FAQs

Is this tyre suitable for all riding conditions?

The ContiRaceAttack 2 is optimized for performance riding. While street-legal, it excels in dry conditions and spirited riding. Performance in wet conditions may be reduced compared to touring-focused tyres.

What does '69W' mean in the tyre size?

'69' is the load index, indicating the maximum weight the tyre can support. 'W' is the speed rating, signifying it is approved for speeds up to 168 mph (270 km/h).

Can I use this tyre on the front wheel?

No, this specific product code (160/60 ZR17 69W TL Rear) is designed exclusively for the rear wheel. A separate front tyre variant would be required for the front.

How long does the 'BlackChili Race-Compound' typically last?

The lifespan of the BlackChili compound varies significantly based on riding style, conditions, and maintenance. Performance-oriented tyres, like this one, generally have a shorter tread life than standard touring tyres.

Do I need to run in this tyre before aggressive riding?

Yes, it is crucial to perform a break-in period of approximately 50-100 miles of gentle riding. This allows the tyre's surface to shed any manufacturing residues and properly scuff-in, ensuring optimal grip and safety.

Where can I find the correct tyre pressure?

The recommended tyre pressure for your specific motorcycle can be found in the owner's manual or on a sticker typically located on the motorcycle's frame, often near the swingarm or fuel tank.

Troubleshooting

Tyre pressure loss

Check for punctures, ensure the valve stem is tight, and verify the rim is sealed properly. Seek professional inspection if the leak persists.

Uneven tread wear

Verify correct tyre pressure, ensure proper wheel alignment, and check suspension components. Uneven wear can also indicate riding style issues.

Reduced grip after installation

Ensure any mould release agents from manufacturing have been worn off (typically after the first 50-100 miles of gentle riding). Double-check tyre pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Continental ContiRaceAttack 2 is a TL (Tubeless) tyre and must be installed on a compatible tubeless rim. Professional installation by a qualified motorcycle technician is strongly recommended to ensure proper seating and safety. Ensure the tyre is mounted in the correct rotational direction as indicated by the markings on the sidewall.

Compatibility: This tyre is a rear-wheel specific variant, indicated by its size (160/60 ZR17 69W TL Rear). It is designed to be paired with a suitable front tyre that complements its performance characteristics and adheres to the motorcycle manufacturer's specifications. Always consult your motorcycle's owner manual or a professional for recommended tyre sizes and types.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity, regularly check tyre pressure and ensure it is set according to the specifications for your motorcycle and riding conditions. Inspect the tyre surface for any signs of wear, damage, or foreign objects before and after each ride. Proper riding technique and avoiding aggressive acceleration or braking on cold tyres will also help preserve the compound and tread life.
