Description
Continental ContiSportAttack 5 – hypersport tyre with circuit technology
The latest SportAttack generation combines road usability with a highly sporting character. It is aimed at current supersport and powerful naked motorcycles whose riders want dynamic road handling and genuine track-day capability.
- The new BlackChili compound supplies high dry grip and controlled wear under sporting loads, creating a direct feel during hard acceleration and deep lean.
- MultiZoneBelt varies steel-belt tension: tighter in the centre for straight-line stability and more open at the shoulders to increase the footprint and corner grip.
- A redesigned carcass uses zones of differing stiffness to improve feedback, control under heavy braking and stability during rapid direction changes.
- Optimised tread zones and the TractionSkin surface provide very rapid warm-up, delivering grip after only a few corners without tyre warmers or a long running-in period.
- Its intended 80/20 split is approximately 80% road and 20% circuit, retaining enough comfort for everyday sporting use while supporting occasional intensive track riding.
Depending on tyre size and vehicle approval, examples include Yamaha YZF-R1, BMW S1000RR, KTM 1390 Super Duke R EVO, Kawasaki Z900, Honda CBR1000RR-R and Ducati Streetfighter V4.
