THE NEW RACING TYRES CONTIRACEATTACK SLICK AT THE START

November 4, 2008 by mynetmoto
The new ContiRaceAttack Slick represents the next stage for Continental Motorcycle Tyres in building up its racing tyre program. The Slick tyres developed for ambitious amateurs but also for professionals complete the successful, sporty ContiRaceAttack family of tyres. The new profile-less sports tyre is manufactured in many different compound versions including the currently unique size with a 60 cross-section for the rear wheel.
 
The new ContiRaceAttack Slick comes with the same features as the ContiRaceAttack Comp. which has established itself on the market for some time now and is internationally successful. It was particularly developed for the Supersport and Stocksport classes and offers the high performance features which also distinguish the profiled variants: A zero-degree-steel band at the front and rear, black-chili rubber compound and “Continuous Compound” technology. One very new feature is the special rear wheel contour with the 60 cross-section which, above all, ensures enormous grip and even better thrust forward thanks to the increased contact area. The front wheel variants, compared with the competition model, have received a new contour. Furthermore a lot of weight has been lost on the front wheel in order to further optimize handling and feedback.
 
The ContiRaceAttack Slick is available immediately in two compounds at the front – Soft and Medium – as well as in the compounds for the rear – Soft, Medium and Endurance, whereby the last option is not only suitable for long-distance running but also, above all, should be suitable for engaged hobby pilots who need a tyre which can also withstand many days of racing training at a high level.

Dunlop Introduces the new Sportmax D211GP Racetyre

June 5, 2008 by mynetmoto

Dunlop Introduces the new Sportmax D211GP RacetyreDunlop Motorcycle Tires proudly introduces the Sportmax D211GP, the finest production Supersport road racing tire available. Dunlop’s latest creation will make its national racing debut at Daytona International Speedway at the opening round of the 2008 AMA Superbike Series.

The new D211GP embodies the experience and tire technology amassed by Dunlop over years of racing in the USA. The D211GP is based upon the latest race Dunlop tire designs <N-Tec radial slick tires and the N-Tec radial D209 Sportmax GP< that have dominated the AMA Superbike series in recent years, winning championship after championship in all four classes.

The 2007 racing season serves as proof of Dunlop’s dominance. In the 19 AMA Superbike events, Dunlop riders swept every podium and took every top-10 position in every race except one (189 out of 190 possible). In the 10 AMA Supersport races, Dunlop riders collected 80 percent of the podium positions (including five sweeps) and 66 percent of the top 10 finishing positions. Overall in the four AMA classes,

Dunlop riders represented a whopping 84 percent of the top-three positions and 77 percent of the top-10 finishers. The radial-construction D211GP rear tire features a nylon carcass overlaid with two nylon breaker belts and a continuously wound, aramid-fiber tread belt for cooler-running, excellent straight-line stability and virtually no circumferential tire growth.

Dunlop’s N-Tec steel bead and its high-modulus bead apex combine to offer improved feel for the rider as the tire nears its cornering limit, producing the “predictability” that has become a signature characteristic of Dunlop roadracing tires.

The multi-compound rear tread is an ingenious design that results in the first production racing tire to utilize seven tread zones: a high-modulus traction compound in the center and two lateral grip sections on each side, both separated by a triangular support region<all extruded as a one-piece unit. The high-modulus traction compound is extruded as a base layer and when positioned on the tire it spans the distance from one tread edge of the tire to the other. It extends to the tire’s surface only in the center, forming a central band that contacts the pavement when the motorcycle is in vertical or near-vertical attitudes. The flanking bands of lateral-grip “working” compound are situated on either side of the central traction compound.

Engineered into the design of the underlying high-modulus compound is a triangular-shaped support that rises radially  oward the surface of the tread, bisecting the lateral grip “working” compounds. Viewed in cross-section, the peak appears as an inverted trumpet bell<wider at the base and narrowing as it ascends to the tread surface<that in effect creates two lateral grip zones on each side of the tire’s centerline.

Sharing the spotlight with the D211GP rear is the D211GP front tire. Dunlop’s first multi-compound front for production-based racing motorcycles utilizes radial construction and features two nylon carcass plies and two aramid cut-breaker carcass belts. A thin, high-modulus carcass compound is layered under these belts to

minimize and distribute the forces transmitted from the aramid belts to the carcass plies under hard braking. The D211GP front tire also combines Dunlop’s N-Tec steel bead and unique bead apex design to further stabilize handling at full lean. For the multi-compound front tread, two compounds<the lateral compound and the high-modulus traction compound<are extruded as a one-piece unit. Like the rear, the high-modulus traction compound of the front tire is extruded as a base  ayer spanning the distance from one tread edge of the tire to the other and it also extends to the tire’s surface in the center. The flanking bands of lateral-grip “working” compound that contact the road surface when cornering are again situated on either side of the central traction compound, producing three tread zones: the high-modulus compound in the center and a lateral grip compound on either side.

