Dunlop 120/70-17 D213GP Pro MS1 Front Tyre - 58W Radial TL

The Dunlop D213 GP Pro Motorcycle Tyre is the successor of the Isle of Man winning D212 GP Pro, offering exhilarating handling, pro level endurance and genuine race tyre performance.

The D213 GP Pro is able to control deformation under centrifugal forces that in turn provides excellent high speed and braking stability, predictable cornering behaviour and improved braking efficiency due to the use of the new Aramid JLB and Polyester ply construction. All Dunlop's radial street tyres are designed using a combination of Computer Aided Design (CAD) technology and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) as well as JointLess Belt (JLB) construction (either front or rear). JLB construction eliminates the belt overlaps resulting in smoother handling and a more stable contact patch with the road.

The Rear Tyre has had the compound developed to include the finely tuned Heat Control Technology that controls the tyre temperature based on your needs, to provide you with wide operating windows and a consistent performance across a race stint. HCT combines a long-lasting outer compound with a heat generating and performance-enhancing base layer for maximum durability as well as increased outright grip. The Tyres also use Multi-Tread (MT) Technology. Years of success in global Superbike, Endurance and GP championships have resulted in the development of a pioneering multi-compound, which is transferred to many of our current Sportmax track and road products. By mixing compounds, the same tyre can display different performance properties at maximum leaning angles than when upright during straight line speed.

The Front and Rear have new profile which offer a larger contact patch at all lean angles that will not only reduce steering effort and improve handling, but also provide increased grip and stability. There is also a new innovative tread pattern which ensures the warm up time is fast, the wear of the Tyre is optimised due to tuned tread stiffness and enhanced groove angles. There is also a Jointless Tread (JLT) strip-winding technology allows multiple compounds to be precisely positioned on the tyre to achieve advantages in durability, wear resistance, grip from the tread centre to shoulder and high-speed tyre stability.

These Tyre's also feature the Dunlop NTEC pressure adjust system which allows the rider to change the performance of the Tyre by adjusting inflation pressure. For dry track days, deflating the tyre will deliver predictable and tenacious handling on the limit. Back on the road, re-inflating to the manufacturer’s recommended pressures will reward the rider with class-leading levels of grip and performance. There is also a Carcass Tension Control System (CTCS) which controls casing stress distribution, optimising the tension in different areas, resulting in more consistent and controlled line holding, straight-line traction and better feedback.

Compound Information - The D213 Tyres are available in a range of differing compounds (with additional RACE options), please see the attached images for further compound guidance.
