"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 will bring to market two new motorcycle tyres designed for road use.

The new MICHELIN Pilot Road 3 range will target users of sport touring bikes while a new version of the MICHELIN Power Pure sports tyre will be added to the current lineup.

Spearheading the sport touring lineup, the Cwas designed to deliver superior grip in all conditions of use – whether on wet or damp – as well as outstanding total mileage. The tyre reflects MICHELIN’s across-the-board R&D strategy of improving individual tyre performance characteristics without sacrificing others. In this instance, MICHELIN

Technology centre engineers developed X Sipe Technology (XST), which integrates unique dual-action sipes into the tread. The sipe ribs first cut through the surface of the water, which is then evacuated faster and more effectively toward the outside of the tyre through wide grooves.

In addition to its grip, the MICHELIN Pilot Road 3 also offers improved longevity by combining the MICHELIN XST technology and the tyre maker’s latest-generation dual-compound tread, called MICHELIN 2CT.

Nine sizes of the tyre will be available in January 2011, with seven others to be introduced between February and August.

The MICHELIN Power Pure lineup of sports bike tyres is being broadened in 2011 with the addition of a new version in two sizes. This tyre provides bikes with lively handling and agility while vastly enhancing driving enjoyment. It owes its exceptional performance to architecture, materials and tread design directly inspired by MICHELIN racing tyres. The latest-generation MICHELIN 2CT technology wears evenly while preserving the tyre’s dynamic features throughout its entire life.

There will be a running change to the front tyre on 2009 models. Dunlop D407F front tires will be changing over to D408F tires during the first half of calendar year 2009. The primary difference between the two constructions is the direction of the tread. This will be executed as a running change for MY2009. The D408F tire will offer improved tire wear for some customers over the D407F.

Important Note:
When mounting the tires, refer to the directional arrows on the sidewall to ensure correct directional rotation. 

With the new Sportec M5 Interact, the premium German brand opens a new chapter in motorcycle tire construction: an innovative 5 zone tension technology inside brings a custom-tailored grip level, excellent handling and confident stability at every lean angle demanded in any driving condition.

This technology, along with Greek “Pi”-inspired tread grooves specifically placed for maximizing tire flexibility and new high-silica compounds for supreme dry grip and wet confidence, elevates the Sportec M5 Interact as the ideal tire for all sport bikes and naked bikes, from its high performance capabilities to its clean all-round look.

Following the sport-touring Roadtec Z6 Interact and the racing-oriented Racetec Interact, comes the new Sportec M5 Interact, the perfect all-round supersport tire from Metzeler boasting innovative Interact Technology.
This all-encompassing approach to development perfectly matches the tire’s structure, 0°-steel belt, tread design and compounds for a combination of high performance even in wet conditions, rideability and wear uniformity.


Interact: 5 Zones Tension Technology

Metzeler engineers answered the most diverse requirements of the supersport segment with a new stage of development on the tensions of the tire’s steel-belt: The new Sportec M5 Interact boasts five well-defined zones over the entire contour of the tire, achieving always the best grip lean for each angle, stability and constant feedback.

This diagram shows the different tension and grip zones of the Metzeler Sportec M5 Tire. Interact technology is a precise tuning of the high-tech steel belt winding tensions combined with a perfectly matched carcass, without the discontinuity experienced by alternative multi-compound products. With this new structure, Metzeler engineers also succeeded in optimizing the total area of the tire footprint at every lean angle with up to an 8% increase, while improving also its shape and pressure distribution. This success is felt in every situation: with an increased stability in a straight line, better contact feel at the central part of the curve and safe grip at full lean.

The tread pattern of the new Sportec M5 Interact is the result of an extensive series of tests to achieve high effectiveness in dry (stability) and wet (drainage) conditions, but also provides an increased life for the tire.






The registered design of the Sportec M5 Interact tire tread resembles the Greek letter "Pi", a component to the formula of a perfect circle. The shape and distribution the tread grooves contributes to the overall performance of the Sportec M5 Interact with very effective water drainage as well as a superb flexibility. This increased flexibility complements the Interact-based tire structure in maintaining an optimized contact area to avoid slippage which positively affects wear uniformity and thus mileage.

High Silica Mixture

The two newly developed tread compounds of the Sportec M5, unique between front and rear, seamlessly partner with the Interact structure. Derived from a completely new mixing procedure and produced with a larger percentage of silica, they bring top-of-segment adhesion on dry land as well as uncompromising confidence in wet conditions, still keeping a rapid warm-up time for a maximum supersport grip level right from the first pull of the throttle.

Lean Indicator

An additional motorcycle tire first comes from the Sportec M5’s new lean indicator which offers riders visual confirmation of the maximum level of the tire’s usage: riders can verify which of the 5-stage markings were contacted while riding. The five lean indicator markings are placed on the shoulder of the rear tire where the profile meets the road surface at angles of approximately 25°, 30°, 35°, 40° and 45° (depending on vehicle weight and tire pressure).

The new Sportec M5 Interact will be available starting from the 1st of February, 2010


in front size: 120/70ZR17; as well as three rear sizes: 180/55ZR17, 190/50ZR17 and 190/55ZR17, and shall gradually replace its successful predecessor, the Sportec M3.

Front size 120/60ZR17 and rear size 160/60ZR17 will follow in April 2010.

CONTI ROADATTACK 2 IN "C" FOR BMW >>
 

The ContiRoadAttack 2 from Europe's leading tyre manufacturer Continental is a new development for sports bikes and sports touring bikes. Continental's development engineers in Korbach in the German federal state of Hesse have adapted the tyre tread and compound to accommodate the latest findings in tyre technology, which means that this tyre achieves more grip on wet roads and more on dry asphalt than its popular predecessor. Handling and mileage performance has also been increased.

These results were achieved through a range of design measures in tyre development. Continental Traction Skin Technology, for example, uses a special coating in the tyre mould to prevent the release agents required when 'baking' the tyre in the mould from remaining on the tyre afterwards. The running-in time needed for the tyre is therefore safe and extremely short. This makes the new ContiRoadAttack 2 the first tyre to offer complete riding safety as soon as it is fitted.

The new tyre offers a further safety benefit on sports bikes and sports touring bikes, thanks to its 'Continuous Compound Technology' - the combination of a soft compound on the sidewall with harder rubber across the middle of the tread increases safety during cornering, without having to sacrifice high mileage performance. The use of 'Black Chili Compound' containing silica and carbon black, as used in the racing world, means faster heat build-up, something that is important for grip, especially on wet roads. The tyre structure was also redesigned to achieve greater riding dynamics and grip. This involved marrying the steel belt casing with the special tyre contour to further enhance safe handling and precise steering response.

The new ContiRoadAttack 2 will be available from the tyre trade at the start of the 2010 season. Continental will be producing the tyre in six sizes for the front axle and seven for the rear. Approvals have already been obtained for over 250 bikes (from manufacturers including BMW, Honda, Kawasaki and Yamaha).
