New motorcycle season 2026. 
Avon Motorcycle tyres bring decades of heritage to bear in crafting tyres that deliver the value, confidence and above all, the styling and performance you need to perfect your ride.

Here is the English translation of the rewritten press release, keeping the engaging structure and the clear Call-to-Action for your shop:


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).

Whether it's a compact city scooter or a powerful maxi-scooter: rely on Continental's premium quality in any weather.

Would you like me to adjust the tone of the translation (for example, making it punchier or more formal), or do you need help writing a short social media teaser to promote this post?

Welcome, riders! If you spend your days navigating the urban jungle or taking your maxi-scooter out for weekend tours, you know that the right rubber changes everything. Dunlop has officially released the 2026 evolution of their highly acclaimed scooter tire, and it is a massive leap forward in both safety and performance.

Meet the Dunlop ScootSmart 2—now officially available at myNETmoto!


What Makes the ScootSmart 2 Stand Out?

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.

Key Technological Upgrades

  • 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.

     


The Perfect Fit for Your Ride

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 Trailmax Raid Returns as Official Tire for Honda Adventure Roads 2026

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.

A New Chapter: Skill-Focused Tours

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 Ultimate 50/50 Performance

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.

Gear Up Like the Pros

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.

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.

Dunlop Sportmax GP (D213) - The treaded racing tire with the DNA of a slick.

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.

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

  1. Compound  Equipped with a compound developed based on technologies built up through racing tyre development.
  2. New Tread Pattern  Newly designed pattern with an optimized groove ratio delivers superior grip performance through enhanced tyre rigidity and an increased contact area during cornering.
  3. New Structure  For the front tyre, the “HE-MS BELT” structure, proven in the world’s top-level motorcycle races, is adopted for the first time for a commercial BATTLAX tyre. The flexible belt equalizes contact pressure to further enhance grip.

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.

  • Successor to the iconic Continental tire: over 40 years of experience meets cutting-edge technology
  • New tread design for maximum grip on- and off-road
  • Optimized carcass and new rubber compound for stability, traction and wet grip
  • Broad range of sizes for all popular travel enduros for real adventures

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.

Supersport positioning: an optimal balance between sport and hypersport 

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.

When Peter Hickman and Jeremy Guarnoni crossed the finish line to win the 6 Heures Moto de Spa-Francorchamps in September, their goal was complete. But for these two seasoned racers, the goal that day wasn’t to win the race. It was to test tires.   

The Dunlop Test Team is one of the most interesting development programmes in motorcycle racing. Managed by Steven Casaer (EMC37) with engineers from Dunlop’s technical centre in Montluçon, France, the programme harnesses the expertise of top riders to test the next generation of racing and track day tires in the toughest and most realistic conditions - real races.  

“Testing in this environment is different to just testing on a normal track,” Hickman explains. “It means that when we are passing people, we're going off the racing line, trying different parts of the track that we wouldn't do if we're testing on our own. We get to use the tire in a different way and in the type of realistic conditions it’s actually going to get used in.” 

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.

Redefining Supersport Performance: SPORTEC 01 Family

 

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.


Mastering Adventure: The KAROO 4 Street

 

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.

The 2025 Isle of Man TT witnessed a “new” brand of tire being raced around the famous 37.75 mile Mountain Course. Mitas joined the established tire companies with four riders racing on the SPORT FORCE+ RS treaded race tires in the Supertwin class.

After a successful Manx GP in 2024, Julien Crégniot stepped up to the TT riding an Aprilia RS660 for the Scott Racing team.  Teammate Joe Yeardsley decided to run Mitas on his Supertwin machine as well, having been impressed with the performance and wear in pre-season testing. Also riding Aprilia RS660’s on Mitas tires were Frenchman Wayne Bourgeais and Irishman Darryl Tweed, the experienced road racer swapping to Mitas at the last minute.

All four riders were using the Mitas SPORT FORCE+ RS 

120/70 ZR17 (58W) Mitas Sport Force Plus RS front and 180/60 ZR17 (75W) Mitas SPORT FORCE PLUS RS rear.
