It is a diagonal tire with a long lifespan. You can confidently drive in various driving situations, from cornering, touring, daily tours, and circuit courses.
Main features and representative technologies
Profil pattern that achieves high drainage performance and wear resistance Long grooves that penetrate the contact area at all lateral inclination angles, changing the angle from the center of the tread to the shoulder to achieve high drainage performance The groove form and angle are improved by wear simulation and enhanced durability by suppressing uneven wear Handling profile for gentle handling By using a single R-profile with a uniform curvature radius of the tread cross section and suppressing ground shape changes during turning, the control performance during turning is significantly improved compared to conventional products
Available in Japan in 2022, probably not available in Europe until 2023."

has finally addressed the subject of the motorcycle tyre age more extensively. Thus, two sets of Michelin Power 2CT DOT 2515 were tested, one of which was stored in a cool and dry place, the second in a direct sun in a greenhouse to make it even faster.
DOT Nummber - "Department of Transportation" tyre age code
Conclusion: "If the storage conditions are favorable, the tires are durable for many years, but they are often much faster in use. Only in the extreme test in the rain did the performance decrease slightly. "

Dmitri Talboom, Product Manager Dunlop Motorcycle EMEA:
“This move to expand the DUNLOP SCOOTSMART tyre range is a significant one that highlights the impressive durability and performance that this dependable all-round tyre has brought to the scooter market since its launch in 2012. ScootSmart’s versatility is reflected in the variety of the models covered by this latest range expansion with three-wheeled, electric and maxi scooters all catered for. We look forward to making further additions to the ScootSmart range later this year.”
The enormous problems with container shipping from the Far East or South America causes delivery problems up to the interruption of the supply chain, as is currently happening in the Suez Canal with a transverse container ship.
The tire industry is not spared from this either.
Since most motorcycle tires are not produced in Europe, there are already enormous delivery delays.
We therefore recommend all motorcyclists to get a suitable set of motorcycle tires in time, so that they can start the 2021 season without hesitation..
Having to ride your motorcycle from home to the trails and back requires the right dual-sport tires that are also street-legal. Dual-sport tires have to offer maximum levels of grip and balance on tarmac and off-road conditions and they must also be DOT certified. To fulfill this need, Dunlop launched a new street-legal trials tire for dual-sport and off-road riders.
Trials tires are a popular choice within the dual-sport community. The DUNLOP K950 is ideal for riders looking for maximum traction in off-road conditions, as the tires feature smaller, tightly packed symmetrical knobs for optimum traction, balance and efficiency. This type of tire is especially good in off-road sections with roots and rocks or hard-packed single tracks.
