180/60 R17 MEDIUM Continental ContiTrack Slick

Race Focused Grip With Consistent Trackday Performance

The Continental ContiTrack Slick is engineered for riders who want uncompromised performance on closed course circuits. Developed specifically for racing and advanced trackday use, it delivers high levels of precision, strong braking stability and predictable edge grip. Riders coming from Bridgestone V02s have reported comparable outright grip with slightly improved longevity, making the ContiTrack a compelling option for both sprint racing and intensive trackday schedules.

German magazine PS named the ContiTrack the winning slick in their Catalunya test, with the tyre setting the fastest laps and earning praise for its accuracy and stability at high lean.

Key Technical Characteristics

Optimised Carcass for Braking Stability

The carcass structure is engineered to remain stable under heavy braking loads, helping the tyre maintain shape and feedback during aggressive corner entry. This stability also supports more precise steering input when tipping into fast turns.

Improved Traction on Corner Exit

The construction works to keep the contact patch consistent as the tyre loads up under acceleration. This helps the rear stay planted when driving out of corners, giving riders confidence to open the throttle earlier.

New Compound Developments for Grip and Durability

Continental’s latest compound formulations provide strong mechanical grip while resisting excessive wear. This balance allows the tyre to deliver competitive performance over multiple sessions or race distances.

Race Focused Precision

The ContiTrack Slick is designed to offer clear, predictable feedback — essential for riders pushing at the limit. The tyre communicates grip levels well, helping racers and trackday riders make confident adjustments mid corner.

Track Only Design

As an NHS (Not for Highway Service) tyre, the ContiTrack Slick is built exclusively for closed course use. Every aspect of its design prioritises grip, stability and consistency under race conditions.
