Dunlop is proud to present its Sportmax GP Racer motorcycle tyre:

• Competition tyres homologated for road or track use.
• Official tyre of the France Promosport and WERC GP Racer cups.
• The NTEC system allows riders to lower tyre pressures for exceptional grip on the track.
• The Multi-Tread (MT) / Multi-compound mix ensures quick warm-up, excellent brake stability and unparalleled feedback over long distances, in any conditions.
• The carcass is designed to stabilise the sidewalls, creating smooth and responsive transitions between lean angles.
• Cooler running and predictable performance enabled through nylon breaker belts and continuously-wound aramid-fibre tread belt.

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 specific cases, other information may appear, generally associated with the trade name of the tyre. Here are some examples:

• 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 less important references also appear on the tyre sidewall (country in which it was made, DOT marking, etc.)
Remember to check your tyre pressure on a regular basis. It will ensure longer durability and increased performance!
