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 BT-023 is said to provide superb wear life and wet cornering thanks to the re-designed angle-groove pattern and Silica Rich Ex compound with “RC polymer”. Both the front and rear tyres are constructed with Bridgestone’s Mono Spiral Belt (MSB) technology, which Bridgestone says provides top-level grip, shock absorption and straight-line stability at speed. The rear tyre features a three-layer compound made up of a shoulder compound intended to give “reassuring grip through corners” and a centre compound with wide contact area for stability and smoothness when cruising.
“The Battlax BT-023 is an important launch for Bridgestone” said Gunther Podevyn, senior manager Motorcycle Tyre Products, Bridgestone Europe. “Sport-touring is the largest market sector and with the BT-023 we have a product that can deliver full-spec performance at a high level. We expect strong sales, especially through our new Bikers’ Club outlets across Europe.”
 The Battlax BT-023 will be introduced with five front wheel sizes (60 to 80 series) and seven sizes for the rear (50 to 70 series). An optional specification will also be available for heavyweight bikes such as the BMW K 1300 GT (120/70ZR17 BT023 GT and 180/55ZR17 BT023 GT).
This specification will feature a ‘special’ pattern and cross belt construction on the front, combined with an MSB + 1 belt rear construction; the result for heavier bikes being, says Bridgestone, light handling, sharp braking and long wear life.
