Dunlop has launched its third new hypersport tyre in just six months. The all-new D213 GP Pro has been designed for serious, pro, riders and is the successor to the legendary Isle of Man TT winning D212 GP Pro.

Following a? race winning debut of key sizes and compounds in major motorsport championships, Dunlop has brought forward the introduction of the full range to July. Designed for the type of rider who has race team technical support and will have a full race set-up on their sports bike, Dunlop has introduced a range of new technologies into the latest D213 GP Pro.

New Advanced Front Tyre Construction

Following successful tests in motorsport, Dunlop has introduced the latest generation of its Jointless belt (JLB) construction to the front tyre. The latest JLB design features three plies which are proven to control the deformation of the tyre under high centrifugal forces and when leaning over into corners at speed.? This new JLB construction has also been designed to provide additional precision and stability under heavy braking.

The latest JLB construction has been introduced in parallel to a new front profile shape.? This combination of technologies provides a greater contact patch at all lean angles, reduced steering effort and a highly responsive turn-in.

New construction for rear tyre

The use of Dunlops renowned JLB continues in the rear tyre construction. Here, the Mono Ply high tensile Aramid JLB provides the benefit of a strong but lightweight carcass providing an extremely high level of predictability, feedback and performance consistency.

Endurance Rear Option

Dunlop has added an endurance rear option to the D213 GP Pro range. As the most successful tyre manufacturer in the history of the FIM Endurance World Championship, Dunlop has applied the learnings from this success to the bespoke new endurance rear tyre. This features Dunlops latest Heat Control Technology which increases the tyres resistance to tearing. Heat Control Technology includes a two-layer compound with a strong and enduring outer compound complemented by base compounds which optimize running temperatures in all seasons and track configurations.

Radical Fin-shape pattern with optimised groove angles

The highly distinctive tread pattern has been designed to optimize warm up times and provide maximum road contact in dry conditions.
