Continental 2017 Motorcycle Tires
Cycle News Staff | December 28, 2016
Continental has four new road tires for sport touring, cruising and city riding.
Continental ContiRoadAttack 3, ContiTour, ContiLegend and ContiCity Tires
The ContiRoadAttack 3 is a sport-touring tire that utilizes a new mold-coating technology called TractionSkin, which eliminates the need for tire-release agents. The ContiRoadAttack 3s also used Continental’s MultiGrip technology that adds durability, and also is added to optimized grip in extreme lean angles.
ZeroDegree is the feature that gives the tires stability at high speeds. RainGrip technology is added for all-weather handling, and a newly developed technology called EasyHandling provides improved linear handling, even if gyroscopic forces are nominal, e.g. when turning or riding sharp corners.
The ContiTour and ContiLegend are designed for cruiser, chopper or custom bikes. The ContiTour is made for high-mileage life, and the ContiTour has an all-new design, with a center tread band on the rear tire without grooves to optimize mileage and directional stability under adverse conditions.
The ContiLegend has a vintage whitewall design with modern MileagePlus technology, which includes a multi-grooved pattern design for optimal drainage and consistent performance during the tire’s life.
The ContiCity option is a city tire with a triangular pattern design and is made for high levels of grip.
