ContiGelandeSport Intermediate

Continental Tire

The ContiGelandeSport Intermediate is an all-around motocross tire for training and racing on soft to hard terrain. The front tire offers high traction and stability during braking, thanks to the CAD-calculated force-orientated polygonal knob geometry. The tire is stable in deep lean angles with maximum directional stability and exact steering. The “Black Chilli” tread compound offers riders longer life and even wear of knobs during braking and cornering. The rear tire features extremely high holeshot traction for fast acceleration out of the gate and out of corners due to the trapezoidal knob geometry. Reinforced X-ply construction with good inherent damping offers more stability and control in slides and jumps. The rear’s newly developed “Black Chilli” compound gives the tire constant grip, even in longer races.

Silverback-XLite

STI Tire & Wheel

The Silverback-XLite takes most of the features of the original Silverback and puts them in a lighter and more value-oriented package. It still delivers maximum traction in deep mud from its distinctive, aggressive, widely spaced tread pattern, but with less bulk. The lugs range from 1.125 to 1.250 inches tall depending on tire size. This allows for smoother, more versatile performance when not slinging mud. It’s easier on the machine, and when comparing costs, it’s also much easier on the budget.
