as exclusive tire supplier for its new Harley Davidson Street Rod model.

Harley-Davidson choice to equip its latest Street Rod model with the new MICHELIN Scorcher® 21 is the latest illustration of the mutual confidence and synergies that have flourished between the two companies since 2007 through a partnership founded on the co-development of advanced technologies.

To make sure that it addresses the new Harley-Davidson motorcycle’s technical configuration and owners’ needs as accurately as possible, the MICHELIN Scorcher® 21 necessitated two years of development. The result is a tire that combines outstanding grip on wet roads, stability and smart cruiser styling.

              Available sizes:
front    120/70 R17 (58V)
rear   160/60 R17 (69V) 

 

 

ContiTour is the brand new tyre for riders of big custom bikes, cruisers and choppers. Again, the tread pattern offers efficient drainage properties for excellent grip on wet roads.

On the rear tyre, a central band with no tread boosts mileage returns and limits tread movement for increased stability under acceleration.

A brand new compound formula has been designed and tested by our experienced team to deliver excellent mileage and consistent performance throughout the life of the tyre.

The ContiLegend white-wall tyre is based on our popular Milestone, which will already be familiar to many custom and cruiser riders. The vintage tread pattern and whitewall design hide some of the very latest tyre technologies.

An improved version of MileagePlus delivers more miles and increased consistency throughout the life of the tyre, whereas the multi-groove tread pattern has been optimised to deliver excellent water drainage properties for improved performance in wet conditions.

A specially engineered carcass delivers supreme comfort and superb handling even on the heaviest of machines.

First up and making its world debut is the new Battlecruise H50 custom tyre – specially developed to give you maximum pleasure on your American V-Twin. Bridgestone deployed its top two-wheel tyre technologies to develop H50, targeting easy handling, top grip on wet and dry, and long wear life.

The Battlecruise H50s on display at Intermot are fitted on a Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight customised by Thunderbike – one of the kings of the custom business in Europe.
