The Dunlop KR106 Slick is a premium, competition-grade tire meticulously engineered for professional and amateur motorcycle racers, as well as dedicated track day enthusiasts. This tire is designed to push the limits on the track. As a slick tire, the KR106 forgoes a traditional tread pattern in favor of a maximized contact patch, delivering exceptional levels of dry grip and responsive handling.
The KR106 is constructed with a very soft compound, further enhancing grip and allowing for lower tire pressures to achieve optimal performance. This specialized compound is formulated to provide racers with the confidence needed for aggressive cornering and maximum acceleration. Sidewalls are stabilized with belt-to-carcass angles, creating responsive transitions between maximum lean angles. The innovative NTEC system allows riders to lower tire pressures for ultimate grip on the track.
Compared to other tires in its class, the Dunlop KR106 is known for its stability under hard acceleration and braking. It is also known to maintain its performance for longer periods, whereas other tires' grip may fall off after only a few laps. The KR106 has been used by winners in the FIM Endurance World Championship, proving its lasting durability and consistency as well as the outright performance. The KR106 is designed for use with KR108 rears.
