Dunlop GP RACER D212

The Dunlop Sportmax GP Racer D212 Motorcycle Tyre pays homage to Dunlop’s extensive Motorsport heritage and racing DNA. It’s the closest you’ll get to professional racing tyres without spending a professional budget. The pro race inspired GP Racer D212 is a game changer.

• Race-derived mould profile for faster turn-in and reduced steering effort
• NTEC System allows pressure adjustment for track conditions
• New construction combined with compound development provides improved endurance
• Revised centre and shoulder compounds for maximum dry grip
• Race-like grip levels and durability

The Dunlop Sportmax GP Racer D212 Motorcycle Tyre has a new construction combined with compound development, which provides improved pro-level endurance for sustained racing performance. There is also a race derived Mould Profile which gives you a faster turn-in and reduced steering effort, and a revised centre and shoulder compounds for delivering maximum dry grip, improved feedback and sharper handling.

The Tyres have also been constructed with a JointLess Belt (JLB). All Dunlop's radial street tyres are designed using a combination of Computer Aided Design (CAD) technology and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) as well as JointLess Belt (JLB) construction (either front or rear). JLB construction eliminates the belt overlaps resulting in smoother handling and a more stable contact patch with the road.

The compound of these Tyres use Multi-Tread Technology and Jointless Tread (JLT). Years of success in global Superbike, Endurance and GP championships have resulted in the development of a pioneering multi-compound, which is transferred to many of our current Sportmax track and road products. By mixing compounds, the same tyre can display different performance properties at maximum leaning angles than when upright during straight line speed. Jointless Tread (JLT) strip-winding technology allows multiple compounds to be precisely positioned on the tyre to achieve advantages in durability, wear resistance, grip from the tread centre to shoulder and high-speed tyre stability.

Dunlop's ingenious NTEC pressure adjust system has been included to allow the rider to optimise the tyre by adjusting inflation pressure. For dry track days, deflating the tyre will deliver predictable and tenacious handling on the limit. Back on the road, re-inflating to the manufacturer’s recommended pressures will reward the rider with class-leading levels of grip and performance.
