The Continental TKV 12 summer tire is designed for motorcycles in a variety of conditions. This model features improved grip and excellent handling. At the end of production, the tire is subjected to careful visual and electronic control, therefore it has no defects and fully meets all the declared characteristics.
New frame
Any motorcycle tire must provide maximum safety while minimizing possible damage and tears. The new frame, which is characterized by increased impact resistance, helped to achieve this. In its manufacture, lightweight materials with increased strength were used. As a result, the new carcass not only reliably protects the Continental TKV 12 tire from possible damage but also increases its mileage by reducing weight.
Special components in the rubber compound
The rubber compound has many new components that have improved the tire's handling characteristics. Due to them, grip with a wet road surface increased, and heating also decreased. This provided excellent handling and extended tread life.
Optimized drainage system
To increase grip on wet road surfaces, a new drainage system was used. The center of the tread has a deep, continuous channel that improves directional stability and provides excellent feedback. The irregularly shaped channels in the side zone provide increased grip even in heavy rain, quickly removing water from the projector. This significantly reduces the risk of aquaplaning.
This model is a prime example of the combination of high quality and excellent driving characteristics. A large number of sizes allows it to be used on most motorcycle models.
Main features of Continental TKV 12 motorcycle tires
- increased grip on wet road surfaces is achieved through the use of a new drainage system that quickly removes water from the contact area;
- the minimum heating of the tread is provided by special additives in the rubber compound, due to this, the tire mileage increases, and the risk of possible damage and ruptures is reduced;
- the lightweight carcass reduced the mass of the tire, which had a positive effect on its service life and speed characteristics.
For passionate riders:
Perfect tires make your motorcycle even better. Thanks to modern silica compound technology, TKV 12 tires provide maximum grip in any weather
The optimized tread and carcass construction ensure that TKV tires do not have a negative effect on handling and fit sufficiently on the road surface even during maneuvers in extreme inclines.
Thanks to a good adaptation to the superbike class motorcycles from the ‘80s, the TKV 12/12 tire set is the best set for tuning your classic sports motorcycle.
- "EasyHandling" technology gives the tire predictable linear handling even when the stabilizing gyroscopic forces are nominal (eg when cornering). Accuracy is improved at the same time, which applies to all traffic situations.
- Balanced performance from the first to the last kilometer.
- "TractionSkin" technology provides extremely safe and short entry times. Thanks to the revolutionary new micro-rough tread surface, virtually no tire break-in is required.
- Proven "MultiGrip" technology for increased mileage and maximum grip on extreme slopes. This technology allows the use of a one-part compound to regulate traction, thanks to the temperature-controlled curing of the tire during production. The result is a flexible shoulder tread zone that provides excellent traction and a wear-resistant center zone for high mileage.
- "RainGrip" technology provides optimum grip on wet roads thanks to a specially activated silica compound.
