With the introduction of the Sportmax GP, Dunlop has accomplished a feat totally unprecedented: produce a multi-compound tire that matches the rock-solid stability and predictability of the legendary D208 GP-A, while also enhancing the cornering grip necessary to exploit the full potential of today’s Supersport racing motorcycles.

“What we’ve done with the Sportmax GP is produce a tire that, all things being equal, is faster around the race course,” said Dunlop’s Motorcycle Racing Manager David Watkins. “Our goal was to increase the performance of the D208 without sacrificing wear or stability, and we succeeded. We know we’ve succeeded because we have perfected these tires in the crucible of racing, and there is no more demanding development environment than the track.”
