CONTINENTAL TKC 70 Rocks - The fourth challenger in Continental's 2020 tire assault is the TKC 70 Rocks – a rear tire without a solid backbone and with knobs over the entire tread pattern. It's a cross between the TKC 70 and TKC 80 and can be used on wider types of terrain than the TKC 70 and is better on the road than the TKC 80, offering an attractive alternative with greater versatility and freedom. The TKC 70 Rocks can be combined with the front wheel tires of the TKC 70, creating an additional tire option for those who yearn for the horizon offroad.
Mitas CUSTOM FORCE features all the important characteristics of a high-performance custom cruiser tire: durability, stability, comfort and an attractive design. Entry into the Custom cruiser tire segment represents a new chapter in the Mitas journey to becoming a full range motorcycle tire manufacturer.
The new range has been extensively tested under the most strenuous conditions possible in the U.S. as well as in different countries across Europe, to ensure the best performance.
Ksenija Bitenc, director of the Mitas Motorcycle Tires division, says:
“Premium materials, along with a robust carcass ensure great riding performance at different speeds, under all weather conditions and on different road surfaces. Particular attention was taken during the development stage to ensure best-in-class braking and handling under wet conditions. No detail was left to chance to ensure the full satisfaction of riders even on longer journeys with a pillion rider and luggage.
“The attractive tread pattern design, with its elegant grooves, is in the shape of a moving snake; a fantastic complement to the tire for real custom cruiser riders.”
Mitas CUSTOM FORCE will be available for sale from January 2020 in following sizes:

Introducing Dunlop’s next generation intermediate-to-hard terrain off-road MX tire: the Dunlop Geomax MX53. Designed to offer more performance in a wider variety of terrains, the MX53 excels in hard-packed track conditions while also offering greater versatility in intermediate riding conditions.
With its upgraded technology, the MX53 will give riders more versatility with better performance. This is in part due to the all-new tread pattern on both the front and rear tires. A revolutionary horseshoe-shaped cluster of knobs has been added to the front tire. This acts as a giant claw to dig into the ground and give the rider improved traction on hard-packed terrain and maximizes braking grip.

Compound updates with the introduction of the new SCX and larger sizes for the DIABLO SUPERBIKE slicks: innovative rear tread pattern and two different compounds for the DIABLO Rain tyre.
The new technical solutions, produced from constant development work, will beused by WorldSBK and National Championship riders and, in line with Pirelli’s philosophy towards two-wheeled racing, will be available for purchase by all motorcycle riders.
Pirelli, upon completion of intense and constant development work which started in 2017 and continued throughout 2018, is pleased to introduce the new 2019 DIABLO™ range of tyres in compounds intended for track use to racers and motorcyclists all over the world.
The goal that guided this development, which has resulted in the new solutions, was to increase consistent performance and, especially for the rear, ‘mechanical resistance’.
The premium scooter tyre Continental ContiScoot, which has been fully redesigned from the beginning, has inherited lots of features from the motorcycle tyre family – including the same tread pattern as test winner ContiRoadAttack 3 – and offers excellent handling in wet weather. It demonstrates the full extent of its maneuverability and comfort in the urban jungle and its outstanding tire life makes it a true companion even on long cross-country trips.
The company’s tyre innovations include the ContiTrailAttack 3, the third generation of the agile onroad/offroad tyre.
An abundance of impressive innovations makes the ContiTrailAttack 3 a true all-rounder for adventuring and for everyday use. It offers remarkable agility, which it is able to achieve following an extremely short warm-up run of no more than 1500 meters - this is all it requires to reach its optimum operating temperature. In addition, the new Continental Adventurer masters off-road and asphalt routes just as easily as it does varying road conditions, from bone dry to completely saturated.
Thanks to the smooth interaction of the three cornerstones caused by Continental´s MutiGrip-technology with extra abrasion-resistant center section, balanced carcass construction and the special profile design, the ContiTrailAttack3 becomes a faithful friend with consistently reliable properties throughout its entire lifetime: Superior agility, precise handling, high comfort and sensitive feedback are the result of this extraordinarily effective Continental technology.
The all-new PIRELLI DIABLO ROSSO CORSA II has been named ‘Tyre of the Year’ by Motorcycle News in its debut year, cementing a successful launch for the Italian brand’s latest and most sophisticated road and track tyre.
Utilising technology developed within the World Superbike Championship, where Pirelli is the sole tyre supplier to the series, DIABLO™ ROSSO CORSA II is the company’s first multi-compound front motorcycle tyre. Featuring two compounds applied in three zones on the front tyre and three compounds applied at five zones on the rear to create the ideal combination for modern motorcycles.
The two additions will add a new dimension to CST’s enduro and motorcross collections, further expanding their product portfolio of world-class tyres.
CM-723/CM-724 are specifically suited to the discipline of enduro racing and are FIM approved. The CM-723, for the front of the bike, has small, irregular and polygonal tread blocks to increase traction, whilst the larger CM-724 has a tread pattern that helps disperse mud and lower rolling resistance. Shoulder knobs are a key feature of both tyres, offering more grip and stability to the bike whilst cornering.
A lot of research inside the scrambler and ‘café racer’ world has brought so many design ideas. The AX41S is the outcome of hours behind the drawing table. AX41S adopts the latest technologies in terms of compounding, a directly derivate from Bridgestone’s Sport-Touring category, to ensure the necessary road performances.
AX41S provides the perfect match for both a custom build scrambler thanks to its design, and for the rider through its performance. Bridgestone’s Battlax Adventurecross Scrambler AX41S is the tyre that takes care of the final look of your bike.
The Battlecross E50 is the outcome of years of off-road technology development. It is road homologated and can be used in all Enduro competitions. The Battlecross E50 has shown improvements in all performance areas and on all types of surfaces vs. its predecessor ED66X.
The new pattern design has increased dramatically the edge component of the blocks. +60 % in the front and +120% on the rear. This improves both cornering and traction grip.
As can be seen in this new pattern's name, the Battlax Adventurecross AX41 is real mix of Bridgestone’s know-how in the standard trail onroad category with Battlax technology and the state of the art development capacities of block positioning in the Off-road world with the Battlecross series.
The AX41 adopts ingenious block design and positioning to ensure onand off-road performance, durability and stability. Bridgestone’s Battlax Adventurecross AX41 sets a new standard for Trail – Off road performance.
