Continental is launching the ContiMotion EVO, the highly anticipated successor to its popular ContiMotion sport-touring tire. Packing a variety of product innovations, this new tire is designed specifically for riders who value a perfect balance of riding excitement, maximum safety, and impressive mileage.
"With the ContiMotion EVO, we are offering a highly versatile sport-touring tire," says Christoph Ettenhuber, Head of Business Field Motorcycle Tires at Continental. "It combines an intuitive riding feel with reliable grip in both wet and dry conditions—all while delivering everyday mileage you can count on."
Compared to its predecessor, the ContiMotion EVO delivers a range of technical enhancements. Brand-new carcass materials provide additional stability and consistency, resulting in better handling and far more agile riding dynamics. This is perfectly complemented by an updated compound designed to elevate performance on both wet and dry roads.
The Continental ContiMotion EVO stands out thanks to four core characteristics:
Intuitive and Agile Handling: Continental's EasyHandling technology and an optimized tire construction ensure precise and predictable steering reactions at all times, maximizing your riding fun.
Maximum Confidence: An optimized hybrid-silica tread compound guarantees reliable grip, whether the road is bone-dry or soaking wet.
High Mileage: An advanced rubber compound and a specially developed tread pattern deliver long-lasting performance.
High-Speed Stability: The proven ZeroDegree steel belt construction, combined with new carcass materials, keeps the bike completely stable at high speeds.
"The ContiMotion EVO has been updated in all the crucial areas without losing the well-known, fundamental qualities of its predecessor," explains Ettenhuber. "Riders will directly benefit from a noticeably more agile tire."
The ContiMotion EVO is expertly engineered for both sporty weekend blasts and long-distance touring enthusiasts. It is an excellent fit for a wide variety of motorcycles, including the BMW R12 nineT, Triumph Daytona 660, Ducati Supersport 950, Honda CB 650R, Suzuki GSX-8TT, and Yamaha MT-09. As Ettenhuber notes, the tire perfectly suits a "wide range of popular naked bikes, roadsters, and modern classics."

Meet the Dunlop ScootSmart 2—now officially available at myNETmoto!
Dunlop didn't just make minor tweaks to the original, fan-favorite ScootSmart. They completely overhauled the tire by integrating advanced technologies normally reserved for their full-size, premium motorcycle touring tires. The result is a highly durable, incredibly grippy scooter tire designed to handle whatever the city streets throw at you.
Fine Particle Silica Compound: The ScootSmart 2 utilizes a brand-new, silica-rich rubber formula that actively conforms to small bumps and uneven road surfaces. This upgrade delivers a 10% reduction in wet braking distance and a 20% overall performance improvement in wet conditions.
Optimized Tread Pattern & Flex Sipes: The updated tread design features high-volume center and longitudinal grooves that efficiently channel water away from the tire footprint. Innovative "flex sipes" have also been added to optimize rigidity, giving you sharp, solid road feedback during tight corners.
Advanced Polyester Carcass: A completely redesigned profile paired with a new polyester carcass provides highly compliant, nimble handling while maintaining robust high-speed stability.
Specialized Sidewall Compound: City streets are notoriously rough, so Dunlop engineered a specialized sidewall compound that absorbs impacts and takes overall riding comfort to the next level.
Exceptional Mileage: The combination of the updated tread pattern and wear-resistant compound technology ensures a longer lifespan, meaning excellent value and fewer tire changes for daily commuters.
Whether you pilot a lightweight 50cc commuter or a heavy-duty maxi-scooter, the ScootSmart 2 is engineered to scale with your needs. Dunlop offers this new tire in a massive variety of popular sizes, spanning from 10-inch up to 16-inch wheel diameters.

The first tire test of 2026 focuses on sport tires in sizes 120/70 ZR17 and 190/55 ZR17
Five pairs – Bridgestone S23, Dunlop Sportsmart MK 4, Michelin Power 6, Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV and Metzeler Sportec 01 –
cover 2,200 km on a BMW S 1000 XR and then compete again in dry and wet tests.
Bridgestone S23 - GOOD - Conclusion: The Bridgestone S23 performs very well in many areas when new. However, with increasing mileage,
the gap to the competition widens because it wears the most. The Japanese manufacturer urgently needs to improve this aspect.
Dunlop Sportsmart MK 4 - VERY GOOD - Conclusion: The Dunlop Sportsmart MK4 comes very close to squaring the circle. Top performance on country roads, top performance in wet conditions, and top wear resistance! It earns a well-deserved test victory for this truly all-around performance.
Michelin Power 6 - GOOD - Conclusion: When it comes to excellent country road performance and playful handling, the Power 6 is a great option. Its slow wear is a further advantage and ensures consistent driving characteristics.
Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV - GOOD - Conclusion: The Pirelli Rosso IV is a sporty tire with high driving stability and excellent performance on country roads and in wet conditions. Those who prefer "very fast" to "comfortable" will be happy with this Italian tire.
