What kind of tire is TT100GP?

The TT100GP radial is a radial tire that is perfect for neoclassic vehicles that have become a major boom in recent years.

The history of the TT100 GP is old, and has been supported by many old car owners and custom users in the traditional pattern from the TT100 that was active in the Isle of Man TT race in 1969.

The TT100GP Radial is a neo-classical tire that has been developed so that the legendary tire that symbolizes such Dunlop can be worn safely with the latest neo-classical bike.

From the difference in tread stiffness, it is not simple to radialize TT100 GP, which was originally biased. At first glance this is a pattern that can only be seen on the TT100GP, but if we put the radial and bias models this time. Evolution is seen in a considerable part. It's really neoclassical!

The tire selected as the base for radialization is the popular GPR-300 for its linear handling and good feeling of ground contact.

A ride that is neutral and flawless

I immediately tried to ride!

As with the GPR-300 that was the basis of the ride, it is finished in a tire that is very easy to ride with no haze. If it is this riding taste, anything from town riding to long touring can be done.

This test ride was running on the Z900RS, but since the place was a circuit, I tried to ride with a slight flying feeling! I did not expect to run so far, but I firmly grip it in my mind. Even if I flew a little, I was able to turn naturally without getting out of the target line. The impact absorption to the road surface gap was also excellent, and it was a tire that does not feel a sense of fear at all even if there are vertical grooves due to cracks in the corners.

It's wonderful than you might imagine, and if you're at such a pace that you can fly the winding a little, you will almost never feel a lack of grip and ride.

Expressing the impression after the test drive in a single word

"It's very easy to get on"

I don't feel the lack of grip that is typical of high grip tires, and I can still run the winding well. Moreover, the design is good. Because it is a neo-classical bike that can be used from city riding to touring, it may not be the perfect tire for riding on an all-rounder that can handle anything.

Does the TT100GP also look great on the XSR900?

TT100GP radial that tends to be focused on the compatibility between something and the appearance with the Z900RS, but it looks great with XSR and CB1100 too!

When you look at it like this, there is no sense of incongruity at all like genuine wearing.

Recent tires are not so important to the performance, many tires do not fit the classic atmosphere, so good design for neo-classic like TT100GP radial! Good running! Many users may have been waiting for a good tire.

Even from the rear! I look good!

It will not be the design of the past TT100 GP as it is, but it will look so well because the modern taste is added.

Custom parts for tires too

Speaking of tires, I think that there are many riders who think that they are just consumables, but the tires will have different riding characteristics and characteristics due to the difference in groove design and compound, and the difference in profiles.

It seems like the custom parts that the performance changes with the tires to be installed! ?

Among them, the design of the groove that becomes the face of the tire is also an exterior part that greatly changes the image of the vehicle that is only visible and out of the vehicle.

The TT100GP Radial, which has been impressed this time, has been designed with a design that is conscious of its custom elements, and is finished in a tire that matches the appearance and running of a modern neoclassic bike.

Tires worn on neo-classic bikes are determined by the TT100GP radial! !
