New ContiRoadAttack 3 is the test winner
The German motorcycling magazine MOTORRAD trialled six sports touring tires in sizes 120/70 ZR 17 (front) and 180/55 ZR 17 (rear) in its 12/2017 issue. The result of these tests put the newcomer from Korbach in first place.
Key evaluation criteria included handling, behavior at the limit and in wet conditions, grip during acceleration and at lean angle positions, steering precision, cornering and straight-line stability – and, at the end of the day, the ContiRoadAttack 3 came in first.
