Bookings open for the 2018 edition of Alex Gramigni’s Old School Racing powered by Pirelli & Yamaha
The ex-World Champion will hold 12 days of track riding classes at the circuit of Mugello, Italy, using 2018 Yamaha YZF-R1 equipped with PIRELLI DIABLO SUPERBIKE SC3 slick tyres.
Following the fully-booked success of last year’s exclusive track riding school by ex-World Champion Alex Gramigni, Old School Racing powered by Pirelli & Yamaha returns with an enhanced calendar of events held at the beautiful Tuscan circuit of Mugello.
With the continued support of Pirelli and Yamaha, Old School Racing, with Alex Gramigni’s highly qualified and back-to-basics teaching methods, has become one of the most exclusive experiences on the track riding school calendar. His tried and tested formula provides each participant with the use of a brand new Yamaha YZF-R1 2018 machine equipped for the Old School Racing event with the same Pirelli DIABLO™ Superbike SC3 slick racing tyres, as used in the MOTUL FIM Superbike World Championship.
Last year, Dunlop tested new technologies in MXGP races. An improved tread pattern was tested with tie-bars between shoulder blocks.
This, coupled with a new block arrangement provided higher resistance against cracking when ridden on firm intermediate terrain. Dunlop also found this resistance was also helped by an all-new compound with higher shear resistance. By incorporating such technologies into the Geomax MX33, Dunlop has created a tyre with a greater range of capabilities than its forerunner, the race-winning Geomax MX3S.

Large center radius and flat shoulder parts make unwieldy, but bring bearing surface when driving straight ahead and thus mileage (touring tires). Sports tires, on the other hand, have a more pointed contour, which considerably increases the handling.
To use the graphene additive in its compounds, Vittoria has entered into a joint venture with Directa Plus SpA. The company recently announced that it has received the patent for Graphene Plus (G +) tire elastomer composition. G + simultaneously reduces drag and increases adhesion in automotive, motorcycle and bicycle tires.

British-based Avon Tyres has extended its Cobra motorcycle tyre range, introducing four new sizes to suit the latest Harley-Davidson Big Twin model updates.
There are two new front fitments, 130/60 B19 AV71 and 130/60 B21 AV71, suitable for the Street Glide and CVO Breakout models, among others. On the rear, riders can now choose the Cobra in 160/70 B17 AV72 and 180/55 B18 AV72 sizes. Avon has a long history of producing motorcycle tyres in custom and cruiser fitments. Its Cobra range combines the super-tough construction necessary for heavy-duty custom loads, with sports tyre technology for improved handling and performance. Avon’s Cobra tyre is renowned for its outstanding mileage and long life.
Featuring the distinctive Cobra tread pattern, the new fitments also sport the unique Cobra 'snakeskin' effect sidewall logo. Products from the Avon motorcycle range will be on display at the Motorcycle Trade Expo (14-16 January), taking place at Stoneleigh Park Exhibition Centre, Warwickshire.

Available from March 2018 onwards, the new range extension will provide may more fitments for the highly successful and award-winning tyre.

Compared to the radial version, ROADTEC™ 01 X-ply features the use of different structures and compounds. In this way METZELER applied the best solution for each and every application to meet the highest target performance for both radial and X-ply.

A new METZELER enduro motorcycle tyre extends the KAROO™ range towards a dedicated road use, combining excellent agility and grip, even in wet conditions, with reliable off-road traction.
Delivering excellent road performance, even in wet conditions, the new enduro tyre remains aggressively styled, with its knobbly tread pattern continuing to provide off-road capability.
Owners of adventure, ‘enduro street’ and dual purpose motorcycles are increasingly looking for sport touring performance when used on asphalt, but without sacrificing off-road capabilities. While responding to this market request, however, the METZELER KAROO™ Street maintains an off-road look, in character with these type of motorcycles, while delivering excellent road performance on both dry and wet asphalt.
The METZELER KAROO™ Street tyre has been developed for the latest generation of adventure, big enduro and dual purpose motorcycles, capable of taking dirt roads in their stride. With the KAROO™ Street tyre these motorcycles will now be further enhanced to tackle distant road journeys, where good mileage, stability and comfort are fundamental throughout the life-cycle of the tyre.
Only black was yesterday: At the METZELER booth at the Custombike exhibition, a tire with orange sidewalls can be seen for the first time. With a visitor survey, the manufacturer gathers the reactions to new design options in this area. In addition, attractive exhibits from the luxury manufacturer Thunderbike lure the custom bike fans to the stand of the German tire brand.
The tires with the exclusive color scheme are presented on a genuine Thunderbike based on a Harley-Davidson Softail Slim. With this highlight, METZELER wants to gather feedback on the new tire design among the custom bike fans.
Following the Himalayan model equipped with MT 60™ and the Continental GT 500 cc with SPORT DEMON™, now the new Continental GT 650 and Interceptor INT 650 will be mounted with Pirelli tyres.

The collaboration between Pirelli, one of the leading tyre manufacturers in the world, and Royal Enfield, the historic Anglo-Indian motorcycle company, is further strengthened: the new models Continental GT 650 and Interceptor INT 650, recently presented at EICMA, will fit Pirelli PHANTOM™ SPORTSCOMP as original equipment tyres.
Marc Marquez — Repsol Honda Team:
“Really happy to be World Champion! Two years of Michelin and two world titles, this is a good thing for me. In the first part of the season it was quite difficult to understand the limit of the tyres, but then Michelin did an incredible job and solved all these issues and all the riders really started to enjoy riding. The season has been amazing and all the team and staff at Michelin helped me a lot and I want to say thanks, especially to Patrick — the guy that helps me in the box — because he retired today, and he was someone very special.”
A premium sports tyre that offers an exelent combination of grip, wear, rider feedbackwith linear handling.
