Have been given the opportunity of trialing these tyres on my GSXR (yeah, gotta pay for them), but the bike shop are keen to see what I think of them.

Nice sticky compound, brand new to the market, bit dearer than my usual ones, but am very tempted.

Should I do it? I think I'm gonna get less mileage outta it though.

sinfull
16th February 2010, 07:26
Of course ya should do it at their cost price fitted hehe
Be interested to know what they are equivalent to ie road attack sport attack race attack ??

Definitely. If you're trialling them make them do it at cost + 5% or somesuch.

And are they road or sport 2? Is there both a new road and sport or just the one?

They have a harder compound in the centre, and sticky at the sides, but the whole tyre seems sticky to touch. Maybe more like a race tyre, like pilot powers - will need to try them to be able to say what they are like.

Not sure, they know I need new tyres, and suggested that I might like to trial them. The rep already said they would give a better deal to them if they are to be trialed specially..... There cost price is equivalent to the Michellen deal they give me...... so will see what the rep would do.

There are lots of different attacks - but this is a new one to their line. Called attack 2.

Called attack 2.

So not road or sport attack 2. Just attack 2?

I've had a set of road attacks before and really rated them. Great tyres.

no, they are called Conti Attack 2. Nothing else. Aren't even in their catelog of tyres - thats how new they are. Think I'll do it and get some anyway......

I got 7,500km out of the pilot road 2, which was quite amazing, and I really had good confidence in them. But I love my Pirrelli Diablo's, so would be keen to try these too

Have you thought about trying out the new Angels?

Are the attack 2 sport-touring or full-on sports? Just asking as you were saying how sticky it feels all over. I figure with a hard compound center it would be sports touring.?

I have absolutely no idea. The rep only dropped it off yesterday and I had it at home last night to view.

edit - it comes under road attack - on phone now to the bike shop

This might help!

The Conti RoadAttack2 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.

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.

Shops should have the info on there Sprint3 service!

Wow! Only 7500 ks? Mstrs gets about 17000 ks (I think) out of the same tyre on his GSXR.
Maybe try a smoother style of riding to get more mileage....

Well, good for him. I used a bridgestone before this one and only got 4,500 out of that - and don't think I've ever had more than 7,500 out of a tyre, even when I've had all my other bikes. So each to their own.

Thanks for that info - was hoping that I'd get a special deal going through Five-Star here in Napier. But might have enough tread for the journey... depending on the weather - of course! But also, the V8's start this weekend, so tough choice too :niceone:

Must be something about your riding style ... strange ... I thought Grub did extremely well when he realised he got 20,000 out of a set of his ... oh well as you say each to their own.

Anyone who gets more than 10,000km out of a rear tyre on a 1000cc sportsbike/"superbike" should be riding something with less power. Many people would say 7000km is a good effort, but I don't want to offend too many people.

That's nice for you. I've met MSTRS before, he's a good guy. Not everyone likes to ride smooth, or slow (two different things), and thus not everyone gets good mileage out of their tyres. The fact remains that one rider will most likely get the same proportional use out of a set of tyres relative to another rider.

This thread is about whether it's worth the original poster giving a new to the market set of tyres a go based on how they will perform in terms of grip and mileage compared to their current brand/type. If you don't have anything useful to contribute on that fact then you don't need to post.

Conti 'sport' tyres have been known to not last quite as long as other 'leading brands' but they do however offer very good grip, quick warm up time, and are somewhat more forgiving than other similar tyres. They have been working on improving the longevity of their tyres and I believe they are making good progress of doing so without compromising the existing good characteristics of the tyre.

Kind of...
With something new, the first users are always going to be guinea pigs, with no hope of knowing what they will find without just doing it.
But the OP also commented how quickly she wore out a set of PR2s. Too quickly, in the opinions of many and certainly in mine.

crazyhorse
17th February 2010, 15:24
That is not altogether true Mstrs. I thought I actually got very good mileage out of the PR2's. I used to get alot less from the Pirrellis I used to run on my SV650. and if you read correctly, only got 4,500 out of the BT014's. So, thought I had infact done well.

