More kilometers and a lot of grip: how crucial is a suitable motorcycle tire?

Date:

Increasing safety when riding a motorcycle is very important and for this the tires we use are essential that they are the right one for each of them

Today, motorcycle tire manufacturers offer products that are increasingly focused on achieving maximum safety in every situation and place. Each time, the carcasses, the drawings and the softness of the tire are more studied and tested to achieve a good balance between performance and safety.

This is the case, for example, for the new Continental ContiRoadAttack 4 tyre, whose clear destination is for motorcycles in the ‘sport touring’ segment, high-performance vehicles with the clear need to use specific tires to transfer power to can connect the asphalt and curves without any problems and with maximum safety.

The new design of this tire offers higher mileage, more comfort, good stability and grip on slippery surfaces compared to the previous tire of the same brand and for the same destination.

The silica compound is completely new, as is the tread pattern. For this reason, this tire is perfectly adapted to fast driving in almost all conditions and has the additional advantage that it does not need to be heated at the beginning of the break-in, because it reaches the ideal operating temperature as soon as it starts to roll.

It stands out for the ‘slippery’ area on the upper shoulder of the tread which offers great grip when cornering when the bike is tilted.

The tread design is surprising when you first look at it. Vertically, the tire has no grooves, hence the higher mileage. When we lean it about 10º, the water drainage grooves appear on wet surfaces and when we reach a slope of about 40º, the tire makes contact with the asphalt through the slippery area.

In the test we carried out with this tyre, with several motorcycles between 90 and 120 hp, both on the road and on the track, it behaved perfectly and offered the driver maximum safety, both on straight lines and when cornering.
