Dunlop Sportmax GPRa-11 Released For Track And Street
From Goodyear & Dunlop Tyres Australia
Dunlop has released its latest generation track & street tyre with the arrival of the all new Sportmax GPRa-11.

Specifically developed for today’s Hypersport riders who expect the ultimate grip from their tyres, the GPRa-11 features technology gathered from Dunlop’s strong involvement with racing.

Ken Wieden, Dunlop’s Motorcycle Manager said that the GPRa-11 is designed for both the track day and street rider.

“It incorporates Dunlop’s exclusive “Multi Tread” MT technology and uses the optimum ratio of race and sports compounds to offer the highest grip levels for track and street use combined with superior tread wear,” Mr Wieden said.

“The new rear tyre profile enables an increase in contact area at extreme lean angles, while the front tyre profile offers razor sharp steering response with confidence inspiring handling.”

Available in a range of sizes to suit most modern sports bikes of 600cc and over, the GPRa-11 is well priced in the premium sports segment with fronts starting around $210 and rears around $310. The GPRa-11 will soon be available at a Dunlop stockist near to you.

Done a lot of research on the PR2's and not a bad report yet :D
Triangle tyres ZX9? you should be running the course not taking it :shock:
Wattie there are no chicken strips on his rear tyre, if the front looked like the back it
would be matched with scratch's 'n' shit on his fairing :D
