Dunlop is proud to present its QUALIFIER 2 front tyreFor
Supersport riders looking for
performance excellence. The Qualifier II offers secure manoeuvrability and consistent responsiveness on the road.
The Qualifier II uses the
same technology as the D211GP race tyre, with a
multi-tread compound for
faster heating times and outstanding traction on wet or dry surfaces, without speeding up tread wear.The Qualifier II uses
CTCS
(Carcass Tension Control System) technology to produce different tensions on various parts of the tyre, controlling the rigidity of some areas to optimise cornering performance and stability at high-speeds.
Multi-tread compound for faster heating times, improved
mileage and better traction on wet and dry surfaces..
CTCS technology for better cornering and braking stability
Exclusive tread pattern. It maximises contact patch and ensures excellent traction and responsiveness.
Handling, braking, comfort, etc. The tyres you choose affect numerous aspects of your machine's behaviour, whether on the road, the racetrack or off-roading. Therefore it is essential that you carefully choose the type that fits your needs best.
To help you, here are a few explanations that will help you decipher the information on motorcycle tyres:
- Dimensions: tyre width in millimetres and tyre height as a percentage of this width. E.g. 190/55, for a 190 mm width and 55% height
- Structure: radial (ZR or R) or diagonal (B), both tyres must be identical for this criteria
- Diameter: expressed in inches, e.g. 17 or 19
- Load index: the maximum load that the tyre can withstand
- Speed index: the maximum speed that the tyre can withstand
- M/C indicator: tyre use, M/C for motorcycles
- With or without inner tube TL (tubeless) for tyres without inner tubes, TT (tubetype) with innertube
In some cases, other information may appear, generally associated with the trade name of the tyre. Here is an example:
- A: Kawasaki
- C, F or GT: BMW specification
- E or B: Special carcass for heavy or loaded motorcycles
- G: Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha specification
- GTW: Heavy, fast and powerful Grand Touring motorcycles
- H: Honda specification
- K: Extremely fast motorcycles
- M: Suzuki tyres fitted on new bikes
- N: For Aprilia, Honda Ducati, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Triumph
- RF: Reinforced tyre
- WW: Tyre with white sidewalls
Other references of lesser importance are also found on the wall of motorcycle tyres (country of manufacture, DOT markings, etc.)
Remember to check your tyre pressure on a regular basis. It will ensure longer durability and increased performance!
