EIGHT BRANDS, 11 MODELS, TWO CATEGORIES  - This time eight tire manufactures stepped up to the plate, including Avon, Bridgestone, Continental, Dunlop, Michelin, Metzeler, Pirelli and Shinko. We asked each to submit one or more samples of its current sport rubber designed for highperformance street riding (not racing) in 120/70-17 front and 190/55-17 rear fitment for a 2014 Suzuki GSX-R1000. We then divided the models into two categories: ‘A’ and ‘B’. The A group are the premium, top-of-the-line tires in each manufacturer’s respective line-up, while the B group represent a more affordable, but still capable sport tire solution.
 

PIRELLI DIABLO SUPERCORSA SP  "This is the tire. The first thing I noticed is how tall the rear tire was. It really modifies the dynamic of the motorcycle. It puts more weight on the front and helps its steering response. What more can you ask for? Immediate warm-up time, incredible Velcro-like grip through all parts of the turn with loads of that precious feel that makes you want to push the bike harder. My favorite tire of the bunch and the one that I’d mount on my bike for performance riding."


120/70 ZR17 (58W) DIABLO SUPERCORSA SP V2
190/55 R17 (75W) DIABLO SUPERCORSA SP V2

The brand with the elephant logo, announced the arrival of the new range of Vintage and Classic products with an international press conference at the Cologne Motorcycle Show

SPORTEC™ Klassik is the new METZELER tyre in the Classic segment for owners of motorcycles built from the 70s. A segment #METZELER has always shown a great deal of attention, as proven by the current Vintage and #Classic range which includes products such as the Perfect ME 11, Perfect ME 77, ME 22, Block C and Lasertec.

Bound to a technology that, although still valid, could not fully benefit from the rapid development of the last decade, these motorcycles are often at a disadvantage compared to most modern machines equipped with the most sophisticated safety systems and cutting-edge tyres.
The tyres of these machines have many diverse sizes which are now rarely used in new street and touring motorcycles, and for this reason they are often neglected in the design of new products by the tyre manufacturers.

Bridgestone has added the Ecopia low-rolling-resistance tyre to the Battlax SC line-up for maxi scooters. The new Battlax SC Ecopia provides a maintained high-level handling, stability, wear life and comfort as the standard Battlax SC, but with the advantage of greater fuel efficiency due to improvements in rolling resistance of 15%.

“With the new Battlax SC Ecopia, riders of maxi scooters can save fuel but still have total confidence and enjoy the ride” says Vincent Van Houtte, Senior Manager Motorcycle Tyre Products, Bridgestone Europe.

Mitas will also introduce new sizes of tyres for scooters. The new dimensions of MC38 MAX SCOOT, the front option for Honda new scooter models Vision and NSC, are 80/90 -14 (40P) and 80/90 -16 (45P)

Grippy compound:
New multi-functional compound has been developed to improve a dry and wet road grip
Owing to its special composition the compound quickly warms up to an optimum working temperature and provides for a road grip in all conditions and on various surfaces
The compound in combination with a rigid and stable carcass  assures  a longer service life of a tyre
All components are well blended thanks to a special mixing procedure. Well-blended components assure a homogenous compound, tyre structure and shape, which further results in a lower rolling resistance and fuel consumption.

First seen at the Intermot fair in Cologne, 1st to 5th October 2014, the new Battlax Adventure A40 expands the all-weather potential of trail radials for the great number of bikers who ride their adventure machines primarily for on-road touring.
By fusing the MotoGP heritage of the Battlax brand with the proven performance of Battle Wing tyres, Bridgestone has created an Adventure tyre that delivers enhanced traction and stability, particularly on wet surfaces, and greater durability.

An evolution of the V01, the Battlax V02 from Bridgestone is a real podium contender. It promises to deliver faster lap times and longer tyre life for superbike riders, and is derived directly from their MotoGP experience using the latest construction and compound technologies.

The rear tyre”s new GP-belt construction takes grip and stability to an all new level by optimising the contact patch and increasing contact pressure. The new soft compound provides additional grip across the entire temperature range, increasing warm-up performance and giving riders a safe and confident feeling. During testing the Battlax V02′s consistency and improved grip delivered lap times which were over 1 second faster than the current V01.

BRIDGESTONE BATTLAX SLICK

The aim of the upgrade of Battlax Racing R10 is to provide faster lap times by improving the front tyre cornering speed and adding traction grip and consistency to the rear. To reach these targets, Bridgestone optimized the construction of the front (size 120/70R17) to provide a 10% bigger contact patch, which increases lateral grip. This extra cornering grip gives the rider more flexibility in the choice of line and an earlier clipping point, leading to faster exits and quicker cornering. At the same time, optimization of the rear compound gives the Battlax Racing R10 EVO a noticeable side and traction grip across the whole temperature range, longer tyre life and more consistent performance compared to its predecessor.