Metzeler Sportec 01 - GOOD - Conclusion: "Veni, vidi, vici" didn't apply this year. The Munich-based company will have to swallow this bitter pill and then make improvements. The wear on the rear tire, in particular, negatively impacts handling and costs valuable points.
Continental SportAttack 5 - The Conti SportAttack 5 arrived too late for this test, but it is available in stores now. Only the 200/55 ZR17 size will be available in March.
Engineered for intermediate-to-hard terrain, this highly anticipated motocross tire is designed to deliver consistent, predictable performance across the conditions riders face most.
Built on the proven foundation of the MX34 and MX53 platforms, the Dunlop Geomax MX54 expands terrain versatility while improving grip, durability, and control as tracks dry and evolve throughout the day.
Next-Generation Tire Technology
The Dunlop Geomax MX54 is packed with innovative features tailored for competitive racing and demanding conditions:
Multiple Block Distribution (MBD): This technology enhances ground contact feel and predictability under load, resulting in significantly improved rider feedback and control.
Advanced Cornering: The integration of Progressive Cornering Block Technology (PCBT Advanced) improves cornering grip, slide control, and traction on hard-packed terrain.
High-Resilience Rubber Compound (H-RRC): Utilized on select rear sizes, this specialized compound enhances traction, durability, and performance longevity under high loads.
Ultimately, the Geomax MX54 delivers balanced performance across race conditions, guaranteeing optimal traction, cornering grip, durability, and predictability from the start line to the finish line.
A comprehensive range of front sizes (from 10-inch to 21-inch) and rear sizes (from 10-inch to 19-inch) are now available.
Riders can secure their set of Dunlop Geomax MX54 tires today by visiting the myNETmoto online shop.
With the new Sportmax GP (D213), Dunlop is launching the next evolutionary step for ambitious racers and track day riders in the first quarter of 2026. This tire was specifically developed to deliver maximum track performance without having to resort to slicks.
Highlights at a glance:
World Champion Technology: The Sportmax GP benefits directly from the expertise behind the legendary Dunlop KR109 and KR108 slicks. It adopts their carcass and contour technology for precise handling and stability.
Next-Gen Compounds: The newly developed compounds offer an extremely wide operating temperature range. The result is a consistently high level of grip that lasts from the first session to the checkered flag.
Made in France: Highest manufacturing quality from the Dunlop factory in France.
Quiet Comfort. Commanding Performance.
According to Michelin, the Anakee Adventure 2 is engineered to deliver a superior riding experience that is quiet, comfortable, and powerful—both on the asphalt and off the beaten path.

Bridgestone Corporation (Bridgestone) today announced that it will launch the premium sports motorcycle tyre Bridgestone BATTLAX RACING STREET RS12 in January 2026 for the European and markets. Under the concept of “From Circuit to Street”, by incorporating race tyre technology, the BATTLAX RACING STREET RS12 delivers the highest level of dry grip performance in the road-legal tyre lineup of BATTLAX.
Key technologies featured in the BATTLAX RACING STREET RS12
Incorporating technologies proven through continued success in motorcycle endurance races, the new BATTLAX RACING STREET RS12 delivers comprehensive improvements in circuit performance, with a particular emphasis on dry grip. The lap time is significantly reduced compared to the previous model, the BATTLAX RACING STREET RS11. In addition, by optimizing the combination of compound, tread pattern design and structure, the tyre maintains high grip performance even after multiple laps. As a result, it provides riders with safety, peace of mind and enjoyment across a wide range of riding conditions - from sporty riding on dry roads to winding roads and circuit tracks.
With the new Continental TKC 802, Continental presents the all-new second generation of its legendary TKC 80 motorcycle tire after four decades and sets new standards for the travel enduro and adventure motorcycle segment. The demand for off-road experiences is growing worldwide – an increasing number of motorcyclists are seeking challenges away from the road. At the same time, big and more powerful adventure bikes are placing the highest demands on tires: more road performance; more traction; more adventure. As the strongest off-road product in Continental's Motorcycle Tire portfolio, the TKC 802 offers a feeling of freedom without compromise.
Continental motorcycle tires are redefining performance. The new ContiSportAttack 5 is the latest generation of supersport tires for those who seek maximum driving dynamics without compromise. Developed on the racetrack; perfected for the road – the ContiSportAttack 5 delivers outstanding grip, superior cornering, precise steering response and lightning-fast warm-up. This latest evolution of the supersport tire will be available in the first quarter of 2026.
The ContiSportAttack 5 is even sportier than its predecessor, the ContiSportAttack 4, and is designed as an 80/20 tire for the supersport segment. This makes it the ideal choice for riders who want to get the most out of their (super) sport and naked motorcycles – both on winding country roads and during occasional racetrack training sessions.
Bridgestone will launch its track-only premium motorcycle tyre, the Bridgestone RACING BATTLAX V03, to the European and North American markets in 2026.
The new Bridgestone RACING BATTLAX V03 is designed for both professional and amateur riders who pursue speed and the highest levels of grip.
