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).

From February 2010 onwards Bridgestone’s latest “full spec” sport touring tyre will be available in European markets. The Battlax BT-023 replaces the BT-021, and the Japanese manufacturer reports that the new tyre offers a significant upgrade in mileage and wet performance compared with its predecessor, as well as by meeting the handling expectations of the most demanding sport riders. All in all, adds Bridgestone, the BT-023 provides a wider range of choices for larger bikes by delivering consistent high-level touring and sport riding performance.
The latest sport motorcycle tire from Pirelli intended to span both street and track usage As Pirelli gains more knowledge and experience as the spec tire manufacturer for the World Superbike Championship, that technology continues to trickle down to its street-oriented production rubber for sale to the general public. The latest example of that racing development is the company’s new Diablo Rosso Corsa tire that was unveiled at the Milan EICMA show. Intended as a replacement for the Diablo Corsa III tire that debuted back in ‘06, the new Diablo Rosso Corsa is said to exceed its predecessor’s performance in key areas such as overall mileage and grip in both dry and wet conditions. The new Pirelli is credited with three design patents, the foremost being Enhanced Patch Technology (EPT), derived from the company’s extensive WSBK experience for an optimized contact patch area at all lean angles on road and track, providing rider confidence and effective power transfer to the ground in any riding condition. EPT is complemented by the “III zones compound” rear tire, with a new compound in the middle section offering better mileage; ample shoulder zone compound is straight from the WSBK arena. The Diablo Rosso Corsa’s tread pattern includes a slick-like area on the rear shoulders while the tread grooves are selectively concentrated in the centre and shoulders. The aggressive tread design results in quick warm-up and consistent water drainage for great control on wet surfaces.
For the first time in their long history, Michelin® and Harley-Davidson® have joined forces to develop the all-new MICHELIN® Scorcher™ “31” tire, which carries both companies’ trademarks on its sidewalls and the signature Harley-Davidson logo carved into the shoulder.

Im Test 5 Touernsport Reifen...
---
Fazit: der Tourensportreifen- Test 2009 endet mit gewohntem Bild. Michelin und Dunlop stehen wieder einmal ganz vorne, in diesem Jahr teilen sie sich Platz eins. Der Michelin besitzt die beste Performance bei Nässe, der Dunlop punktet beim Fahrtest auf der Landstraße. Die Newcomer von Metzeler und Pirelli bringen keine neuen Erkenntnisse. Und der Avon versagt auf nasser Strecke. Bridgestone schaffte es nicht den überarbeiteten BT021 zu liefern und für den Conti Roadatack soll es noch dieses Jahr einen Nachfolger geben !!
Auch in diesem Jahr testen mehrere Motorradmagazine die aktuellen Motorradreifen. Die "Motorrad" nimmt sich in der aktuellen Ausgabe die Sportreifen vor.
Fazit: "... unterm Strich ein klares Ergebnis: Der Michelin Pilot Power 2CT kann sich in vier von fünf Disziplinen klar an die Spitze setzen. Er zeigt im Alltag sowohl neu als auch bei halber Laufleistung sowie beim Verschleiß und auf nasser Fahrbahn die beste Leistung. Hut ab vor diesem Spagat. Auch wenn er dafür auf der Rennstrecke klar einstecken muss. In dieser Disziplin dominiert Pirelli knapp vor Metzeler. Auf Platz zwei landet Contis SportAttack- eine gute Wahl für Landstraßen und Rundkurse. Klasse Einstand für Dunlops Qualifier 2, der einen deutlichen Entwicklungsfortschritt zum Ur- Qualifier aufzeigt und besonders auf der Rennstrecke Laune macht. Klarer Verlierer in diesem Test: der Bridgestone BT016.KoMa
Classic Scooters are experiencing a revival: The most popular models of 2008 took their cue from the 50’s. To perfect the look just add the new whitewall scooter tires from Schwalbe. Just like the petticoat whitewall tires are a product of the 50’s and sales figures show that this ‘Retro look’ is now booming with consumers: Scooters that resemble the iconic Vespa GT were the most popular in 2008.
Dunlop's Geomax MX51 replaces the venerable D756 soft-intermediate terrain tire and it exceeds every aspect of the old tires performance.
MX 51 Intermediate Terrain Tire - New design profile with “more volume” for excellent cornering grip and improved ride comfort
Recessed biting edges for greater cornering traction and rut performance in a wider range of terrain conditions
Tie-bar for increased block stiffness and recess design for improved medium-to-harder terrain performance
Unique “cross stitch” shoulder block distribution for better traction and grip in medium-to-medium-hard conditions
Enhanced land/sea ratio and a wider tread profile for improved traction
Larger radius block base for strength and increased durability
