The Continental TKC 70 is aimed at riders who want the freedom to move easily between paved roads and unpaved tracks without switching tyres. It feels stable and controlled on the highway, yet its tread pattern offers enough bite for gravel roads, dry trails and country paths.
- A 0° steel belt around the carcass helps the tyre stay composed at speed and reduces deformation when the bike is loaded.
- The compound transitions gradually between harder rubber in the centre and softer rubber toward the edges, which supports good mileage together with dependable cornering traction.
- The formulation also retains grip in damp or cooler riding conditions.
In daily use, the TKC 70 offers a relaxed, predictable feel on tarmac and a confident response once the surface turns rough or uneven. It is commonly fitted to adventure motorcycles such as the BMW GS range, Honda Africa Twin, Yamaha Tenere models, Triumph Tiger and KTM Adventure bikes, and is also suitable for many similar travel-oriented machines.
