Continental ContiSportAttack 2 review

The Continental ContiSportAttack 2 is highly regarded by sportbike riders for its exceptional grip, rapid warm-up times, and predictable handling characteristics. While it excels in both spirited road riding and track day applications, users note that its performance-oriented compound leads to relatively rapid tread wear, particularly under aggressive riding conditions.

The Continental ContiSportAttack 2 is highly regarded by sportbike riders for its exceptional grip, rapid warm-up times, and predictable handling characteristics. While it excels in both spirited road riding and track day applications, users note that its performance-oriented compound leads to relatively rapid tread wear, particularly under aggressive riding conditions.

Pros

  • Exceptional dry and wet grip levels
  • Very fast warm-up time
  • Predictable and intuitive handling
  • Strong performance in both track and street environments

Cons

  • Short tread life compared to touring-oriented tires
  • High cost-per-mile for daily commuters
  • Rapid rear tire degradation under aggressive throttle application

Worth knowing

  • Riders of middleweight and liter-class sportbikes (e.g., ZX6R, Speed Triple 1050) report high satisfaction with cornering confidence.
  • Commuters note that the tire's longevity is significantly reduced by high-mileage daily use, making it less ideal for non-sporting utility.
