PRODUCT REVIEW I
O
riginally introduced in 2007, the
ContiTrailAttack was revised in 2009
and reintroduced as the Attack 2. Ten
years later, Continental has gone back to the
drawing board and added new technolo-
gies to its Attack line and is now offering the
Trail Attack 3. These 90/10 street/dirt tires
are made specifically for heavy adventure
motorcycles and have been completely re-
engineered with several cutting-edge design
features not found in other brands. For start-
ers, they arrive to the customer ready to ride
due to a unique tire mold called "Traction
Skin," which leaves what Continental calls
a "micro-rough" tread surface that requires
no break-in by the rider.
Additionally, they're designed to reach
optimum operating temperature in less
than a mile. The Attack 3 tires are adver-
tised to be quiet and long-lasting, with ex-
cellent agility and minimal rolling resistance
due to the reduced number of grooves in
the backbone. At the same time, they're de-
signed to maintain exceptional wet-weather
characteristics thanks to drainage grooves
on the shoulders and multi-directional
grooves in key locations to bolster front-
wheel braking, rear-wheel acceleration and
enhanced grip on the sides.
