Specified for rear wheel motorcycle applications, the Continental TKC 80 Twinduro Rear 170/60R17 72Q is built for mixed on and off-road touring. It suits riders who split their time between gravel tracks and paved roads and demand reliable traction in changing terrain. The profile maintains a large contact patch for grip while tread blocks are optimised for both bite on loose surfaces and stability on asphalt. Versatile traction and controlled braking behaviour are the main features that make it a preferred choice for adventure riders.

The tyre’s compound and block arrangement promote effective water evacuation and consistent cornering stability when leaning on tarmac. Reinforced construction supports load capacity for luggage and pillion use and helps preserve even wear across varied surfaces. The rear-specific carcass tunes flex for traction without sacrificing steering response from the front. Robust build quality and predictable handling ensure confidence on long rides.

For the rider this translates to dependable braking distance on wet roads and improved grip on loose tracks. The tyre delivers practical mileage and a comfortable ride for dual-sport touring in UK and continental conditions.