The latest addition to Bridgestone’s motorcycle tyre range incorporates technologies refined through years of success in the world’s most prestigious racing events, delivering exceptional grip. And, for the first time, Bridgestone introduces a rear ‘SPRINT spec’, providing a wide range of options according to race type and track conditions.
Unrivalled Grip in BATTLAX History
The new Bridgestone RACING BATTLAX V03 is equipped with newly-developed compounds based on technology that has continuously triumphed in the world’s top-tier races – including the FIM Endurance World Championship, which has been won by a Bridgestone-supplied team for five consecutive years.
The tyre applies a completely redesigned profile for both the front and rear tyres, resulting in an increased contact area. In particular, the rear tyre adopts advanced production techniques, achieving an optimal profile that significantly improves lap times.
Thanks to these innovations, the Bridgestone RACING BATTLAX V03 delivers overwhelming grip, significantly reducing lap times when compared to its predecessor, the RACING BATTLAX V02. Comparing the SOFT compound performances of both tyres, the RACING BATTLAX V03 reduces lap times by 1.3 per cent per lap – while still maintaining the typical Bridgestone DNA of high grip even after multiple laps.
Metzeler is set to command the spotlight at EICMA 2025, unveiling three highly anticipated new tyres that are poised to elevate performance across the supersport and adventure segments.
The brand will feature the new supersport Metzeler SPORTEC 01 and its sportier sibling, the Metzeler SPORTEC 01 RS, alongside the adventure-ready Metzeler KAROO 4 Street enduro on/off tyre. Motorcycle enthusiasts can check out the new lineup at Booth i54 in Pavilion 5 of EICMA in Milan, running from November 4-9, 2025.
For over a decade, the Metzeler SPORTEC line has been the benchmark for supersport tyres, celebrated for its versatility, high performance, and exceptional wet-weather grip—a heritage built on extensive road racing experience, including the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy.
The new SPORTEC 01 and SPORTEC 01 RS are engineered to continue this successful tradition. Developed for sporty riders demanding high performance and reliability, both models introduce the enhanced, patented DYNATREAD™ technology to the supersport field. This innovation provides an adaptive tread pattern that significantly improves grip and high-speed stability.
SPORTEC 01: Serving as the direct successor to the SPORTEC M9 RR, this tyre is designed for aggressive road use. It offers riders control in all conditions, providing superior mileage and better wet-weather performance compared to the RS version.
SPORTEC 01 RS: The most extreme, road-legal version of the 01, the RS is built to deliver maximum grip and is perfectly suited for track day enthusiasts. It allows riders to enjoy the highest level of sport riding on the street and head straight to the circuit without the hassle of changing tyres or transporting their bike.
Meeting the surging demand from the Adventure motorcycle market, the new KAROO 4 Street joins the acclaimed Metzeler KAROO family. Designed for modern high-end adventure and maxi enduro bikes, this tyre is optimised for 70% road and 30% off-road use, succeeding the KAROO Street.
The KAROO 4 Street maintains a rugged, knobbly aesthetic while focusing on excellent on-road performance in both dry and wet conditions, coupled with competent off-road capability on dirt roads. Riders of modern Adventure bikes looking for stability, comfort, and good mileage will appreciate its features, which include:
Improved on-road handling thanks to new profiles.
More uniform wear achieved through greater separation of the central knobs.
Enhanced acoustic comfort from a multi-pitch knob design.
Better off-road traction on softer terrain compared to its predecessor.
These three new tyres will be integrated into the Metzeler 2026 range and are scheduled to be available for purchase in the first months of next year, with exact timing varying by region.
Dunlop Launches All-New Dunlop Geomax EN92 Enduro Tire
Dunlop has unveiled its new Geomax EN92 enduro tire, designed to give riders better performance and versatility on a wide variety of off-road terrain. The Geomax EN92 replaces the popular Geomax EN91 and is available in two different compounds: the standard Geomax EN92 for medium conditions and the Geomax EN92 SOFT for wet, rocky, and root-filled trails.
The new tires were developed using insights from Dunlop's long history in top-level off-road racing, a legacy that includes numerous wins at the 6DAYS FIM Enduro of Nations and other championships. The Geomax EN92 is engineered to provide excellent grip, traction, and compliance, making it suitable for both professional racers and weekend riders.
The Geomax EN92 features several key innovations to improve its performance:
Softer Profile: A more rounded sidewall increases rider comfort and compliance over rough terrain.
Improved Front Tire: The front tire features an optimized block layout with a reduced land ratio for better grip on hard, rocky surfaces. Progressive Cornering Block Technology (PCBT) helps the tire dig into dirt and improves cornering grip.
Advanced Rear Tire: The rear tire includes V-Block Technology (V-BT) for exceptional traction and control, and Reinforced Scoop Technology (RST) to help the tire dig into soft ground. It also uses PCBT to increase flexibility and improve grip when leaning.
These technologies work together to deliver better grip, predictability, and compliance in both dry and wet conditions.
The new Geomax EN92 line-up will be available in Europe starting in early 2026, with Geomax Mousse puncture-proof inserts available in late 2025 and early 2026.
