From Long Highway Tours to Off-Road Adventures, There’s an Option for Every Way of Exploring on Two Wheels
Summer is the season for motorcycle travel. Some riders head for mountain passes, others cover hundreds of miles on highways toward the coast, and plenty take advantage of vacation time to explore gravel roads and trails far from the pavement. Destinations, motorcycles, and riding styles may vary, but every trip has one thing in common: the importance of having tires that can perform confidently in any situation.
Continental’s motorcycle tire lineup offers solutions for virtually every type of two-wheeled adventure. From dedicated touring motorcycles to adventure bikes, as well as cruisers and scooters, each tire is designed to meet specific riding needs. Here are six Continental tires that can help you tackle this summer’s miles with confidence.

ContiRoadAttack 4
For riders whose travels happen primarily on pavement, the ContiRoadAttack 4 is one of the most complete options in the Continental lineup. This sport-touring tire has been developed to combine comfort, stability, and durability over long distances while delivering performance levels that rival many dedicated sport tires.
One of its key strengths is its advanced compound, engineered to provide exceptional grip in both dry and wet conditions. It also reaches operating temperature quickly, even in cool or rainy weather—an important advantage when riding through regions with changing conditions. Technologies such as MultiGrip, RainGrip, and GripLimitFeedback contribute to precise, intuitive handling, while the large slick shoulder area allows riders to fully enjoy the capabilities of their motorcycle on winding roads.
Beyond its performance characteristics, the ContiRoadAttack 4 is built for riders who log serious mileage throughout the year. Its combination of stability, comfort, and longevity makes it an ideal companion for extended summer tours, whether crossing mountain ranges, exploring multiple states, or simply spending full days in the saddle. It adapts equally well to the latest sport-touring machines and more traditional motorcycles, always delivering predictable and confidence-inspiring handling.
ContiTrailAttack 3
The ContiTrailAttack 3 is designed for adventure riders who spend most of their time on paved roads but still want the freedom to leave the pavement when the route calls for it. Its 90% on-road and 10% off-road focus aligns perfectly with the way many modern adventure riders use their motorcycles.
One of the tire’s standout features is its ability to reach optimal operating temperature quickly. It has also been engineered to maintain consistent performance over thousands of miles, making it especially well suited for long-distance travel. Technologies such as TractionSkin, MultiGrip, RainGrip, and Performance over Time help deliver balanced performance, while the ZeroDegree construction enhances stability and comfort even when the bike is fully loaded for a trip.
Another major advantage is its versatility. While clearly road-oriented, it remains capable of confidently handling gravel roads and well-maintained trails when an adventure takes riders beyond the pavement. That combination of comfort, stability, grip, and light off-road capability has made it a favorite among adventure riders who want to discover new destinations without being limited to paved roads alone.
TKC 70 and TKC 70 Rocks
Some adventures combine long days on the highway with frequent detours onto dirt roads. For those journeys, the TKC 70 offers an especially balanced solution. Its tread design delivers excellent stability on pavement with quiet, comfortable road manners while still providing the traction needed for gravel roads and maintained dirt trails.
MultiGrip technology combines increased wear resistance in the center of the tread with enhanced grip toward the shoulders, while ZeroDegree construction promotes even temperature distribution and effective impact absorption. Together, these features make the TKC 70 an ideal choice for riders who regularly transition between pavement and dirt.
For those looking for additional off-road capability, Continental offers the TKC 70 Rocks. Available as a rear tire designed to be paired with a TKC 70 front tire, it features taller and deeper tread blocks that improve traction on more challenging terrain. Positioned between the TKC 70 and the TKC 80, it provides added off-road performance without sacrificing strong on-road behavior.

TKC 80²
The TKC 80 is one of the most recognizable names in the world of adventure motorcycling. Its latest evolution, the TKC 80², preserves that adventurous spirit while introducing significant improvements designed to meet the demands of modern adventure motorcycles and riders who frequently alternate between pavement and dirt.
Its tread pattern has been completely redesigned to increase traction on loose surfaces through additional biting edges and optimized block geometry. The new tread design also improves stability and control both on the road and off it by increasing the tire’s contact patch.
With a true 50/50 on-road and off-road philosophy, the TKC 80² is ready for everything from long highway stretches to demanding routes through dirt, sand, and gravel. RainGrip technology enhances wet-weather performance, while the optimized carcass construction provides stability, comfort, and durability even when the motorcycle is heavily loaded and far from civilization.
ContiTour
Large cruisers and heavyweight touring motorcycles have their own unique demands when it comes to covering long distances. The ContiTour was developed specifically for these machines, which are characterized by their substantial weight, high load capacity, and long-distance touring focus.
Its construction is designed to provide stable, comfortable, and predictable handling even on heavy motorcycles. MileagePlus technology significantly increases tire life without compromising handling characteristics, while the continuous center tread band on the rear tire enhances directional stability and contributes to extended mileage.
An optimized tread pattern further improves water evacuation, helping riders maintain confidence and control when weather conditions become less favorable during a trip.
ContiScoot
Not every summer adventure takes place on a touring motorcycle or an adventure bike. More and more riders are using scooters for daily transportation, weekend escapes, and even longer-distance journeys. For them, Continental offers the ContiScoot.
This premium scooter tire has been developed to inspire confidence from the very first miles thanks to its strong cold-weather grip and excellent wet-weather performance. Its tread design promotes efficient water evacuation while helping deliver short braking distances on both dry and wet surfaces.
The ContiScoot also stands out for its agility in urban environments, comfort on uneven road surfaces, and impressive durability—qualities highly valued by riders who use their scooters every day. Available in a wide range of sizes, it fits numerous scooter models and riding applications, making it a versatile choice for enjoying summer on two wheels.