The D211GP features a next-generation cosecant-curve tread pattern developed with the assistance of FEA (finite element analysis). Withthis new tread pattern, carefully placed tread grooves continuously coincide with the forces running through the tread face of the tire during cornering, resulting in reduced tread wear and extended grip levels. The D211GP incorporates enhanced longitudinal elements in the center of the tread for improved wet-surface grip and is distinguished from the D209 Sportmax GP by the chevrons visible in the grooves.

The D211GP is a singular accomplishment, delivering Dunlop’s latest technology to the racing market less than a year after the earliest pre-production designs first appeared at the track. Able to deliver excellent stability, consistent grip and feel, and quick laps from the start of a race to the end, the D211GP is the next big step in Supersport race tire design. And it will surely make life even more difficult for the competition.

NEW METZELER MOTORCYCLE TYRE – ROADTEC Z6 INTERACT

May 28, 2008 by mynetmoto

PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS

ROADTEC Z6 INTERACT represents Metzeler way of innovation. Instead of pushing on a single element of the tyre like the compound which is then subjected to wear, Metzeler established that is more effective to improve the whole tyre system. Making the tyre elements interact to the maximum level means improving the interaction between the tyre and the ground, the tyre and the bike, the tyre and the external environment. This is the key of the new INTERACT technology. ROADTEC Z6 was perfection, ROADTEC Z6 INTERACT is the evolution, the fine tuning which guarantees it to be the perfect tyre for the new generation of bikes and riders.

Structure

 The Structure represents the backbone of the product and its most critical element because it bears all stress and the strain  generated by the bike during the ride. Up to now it has been very difficult to ream stresses in order to differentiate the tyre behaviour in different areas but Metzeler technicians, working over the years on the 0° steel belt winding process, have made another huge step forward. The new winding process allows to progressively ream stresses in the different areas of the tyre; as the result, every single steel string has been designed with a pre-defined resistance to stress for a specific performance requested. As a result, we now have a real interaction between carcass and belts thanks to the modular string winding tension from zenith to the shoulder: no compound at all would allow itself this level of result. The key of performance is the entire tyre design with no discontinuity in terms of performance due to wear or to different lean angles. The number of steel strings inside the tyre guarantees an homogeneous differentiation of performances, avoiding any “step effect” typical of multi compound technology. Lower tension creates more flexibility and therefore higher energy absorption, the compound increases the temperature and in a certain sense becomes softer.

Basically we are discussing high steel belt winding tension for maximum stability in the centre of the tyre and a progressive reduction of steel belt winding tension allowing maximum agility whilst tipping in and higher flexibility for maximum grip at full lean Another important aspect which contributes to making ROADTEC Z6 INTERACT

Profile

ROADTEC Z6 INTERACT benefits from the profile of the world famous Contour Modelling Technology (CMT) that has been world wide celebrated with the ROADTEC Z6. The immediately  perceptible result for the motorcyclist is neutral and smooth handling in all manoeuvres: in agile and fast changes of trajectory, the motorcycle always remains predictable, with never anything other than total reliability in the motorcycle-system and its interaction with the road’s surface.

Tread pattern

keeps the same tread pattern of the ROADTEC Z6 adopting the same philosophy of combining the drainage and mileage characteristics but with the basic concepts that sustain the sporting vocation of the sport tyre. Linear sea/land ratio distribution on contact patch at different lean angles features excellent water drainage for smooth and homogeneous riding

Linear sea/land ratio distribution on contact patch at different lean angles features excellent water drainage for smooth and homogeneous riding.In dry conditions, the performance equilibrium that inspires the ROADTEC Z6 INTERACT in all its aspects is manifested in perfect combination between sports grip and mileage, within the logic of the use of a Sport-Touring bike. The pre-defined stress distribution all along the profile helps to keep open all the grooves even under the high load which is typical of sport touring bikes; the perfect interaction between structure and tread pattern design ensures the perfect water drainage even in the hardest conditions.

The key product benefits are summarized in the following radar chart, which compares the features of the ROADTEC Z6 INTERACT with ROADTEC Z6, actual internal reference in the segment. confirms all of the outstanding features of Roadtec Z6 like Mileage enhancing to the utmost: stability, handling, total wet behavior and performance lasting till the end of the product life
