CONTISPORT ATTACK BEATS ALL-COMERS IN LATEST SPORTS TYRE MAGAZINE TEST.
Leading German magazine ‘PS’ pitted the tyres against each other on all aspects of motorcycling, including cold weather performance, braking stability, straight line stability and of course handling which was measured on the test track.

The ContiSport Attack was up against stiff opposition,
opposition that maybe in the past, Continental have not had a competitor against
in this sector of the market. This has al changed now, as the german brand
excelled against tyres such as the Bridgestone BT-016, Dunlop Qualifier RR,
Metzeler Sportec M3, Michelin Pilot Power 2CT and Pirelli Diablo Rosso.
The tyres were given a five star rating system for their credentials, and measurements were also taken for size, weight, acceleration, braking and lap time. |
The Sport Attack didn’t drop many stars, in fact it only dropped four in all meaning that cold running, handling, precision, cornering stability and braking stability were all given top marks with the testers commenting that riding their bikes fitted with this tyre ‘made them smile within the first few metres’.

Nick Sanders has motorcycled around the world six times and is presently preparing for his seventh world tour, 'Parallel World' - on Continental Tyres.
Nick Sanders is one of Britain’s great adventurers, having circumnavigated the globe no fewer than six times by motorcycle. But where Nick differs from the Ewans and Charleys of this world (also lovers of Conti rubber), is that his expeditions are no holiday.
Nick’s 2005 record for riding over 19,000 miles around the world stands at just 19 days and three hours. And this was done aboard a wholly inappropriate (or so you would expect - Nick thinks it’s perfect) Yamaha R1.
In April, Nick sets off on his most extreme expedition yet. ‘Parallel World’ will see our intrepid adventurer cover around 55,000 miles - up and down and all around the globe, the longest possible way, through 49 countries in just over 100 days .... with ContiRoad Attack his preferred choice! "When I rode around the world in 19 days I was getting over 7000 miles out of the rear tyre, not bad on an R1! In my view and with my experience, there is simply no better tyre than the ContiRoad Attack."
