The New ContiTrack: A Link Between Amateur and Professional Racing
Even though Bridgestone is still a player at the consumer level with the fabulous 403/404 tire combo, they are ready to make a new move into the motocross market with the Battlecross X40.
Using the Battlecross product name for the first time, both new tires exploit Bridgestone’s advanced MX tread and block design technology, developed and proven at the highest level of motocross competition.
The X40 is a hard-pack tire.
Fresh out of the mold, the ContiMotion presents a new product for the low-end range. Unlike other tire manufacturers, who offer older models as budget low-end products, Continental has developed the Conti Motion, an innovative technology based on a whole new concept, to serve the needs of this sector.

Milan, 5 November 2013 – The range of METZELER tyres expands from Spring 2014 . A wider range of sizes and a new version of the ME 888 MARATHON™ Ultra, the new tyre from the brand with the blue elephant, dedicated to all owners and lovers of V-Twins and the custom world.

Introducing the all new #TKC70. Our customers across the globe have asked for it, we listened, and now its finally here being unveiled to the motorcycling world as we go to press!
Sitting right in the middle of the more off-road oriented #TKC80 Twinduro and the increasingly popular #ContiTrailAttack2 this is the ideal tyre for big adventure bike riders who do most of their riding on the road but still need a tyre that is well capable when taken off the beaten track.
This week we have been doing our very best to hide 30 big adventure bikes from the public in preparation for the international launch of the all new Continental TKC 70.
Recent changes to Germany’s drivers’ license regulations have had a positive effect on the growth of the midsize-motorcycle market segment.
Up to now, the most commonly used tire size combination for this segment, 120/70 and 160/60-17, has not been available in the “M+S” marked version which German law requires for winter conditions.
To fill the gap in this growing market, Heidenau will introduce the already popular Heidenau K73 pattern in a special winter-version with “M+S”-marking. As all HEIDENAU motorcycle winter tires, these new tires will be manufactured using high-grade silica compounds to minimize braking distances and maximize grip on cold and wet road surfaces.
The combination of carcass, compound and open tread design ensures the traction required for winter conditions including mud and/or snow.
The tires will be on the market in mid October.
sizes:
120/70-17 M/C 58H TL K73 M+S SiO2
160/60-17 M/C 69H TL K73 M+S SiO2
At the INTERMOT Fair in Cologne this October, we will introduce the new K60 Scout sizes:
120/70 B19 (60T) M+S
170/60 B17 (72T) M+S
The K 60 Scout is a true dual-sport tire, bringing a proven balance of performance both on and off road; and the new tires are expected to perform up to the standards set by the rest of the Scout family.
The positive experience with the 4.00-18 K28, which is used on the #URAL_RETRO, among other things, has prompted Heidenau to also bring the 4.00-19 dimension onto the market as a sidecar tire. Here too, the large contact area will ensure that the driving forces are distributed optimally and wear is minimized.
The newly developed tire structure is also specially designed to transfer the steering forces of the sidecar to the road in a targeted manner, thus ensuring good handling and braking behavior.
The 4.00 -19 TT Heidenau K28 motorcycle tire will be available from retailers from spring 2015.
Bridgestone has reengineered the design and added new-formula compounds to upgrade the performance of its Battlax range, now showcased in its newest tyre: the Battlax Racing Street RS10.
Displayed at the Intermot fair in Cologne, 1st to 5th October, this new Battlax sports radial – replacement of the Battlax BT003RS – now offers enthusiasts sportier handling and more control with faster acceleration out of corners, enhanced steering response, greater line-holding precision in corners and confident braking stability, particularly on dry surfaces. Specially-formulated compounds are strategically located for sure grip on low-friction.
