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.
Heidenau extends its range by new models and dimensions.
The new tyres are the Scooter sport tyre, the all rounder #K66 and of course the #K66Snowtex winter tyre.
The K66 is a modern all round tyre for daily use with balanced performance on wet and dry roads. By the open profile design the tyre provides superior water drainage on wet roads. The K66 also offers superb grip on dry roads, especially on slippery road surfaces the open tread blocks offer higher level safety.
The K66 Snowtex combines the characteristics of the K66 profile with the advantages of a high-quality silica rubber compound. This, and special textile fibres in the compound maximize grip under winter conditions and at temperatures below 7°C. So the K66 Snowtex provides outstanding traction and high safety reserves on the cold season of the year.
Following a long period of development and extensive test cycles, they will be available in 160/60 -14 (65H) TL dimensions.
For the front, we will also offer both profiles in size 120/70 -15 (56H) TL.
So it will soon be possible to equip maxi-scooters such as Suzuki Burgman 650, Gilera Nexus 500 or Kymco MyRoad 700, with tires from the Saxony manufactory.
Mitas will also launch new tyres in the Motocross Competition range. The new tyres are C-28 and C-29 TERRACROSS designed for medium to hard terrains and C-30 and C-31 TERRACROSS for soft to medium terrains.

Continetal will show on the EICMA in Milano the NEW RoadAttack 2 EVO ............
High-grade premium tyre with optimised grip in the wet.
Based on the highly successful ContiRoadAttack 2, the EVO offers riders even better levels of performance, in the wet thanks to:
More sophisticated tread pattern designed with more pronounced drainage which cuts through water and enhances rider feedback
Higher percentage silica compound
The tyre also features the tried and tested multi-grip technology which offers extended mileage and maximum grip at extreme lean angles. Mileage is also boosted thanks to the use of a 14.7% deeper rear tread when compared with the ContiRoadAttack 2.
Our TractionSkin technology makes for an extremely safe and short breaking-in period by giving the surface of the tyre a micro rough skin which increases initial levels of grip.
The patented zero degree belt technology offers excellent straight line stability at speed, perfect for meeting the combined touring bike demands of safety and comfort.
The ContiRoadAttack 2 has been singled out many times for its outstanding handling characteristics, and these are still evident in the EVO version.

Bilbao (Spain) – The new Pirelli Angel GT tyres début on Basque soil in Bilbao for the unveiling of the latest arrival to the Ducati house, the DUCATI Multistrada 1200 S Granturismo. In fact, the new Angel GT sport touring tyre in the 190/55 R17 size on the rear and 120/70 R17 on the front will be standard equipment on this brand new version of the appreciated Borgo Panigale model as yet another demonstration of the strong "made in Italy" partnership between the two companies.
Angel GT conveys Pirelli's maximum DNA levels in terms of performance, which stays high for the entire life of the tyre, as well as remarkable mileage that is at least 15% more than the Angel ST. The typical Pirelli sports attitude and top notch performance on wet roads goes along with this feature thanks to an in depth study of the compounds and geometry as well as the positioning of the grooves in the tread. In fact, the unique nature of the Angel GT lies precisely in the fact that its excellent characteristics suffer limited deterioration as it eats up kilometres, all the way to the end of the product's life cycle. Pirelli sums up this property as “Performance Mileage”. Angel GT is the natural descendant of the Angel ST, a tyre with multiple victories under its belt in the sport touring comparison tests conducted by the most prestigious international motorcycling magazines. Compared to its predecessor, Angel GT substantially increases mileage, grip and handling in the wet and, even more importantly, is able to maintain those properties at a high level over time.

"For really hard, hard ground, it is not easy to find a tire that provides the necessary grip, has a good shelf life, easy to install as possible and it is still priced in the green range. Selecting the right tire can be the outcome of a race to decide, because at almost the same skill level between two tenths of a competitor often decide who will be achieved not least through a good tire.
Many amateur riders look around on the international race in the paddock and see what the stars tires mounted on their rims are, and act accordingly. There may well be that it is not a tire on the market is because the big teams often receive material that is only tested long before the dealer on the shelf. What many do not know is that manufacturers offer, for example, the GP pilot various rubber mixtures of the same profile on different surfaces which can be very helpful for the drivers.
MICHELIN Starcross HP4 has been tested and approved by American Supercross star Travis Pastrana.
It provides unrivalled grip on hard-packed ground and delivers consistent performance from the holeshot all the way to the finish of races, even on the most punishing of terrains.
