Launched in 2006, it features advanced materials and innovative technologies derived from Dunlop's experience in sports tire manufacturing.

Features & Benefits

  • Enhanced Sidewall Rigidity: Incorporates Kevlar fiber to increase resistance to tearing, tension, and heat, ensuring superior control during cornering.
  • Advanced Nanotechnology: Utilizes a rubber compound filled with nanoparticles to improve braking performance on both wet and dry surfaces, increase elasticity, and enhance wear resistance.
  • Asymmetric Tread Design: Offers improved resistance to aquaplaning with a central rib that sharpens steering response and massive shoulder blocks that bolster control during cornering.
  • MRT (Multi-Radius Tread) Technology: Ensures optimal load distribution across the contact patch, enhancing vehicle handling as the center of gravity shifts.
  • Hybrid Flangeless Carcass: Provides a tighter, more optimal contact patch, achieving excellent directional stability across varying road surfaces.
  • Directional Tread Pattern with Hydro-Cannons: Effectively removes water from the tread area, significantly reducing the risk of aquaplaning and improving grip.
