The most successful manufacturer in the history of the Tourist Trophy (TT), Dunlop combines vintage tread design and today's chemistry to design its TT100 GP Radial. Cutting-edge race-oriented performance with authentic design.
Drawing inspiration from the brand's history and its numerous race victories on the Isle of Man, the new TT100 GP Radial remembers the factory Triumph Bonneville, shod in Dunlop K81 and driven by Malcolm Uphill surpassing the bar of 100 mph on the mountainous route of the TT, without forgetting the current era, the proof: he will take the start of the next edition of the Tourist Trophy Classic in a few days.
A contemporary construction for the front, to offer good handling and an easy machine for everyday use, a rear inheriting the JLB belt (Jointless belt) eliminating tread overlaps for more contact surface on the ground and better maneuverability... This new 2019 product is entitled to know-how which is reminiscent of the latest Hypersport rubbers signed Dunlop but adapted to Neo Retro sports cars, well placed in the sales charts. We therefore find silica for good grip at low temperatures, a mix of rubber for greater performance and specific chemistry (combining a Dunlop polymer with this silica) for an increased lifespan.
Luca Davide Andreoni, Marketing Director, Dunlop Motorcycle Europe: “ We've combined some of Dunlop's latest innovations with one of our most iconic tread designs. Whether it's a classic motorcycle tuned to deliver a modern level of performance or a new Neo Retro sportbike, the Dunlop TT100 GP Radial gives them an authentic look with contemporary technology.
The Dunlop TT100 GP range now includes three Front and three Rear sizes. With this dimensional kit, we are targeting more than 60 motorcycle models developed by 16 different manufacturers.
