Suzuki Italy select Dunlop for its ultimate track bike, GSX-R1000R Ryuyo
Press release available only in original language.
Suzuki has launched the most extreme version of its GSX-R1000R superbike. Building on many years of #racing experience with this series, #suzuki Italy selected highly developed components from the leading technical experts in #racing for the Ryuyo. For tyres, #suzuki turned to #dunlop.
After extensive testing, #suzuki chose to equip its limited edition track model with #dunlop #kr109 front and KR108 rear tyres.
The #dunlop KR range was developed in real competition, and has been used by winners in the Isle of Man TT and in the FIM Endurance World Championship. The KR108 was used by the overall winners of last year’s Le Mans 24 Hours. This was a remarkable result for a commercially available tyre in a championship that allows unlimited tyre development. Its enduring performance, wide temperature operating window and consistency made it the winner’s choice.
The #suzuki #gsxr1000rryuyo takes its name from Suzuki’s legendary test track, reputed to be the fastest in the world. The track was designed by Mitsou Ito, the only Japanese winner of the Isle of Man TT, who included many features of the infamous island circuit in his 6.5km test circuit. The track-only superbike has 212cv (210bhp) is based on Suzuki’s project goals of ‘Run, Turn, Stop’. This mantra drove the engineers to focus on acceleration, handling and braking, making tyre traction, stability and grip a crucial factor in achieving the performance goals.
