Country road / motorway (136 points, 1st place): The new guy is doing it on the country road Continental Road Attack 2 Evo like its predecessor is the most fun. Even on extreme lean angles, the Conti impresses with its very handy and neutral style. With the best steering precision in the test, it can be brought and kept on the desired line most easily. In addition, thanks to the good feedback, there is quickly a high level of confidence in the good grip in curves of all kinds. The righting moment when braking in an inclined position remains very low. However, the outstanding handiness also has its downside: Evo drivers have to accept compromises when it comes to straight-line stability. At over 170 km / h the uncovered CB 1000 R becomes more nervous than with other tires, but remains calculable.

Wet test (84 points, 4th place): Last year, the predecessor finished this test by a considerable margin in last place. Thanks to a new rubber compound, the Evo has now caught up, although there is still room for the top group. The Conti can also score points in the wet thanks to its handiness and steering precision. The wider border area increases confidence in the rain.
