[Avon Cobra] Continental ContiRoadAttack 2 GT
Sport-Touring ContiRoadAttack 2 GT In addition to the RoadAttack 2 (released last year), this year Conti has released a GT version that offers extended mileage. The GT is furnished with a wear-resistant compound optimized for use on everything from heavyweight touring to naked bikes, and Conti states that it offers light handling and good braking to boot. Besides the GT indicator on the sidewall it has beefier construction with an additional layer front and rear, and zero-degree steel belt construction for greater stability and feedback when braking into and accelerating out of turns. Its Continuous Compound Technology (CCT) is designed to ensure high mileage and maximum grip at extreme lean angles. conti-online.com
