Continental launches ContiRoadAttack 4 ‘hyper-touring’ tyre

It’s now 16 years since Continental introduced its first-generation ContiRoadAttack, and during this time we’ve made our acquaintance with a whole range of jauntily-named innovations. The launch of the original tyre back in 2005 saw the arrival of Zero Degree technology, while Continental gave us two – TractionSkin and MultiGrip – when it released a second generation five years later. Continental brought out the ContiRoadAttack 2 EVO in 2013 and in doing so introduced us to RainGrip technology. We got to know EasyHandling technology four years ago when the next generation tyre arrived. Continental is now gearing up to bring us its latest incarnation, the ContiRoadAttack 4. Get ready for GripLimitFeedback technology, too.
