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

Product features Trailmax TR91
Take your trail bike or adventure tourer off the main road with Dunlop’s Trailmax TR91.
It has been specifically engineered for the growing number of riders who want new experiences – the kind that aren’t always found on numbered roads.
Silica-improved tread compounds boost wet and dry grip to give top level traction in any situation, on or off road, dry or wet.
The result is a dual-purpose tyre that blends all of Dunlop’s road and dirt tyre knowledge together to deliver precise handling, confident traction and long-distance comfort across a wide range of surfaces and conditions – and low wear rates.
Dunlop’s multiple championship winning KR106 (front) and KR108 (rear) competition tyres are now on general release to amateur racers and track day enthusiasts.
Designed exclusively for racetrack use by Dunlop Motorsport’s research and development department, these professional slicks are available in a range of compounds for different track conditions and riding styles.Now adopted by the majority of Dunlop shod race teams, the KR106/KR108 slick combination offers racers the highest levels of grip, braking and handling. The absence of tread allows optimum performance at higher temperatures as the exterior rubber adheres more actively to the track surface.

THE DUNLOP SPORTMAX GP RACER D211 DELIVERS
The launch of the Dunlop Sportmax GP Racer D211 at Dunlop’s exclusive test facility in March of this year saw the evolution of the hugely successful D211 GP race tyre hit the market for consumers to purchase for road and track use. Delivering on Dunlop’s ethos of transferring race proven technology to the road, the GP Racer D211 took all the knowledge and cutting edge Dunlop know-how from the D211 GP race tyre to deliver a consumer product that excels. For the first time track day riders could enjoy a tyre that offered fast warm up times, hardcore dry track grip and performance with the added benefit of outstanding wet grip and extended mileage and tyre life.
For the second year running Dunlop has taken an incredible clean sweep with five out of five wins at the Isle of Man TT races. Adding to the unique victory, it was Honda Dunlop rider Ian Hutchinson who took all five victories, the only time in the 101 year history of the TT races that a single rider has swept the board.Hutchinson started the week as he meant to go on, taking the first of the two Superbike races with fellow Honda Dunlop rider Michael Dunlop taking the second spot on the podium. Both riders delivered their convincing result on Dunlop Ntec slicks. The one-two victory was to be repeated in the first of the Supersport races, with Hutchinson, now on Dunlop D211GP tyres, again taking the win followed by Dunlop in the second spot.
