CONTINENTAL Tyre TKC 70 130/80-17 M/C 65T TL M+S

CONTINENTAL offers this adventure tyre. A dual-purpose adventure tyre bridges road and trail: spaced blocks to bite into dirt and stones, with a compound and carcass designed for the speed and weight of a big adventure bike.

Why choose a dual-purpose adventure tyre?

The benefits:

• One tyre for road and tracks: you set off on your trip without changing tyres.
• The more aggressive the tread (the TKC 80 more than the TKC 70), the better it grips in mud and stones, but the faster it wears and the noisier it is on the road: choose according to how much off-road riding you do.
• Radial carcass (R): stable and precise at high speed; bias carcass (“-” or “B”): tough off-road, often with a lower speed rating.

Why choose CONTINENTAL?

Continental is a German group founded in Hanover in 1871 that makes tyres for cars, motorcycles and bicycles. Its TKC 80 dual-sport tyre, launched in 1985 for the first travel enduros, has been developed ever since without changing its tread pattern.

When should you replace the tyre?

Replace the tyre when the wear indicators are reached or before your country's legal minimum tread depth, and as soon as it shows a cut, a bulge or torn-off blocks; a tyre also hardens with age, even with little use.
