Continental SportAttack?
Greetings all.
It seems all of you on the civilized continent get the scoop on new moto-products well before us Yanks. Have any of you heard about the (new?) SportAttack from Continental? The sizes appear to be very limited and do not include SV stock sizes. I know many of you are fond of the RoadAttack, wondering if any of you have mates with SportAttacks that have been properly thrashed for an adequate review? http://www.conti-online.com/generato...attack_en.html Thanks... |
Yes it looks a great tyre. It's not yet available in SV 650 sizes but probably will be.
I've got a set of Road Attacks and think they're an excellent tyre, but for a full report try here: http://forums.sv650.org/viewtopic.php?t=9676 . |
Yes, sir, the RoadAttacks are catching on here in the states as well. My hunch is you all will get first crack at the new SportAttacks...

Evening.
I keep asking the importers when the Sport Attacks will be available in SV sizes.....They keep saying later this year :( Which is a pity 'cause I'm going to offer one forum member a pair at cost, so we can get some feedback So watch this space! :D .........They're available in 120/70 180/55 & 190/50, I've supplied a couple of sets, and so far the response has been that they're the dogs!! Mind you, they were designed by the chap who designed the Diablo, Sportec & Roadtec (he fell out with Pirelli/Metezler & went to Conti & said "can you use me" To which they probably replied; NOT HALF!!). So maybe we should expect nothing less. Cheers. |
Spanner Man-- Thanks for the update and the inside scoop on the tire designer. Seems if the Sport turns out anything like the Road, Conti will have a pretty good chokehold on their share of the sportbike market...
p.s. I linked to this thread in a similar thread at SVRider.com |
I'll definitely be giving them a go when both my vipers are dead. Gonna get the rear replaced and see if the front lasts for two.

Evening all.
I reckon you're right, Six Chin, shame they're German eh! :D :D :D Give the Road Attacks a go Carsick, if the sports aren't out when you need tyres, I doubt that you'll be sorry. They're about the best all rounder you can buy, so it would seem. Cheers. |
I think Michael, (Carsick), had a set of the RAs before the Avons that are fitted now.
Of course there is the ever present possibility of my talking utter cobblers. Again. |

I'm inclined to try the sport attacks because I think I've now been spoiled by the level of grip. I wouldn't object to going back to the RAs, cos they were very good, but it would probably be a financial choice rather than one based on what tyres I would like. |
anyone else find that the avon a46/45 are great in the dry and a bit slidy in the wet? even if its the avon vipers that are the same...? anyone?
