Continental tyres for BMW M 1000 XR

Continental is supplying its ContiRaceAttack 2 as an original equipment tyre for what is billed as the world’s lightest and most powerful crossover bike, the new BMW M 1000 XR. It will wear the front tyre in 120/70 and the rear in 200/55 – both in combination with the standard 17-inch forged aluminium and with the optional M carbon wheels.

This is Continental’s first OEM approval for BMW Motorrad M models in the hypersport tyre segment. “With the ContiRaceAttack 2 Street and the BMW M 1000 XR, premium meets premium,” states Robin Dreisewerd, key account manager Motorcycle Tires for Original Equipment EMEA at Continental. “In keeping up with the character of the motorcycle, the focus of the tyre remains on sportiness. In addition, it offers everyday qualities – real added value even for extremely performance-oriented bikers.”
