Continental lanza el neumático de doble propósito TKC80²

Continental ha presentado el TKC80², una versión actualizada de su neumático de aventura TKC80 de 40 años de antigüedad, en el BMW Performance Center de Spartanburg, Carolina del Sur. El nuevo neumático tiene como objetivo mejorar el agarre fuera de carretera, la maniobrabilidad en mojado, la estabilidad y el desgaste uniforme, manteniendo al mismo tiempo un aspecto familiar. Los ingenieros describieron el desafío de diseño como un 'conflicto de objetivos' para equilibrar el rendimiento en carretera y fuera de ella.

Los ingenieros de Continental presentaron el TKC80² como un sucesor diseñado para abordar los compromisos inherentes a los neumáticos de doble propósito. El neumático conserva una construcción diagonal después de que los prototipos radiales produjeran una resonancia excesiva. Según Continental, la apariencia icónica del TKC80 de 40 años requería una estética similar para el nuevo modelo, de ahí el nombre TKC80² en lugar de una denominación completamente nueva. Un ingeniero lo definió con humor como un 'neumático 60 por ciento para carretera y 60 por ciento para fuera de ella'.
