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.�
