The Continental TKC 80 Twinduro in 90/90-21 M+S is one of the most recognized dual-sport motorcycle tires in the world — and for good reason. Born from decades of rally raid and adventure touring heritage, the TKC 80 delivers genuine off-road capability without sacrificing the street manners that make long-distance adventure riding sustainable.
The Icon of Dual-Sport & Adventure Touring
The Continental TKC 80 Twinduro has earned its reputation on everything from Dakar-inspired routes to daily commutes.

If you're looking for a front tire that won't compromise your adventure — on or off road — the TKC 80 is the benchmark.