They have confirmed a very good rate for this new tyre to me and I am going to put them on and give them a go. I had a conversation with the rep and he indicated that the wear and tear have improved immensely with their technology and also the grip, esp in the wet. So I for one will look forward to trying these out.

Thanks for everyone who gave their opinion....... :)

Just took a Road Attack off the back of the buell. It was OK, never gave me any bad moments. 4000Km to canvas though.

Most of that did involve a trip to Invercargill and back, still, I get 6000 from a PP2, and twice that from a PR2.

Thats what I will be basing them on. I wouldn't put the pirrellis on the thou as I figured they would tear up too quick. But the rep very much assured me these will have a very similar if not better wear than the PR2's. So, I will report when on and riding..... :)

Ah...all in the way one reads these things. You see, to a huge number of us who've had PR2s on, that is a very LOW mileage.
Now, I can't say I've tried lots of different tyres, nor have I ever gone for really sticky road rubber, so I would expect to get 'reasonable' mileage out of my tyres. Z6s lasted a bit over 10,000kms on my old 1100, Pilot Sports lasted maybe 9,000kms on the 750 before I went to the PR2s and near doubled the range. However, I also changed my riding style (thanks Sugi) from squirt and brake to smoooth.

My only experienc with Pirrellis (on teh road) was the Super Corsa's the R came with. They were very good when warmed up, bloody awfull cold, and took some fairly agressive riding to warm up. Accident waiting to happen in my particular case.

Hey - someone stole the tread off the new tyres! Interesting that with each new tyre release they claim better wet handling/grip but have less tread! must be some fancy rubber.

Looks like it is a PR2 competitor, hopefully as good or if possible better (very impressed with my PR2's).

And smooth is the new fast.

Hey there guys,
For those who are interested (that seems to be almost everyone !) here are some details on the Continental Road Attack 2.

The target for this tyre is the sports tourer market - those riders who want the best of both worlds as far as grip and durability go.
CRA2 contains some unique technology disigned to give real world riders what they want - this tyre is very grippy, but not aimed at the racer market.

Here are some of the features, as well as a run down on what they do for you

Continuous compond - This is not a dual compoud tyre, but instead has a linear change from the middle of the tyre all the way to the outside. This gives long life in the centre, and a lot of grip on the shoulder, all without any step's in the compound. Basically it's all the advantages of dual compound, but without the behavioural change at the compound join.
Traction Skin - the tyre has a special treatment that gives it an abraided finish straight from the factory, and with no release agent remaining in the surface.
These things are all but ready to ride normally on straight away, which is a real bonus for those of us that hate running in new tyres. It's basically as close as you get to plug 'n play.
You also get Black Chilli Compound, Activated Silica, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Bottom line, more dry grip, lots more wet grip, and very stable behaviour over the life of the tyre.

There has been a mojor update to the tread pattern, as well as a big change to the front tyre carcase, which now steers much better on the brakes.

All in all, this is a major upgrade to what was already a very good sports touring tyre, and contains technology that is unique to Continental.

I have spoken with one of the design team that built this tyre, and they are just fizzing about it. From what i understand, they are quite sure that they have built something special here, and the feedback we have from testing out here is that they are quite right !

You should go and check these out at a dealer - even if it's just to see how different they look and feel. Trust me, you'll know what I mean when you see one !

PR2 8500km
pilot sport 6600km

I think 7500 is low yes. but not really low. over 15000 is insane I dont know how you do it!

oh. another variable I like to keep track of is actualy cost.

This wee fella has done 6000kms - so far.
Smooooth is where it's at. Read Sugilite's thread for clues...

You been using those on your push bike :laugh: Thats impressive mileage.
I don't think I have ever had more that 7000kms out of any rear tyre .

And I got 53,000kms out of my last chain so I don't feel I am particularly agressive with the throttle

I read somewhere that it as better to neglect your chain than to over care for it . So thats my maintainence schedule , usualy need a sprocket change at half time.

PR 2's are about 6000 to 7500 depending on type of riding .
Conti Road Attack was 5100 but I took that off well before it was worn out , I liked it that much .
