When it comes to testing tyres, the motorcycle industry has for a long time recognised that Motorrad Magazine are the leaders in their field.
Their expert independent test riders score all tyres in a number of areas, covering performance in both wet and dry conditions. Recently it was the turn of classic tyres to come under scrutiny, and we’re pleased to report that Continental were the runaway winners of the test with the ContiRoadAttack 2 CR and ContiClassicAttack radials – a remarkable 20 points ahead of their nearest rivals!
Dunlop has announced the launch of their latest tyre for the hypersport sector. Designed for ultimate street performance but with track capability, the latest
combines learnings taken from Dunlop’s World championship winning endurance racing programme with the experience gained in developing the revolutionary RoadSmart III Sport Touring tyre.
Dunlop Europe’s development team aimed for high objectives in the development of the latest tyre. The previous SportSmart2 had built a strong reputation for ultimate grip, and the replacement had to maintain this advantage but set a new testing benchmark for handling, feedback and low wear.
DUNLOP D-606 the 10% road 90% off-road enduro tyre.
Key Features
With the new Dunlop GPR-300 motorcycle tire, Dunlop is now expanding its range of sporty all-round road tires in Germany.
The tire, specially developed for sport bikes with a smaller displacement of 300 cc (such as Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha and KTM), offers a lot of performance for little money and is available in 11 sizes. Product advantages are the particularly smooth handling, due to the light carcass construction, the high stability and the neutral driving behavior.

120/70 ZR17 and 190/55 ZR17 A sports rider must buy new tires at least once or twice a year, as the wear on the PS Monsters is significantly higher. The tests were carried out at the Goodyear Dunlop test site in Mireval, France. As can be simulated on evenly irrigated passages, rain trips.

EIGHT BRANDS, 11 MODELS, TWO CATEGORIES - This time eight tire manufactures stepped up to the plate, including Avon, Bridgestone, Continental, Dunlop, Michelin, Metzeler, Pirelli and Shinko. We asked each to submit one or more samples of its current sport rubber designed for highperformance street riding (not racing) in 120/70-17 front and 190/55-17 rear fitment for a 2014 Suzuki GSX-R1000. We then divided the models into two categories: ‘A’ and ‘B’. The A group are the premium, top-of-the-line tires in each manufacturer’s respective line-up, while the B group represent a more affordable, but still capable sport tire solution.
PIRELLI DIABLO SUPERCORSA SP "This is the tire. The first thing I noticed is how tall the rear tire was. It really modifies the dynamic of the motorcycle. It puts more weight on the front and helps its steering response. What more can you ask for? Immediate warm-up time, incredible Velcro-like grip through all parts of the turn with loads of that precious feel that makes you want to push the bike harder. My favorite tire of the bunch and the one that I’d mount on my bike for performance riding."
120/70 ZR17 (58W) DIABLO SUPERCORSA SP V2
190/55 R17 (75W) DIABLO SUPERCORSA SP V2
