Benelli TRK 702 with TKC 70 Rocks and ContiTrailAttack 3
Benelli recently put the TRK 702 and TRK 702 X, its latest mid-displacement trail bikes, to the test in the diverse terrains of Morocco. To conquer everything this African country had to offer—roads, dirt trails, and expansive desert—they relied on Continental TKC 70 Rocks and ContiTrailAttack 3 tires.
These trail bikes covered nearly 2,500 miles under challenging conditions. The team strategically fitted the more off-road-oriented TKC 70 Rocks on the TRK 702 X, while the ContiTrailAttack 3 was chosen for the standard TRK 702, optimized for asphalt adventures.
Unforgettable Experience in the African Country
The combination of Morocco’s landscapes and the TRK 702 series proved to be a perfect match, especially with the chosen tires. The TKC 70 Rocks , an enhanced version of the popular TKC 70, demonstrated impressive off-road capabilities. Its specially designed compound delivered exceptional performance on dirt and gravel, and its versatility extended to asphalt, offering durability and grip throughout the adventure. Even after almost 2,500 miles, the tires appeared nearly as fresh as the first day.
On the standard TRK 702, the ContiTrailAttack 3 excelled on paved roads. While it is not designed for aggressive off-road use, it handled light trail riding without issue. Its standout features included formidable road grip and a level of agility, comfort, and precision that impressed the riders. Advanced Continental technologies like TractionSkin, MultiGrip, ZeroDegree, and RainGrip played a crucial role, ensuring safety and reliability in all conditions.

Every adventure comes with its share of challenges, and this journey was no different. Riders faced shifting conditions, from chilly morning temperatures to scorching Moroccan heat, as well as dense fog, light rain in the cedar forests near Ifrane, and the chaotic streets of imperial cities.
The final leg, a 700-kilometer route between Erfoud and Nador, proved to be the toughest, with an intense nine-hour sandstorm bringing strong winds and minimal visibility. Despite these trials, the Benelli TRK 702 series and Continental tires delivered flawlessly, cementing their reputation as reliable companions for adventure.
