Avon presented his new Avon TrailRider 2 adventure motorcycle tire 2027 on the EICMA in Milano
The Trailrider 2 - 80% / 20% Adventure motorcycle will be available from January 2027 in 20 different sizes.
You can already discern Dunlop’s signature in the tread design, as the pattern bears a slight resemblance to the Dunlop Mixtour.
Pirelli presents the PIRELLI ANGEL GT III, the new radial Sport Touring tire that, compared to its predecessors, combines improved low-effort handling with enhanced wet behavior and more consistent performance throughout its entire life cycle, all while preserving Pirelli's sporty DNA. Compared to other products in the ANGEL family, the ANGEL GT III rear tire has been designed to offer better durability levels and reduced rolling noise, which benefits overall comfort thanks to a new tread pattern. Finally, the product features a new high-contrast sidewall with the ANGEL symbol and "Gran Turismo" lettering.
The ANGEL GT III picks up the legacy of the ANGEL family, which over the last fifteen years has contributed to evolving the segment standards for motorcyclists seeking a balance between sportiness, riding pleasure, and an aptitude for long journeys. Available starting in early 2027, the ANGEL GT III represents the fourth generation of the family, inaugurated by the ANGEL ST and later evolved with the ANGEL GT and ANGEL GT II. The range has supported Pirelli's progressive expansion in the radial Sport Touring segment, one of the most relevant in the European market. Each generation has introduced significant technological and performance advancements, earning growing appreciation from users and helping consolidate the brand's presence in the segment.
With the Continental Trail Attack 4, Continental is launching the successor to its extremely successful adventure tire, the ContiTrailAttack 3. The new 90/10 tire builds on the strengths of its predecessor and takes them a step further – for riders who spend most of their time on tarmac but want to be ready for the occasional detour off paved roads.
The ContiTrailAttack 4 offers the following key features:
For adventure riders who spend the majority of their miles carving up the tarmac, Bridgestone has just unveiled your next set of rubber. Launching globally on January 1, 2027, the all-new Bridgestone BATTLAX ADVENTURE A42 is designed to take the best elements of its highly successful predecessor the A41 and push them even further.
Over the last decade, the European adventure motorcycle tire market has grown by 45%, with a massive portion of riders prioritizing street handling, safety in the wet, and high mileage. Bridgestone’s A42 directly targets these demands with serious performance upgrades across the board.
Key Upgrades Over the A41: vs A42 TRAIL
Superior Wet Performance: The A42 reduces tire slip ratio under straight-line acceleration by 14%, offering exceptional stability and peace of mind when you get caught in sudden downpours.
Massive Boost in Wear Life: Bridgestone has increased wear life by 18% on the front tire and an impressive 25% on the rear, keeping you on the road for longer tours without worrying about early replacement.
Quieter, More Comfortable Ride: A 15% reduction in tire noise translates to drastically reduced rider fatigue on long-distance highway stretches.
While riders may not always be interested in the technical details of tires, choosing the right one is essential to unlocking the full potential of modern adventure bikes. With launch sizes ranging from 2027 to 2028, the Battlax A42 is aimed directly at the market leaders:
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."

ContiScoot: Over 30 Tire Sizes for Urban Mobility and Your Daily Commute
Extensive Portfolio: Over 30 tire sizes from 10 to 16 inches for almost any scooter.
Versatile Application: Suitable for popular scooter models – from 50cc city runabouts to powerful 350cc maxi-scooters.
Top Features: Strong performance in wet grip, cold grip, handling, and comfort.
With the ContiScoot, Continental offers an absolute premium scooter tire specifically tailored for the tough demands of city riding and the daily commute. The comprehensive portfolio, featuring over 30 tire sizes (10 to 16 inches), covers a broad spectrum of engine classes from 50 to 350 cubic centimeters.
"With over 30 available sizes, the ContiScoot is a fitting option for almost every scooter model," explains Sagren Nair, Product Manager for Motorcycle Tires at Continental. "Our goal is to make urban mobility safer, more comfortable, and more versatile."
The Perfect Upgrade for Your City and Commuter Scooter
The ContiScoot is aimed at riders who use their scooters intensively – whether for the daily commute to work, running errands in the city, or relaxed trips in the surrounding areas. The tire is an ideal fit for large-wheel scooters (e.g., with 120/70 -15 front and 140/70 -14 rear) such as the Honda Forza 125 /350, Yamaha XMAX 125 /300, BMW C 400 X, or VOGE SR4 MAX 350.
But compact cult scooters with 12-inch tires (e.g., 120/70 -12 front, 130/70 -12 rear) like the Vespa GTS 125 Super / Vespa GTS 300 or the Kymco Like II 125i also benefit enormously from the ContiScoot's performance. Even for modern e-scooters, such as the Niu MQi GT 100, the right dimension is readily available.
Safety and Performance in Wet, Cold, and Dense Traffic
Today, scooters are fully-fledged everyday vehicles. Continental has therefore transferred its years of experience from the motorcycle segment to the ContiScoot to create tires that perform reliably in all weather conditions:
Excellent Wet Grip: The special rubber compound and tread design ensure short braking distances and high riding stability in the rain.
Outstanding Cold Grip: High confidence right from the first meter – a crucial advantage on short, inner-city routes.
Agile, Neutral Handling: Effortless direction changes and easy maneuvering in dense, stop-and-go city traffic.
High Comfort: The construction absorbs bumps smoothly and offers steering precision even on poor road surfaces.
Low Wear: The optimized mileage provides extra relief for frequent riders on their daily commute.
Tip: In selected countries, Continental offers a satisfaction guarantee for the ContiScoot. If, contrary to expectations, you do not love the riding feel, you can benefit from a money-back guarantee (conditions available online).

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.

Dunlop Motorcycle Europe has once again been named the official tire partner for the prestigious Honda Adventure Roads event. For the second consecutive year, the acclaimed Trailmax Raid will be the tire of choice, providing essential grip and stability for riders tackling Honda’s redesigned adventure program this summer.
While last year’s event saw riders journey from Rome to Istanbul, the 2026 edition introduces a fresh format. Honda is shifting from ultra-endurance to shorter, three-day skill-focused tours designed to help riders master their machines. Participants will pilot the versatile Honda XL750 Transalp across two stunning routes:
June: Barcelona to Toulouse
September: Turin to Nice
The Trailmax Raid is celebrated for its "do-it-all" DNA. As a 50/50 on/off-road tire, it bridges the gap between rugged dirt performance and composed road manners.
"Riders trust the Trailmax Raid to deliver the right balance of off-road capability with on-road rideability," says Roberto Finetti, Marketing Manager at Dunlop Motorcycle Europe. "We know it will provide the confidence to let participants truly enjoy these spectacular tours."
Honda Motor Europe’s Nick Bennett added that the tire is the "perfect match" for the XL750 Transalp, noting that previous participants praised its ability to handle diverse terrain without compromising on-road comfort.
You don’t need to be on the official Honda tour to experience world-class adventure performance. Whether you are navigating wet tarmac or loose gravel trails, the Dunlop Trailmax Raid is engineered to push your boundaries.

Choose your country to check if ther is a motorcycle tire promotion from Pirelli.
The manufacture offers different promotions depending on the sales region.
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.
