MOTO RACING - AMA DSB: Dunlop Details '12 Race Tire
As the official tire of AMA Road Racing, Dunlop has continued
to develop new products, and in keeping with that commitment Dunlop proudly
announces its newest premium race
tire, the 190/60ZR17 D211GPA. Built for racing in the AMA Daytona SportBike and
SuperSport classes, this new tire will be available initially in two compounds,
and a third compound will be released later in the season.
Sabastian Mincone, Dunlop Senior Road Race
Manager, described the tire as follows: “This new tire shares the same technology
contained within the proven 200/55R17 slicks; it’s an MT Multi-Tread™ tire with
N-Tec construction and IRP (Intuitive Response Profileâ„¢) technology. By using
this new rear size, racers will be able to increase corner speed and
acceleration out of corners. This tire will be well suited for use in AMA
Daytona SportBike and SuperSport classes, as well as for use in most club races
where DOT tires are required. This tire represents the culmination of a great
deal of R&D work by Dunlop staff as well as input gathered from many top
racers in the U.S. and we are very proud of this accomplishment, which will
serve to help make AMA road racing even more exciting in the coming season.â€
The new 190/60ZR17 D211GPA is available to
road racers through Dunlop's race tire distributor Race Tire Service (RTS) who
can be contacted at dunlopracing.com.
Full set $375
