The product of intensive research and development work, the new ContiRoadAttack 4 combines two worlds: An all-new tyre design that easily tops its competitors on the traditional sport-touring metrics of mileage, comfort, stability and wet grip. But which also offers new levels of pure sporting ability, essential for the latest high-performance sport-touring motorcycles. The performance is so good, that we’re calling it a “Hyper-Touring tyre”.
The new ContiRoadAttack 4 features all of our core Continental technologies like TractionSkin and MultiGrip, and also adds GripLimitFeedback technology for superior levels of control and safety when riding at full lean.
The new ContiRoadAttack 4 adds the GripLimitFeedback technology for early feedback in high lean angles.
The slick shoulder area means more rubber on the road at higher lean angles for maximum grip and high precision, while an all-new compound and updated tread pattern gives a massive boost to wet weather performance, with superb grip in all conditions. This modern high-tech tyre is developed for modern and powerful sports tourers, but will also enhance the performance of popular older touring machines too.
Our engineers have also revised the construction of the front tyre to give more feedback and improved agility, which also reduces the tendency to stand up during hard cornering.

The MICHELIN ROAD 6 is already ready for the 2022 season, whereby each of its 5 predecessors had always set the bar a little higher in their own way.
The MICHELIN Road 6 tire brings enthusiasts multiple new features designed to improve wet grip, longevity and appearance on a range of motorcycles.
The new tire, available now, is designed to improve performance for roadster, trail, sport and GT motorcycles and is available in the standard MICHELIN Road 6 tire range, as well as the MICHELIN Road 6 GT tire range for larger, heavier touring motorcycles.
Technologies from Michelin’s research centers around the world, coupled with the class-leading technology of the tire’s predecessor, the MICHELIN® Road 5 tire, leverage two decades of innovation to bring riders the following benefits:
Wet grip: The MICHELIN Road 6 tire has 15% more grip than its predecessor in wet conditions thanks to silica technology tread compounds and a new tread pattern featuring MICHELIN Water Evergrip Technology™.1
Longevity: The MICHELIN Road 6 tire delivers 10% longer tread life compared with the previous generation.2
Tread design: An optimized ratio of grooves to rubber, known as the void ratio, gives improved grip performance in both wet and dry conditions. This ratio is not compromised when cornering, so riders have constant and accurate feedback from their tires. The MICHELIN® X-Sipe Technology™ combined with MICHELIN® Water Evergrip Technology™ ensures the tire has consistent grip throughout conditions and maintains its grip even as the tire wears – giving riders confidence in the tire from the first mile to the last mile. There are also new groove and sipe angles with longer edges that cut through water film and maintain road grip.
Bridgestone, a global leader in tyres and rubber, is today announcing the launch of its latest on-road adventure tyre for the motorcycle market, the Bridgestone Battlax Adventure Trail AT41. The rugged, off-road looking tyre provides great dry performance and incredible traction, grip and braking in the wet to ensure a safe and comfortable journey in all weather conditions.
The Bridgestone Battlax Adventure Trail AT41’s new off-road looking pattern has an optimised groove design to improve water drainage and contribute to the tyre’s impressive wet weather performance, thanks to increased average groove volumes and a more consistent groove ratio in the contact areas. The new block shape of the tyre reduces partial wear on its shoulder, while an optimal belt construction with the new pattern gives great stability. The Bridgestone Battlax Adventure Trail AT41’s touring compound – with 3LC used on the rear – also enables its excellent performance in the wet, dry and in terms of the tyre’s mileage.
