Dunlop Introduces Softest Ever Moto2 Tyre. Find Out More

The FIM Moto2 and Moto3 World Championships resumed last weekend with the Grand Prix of Styria at Austria's Red Bull Ring, following a mid-season break. Dunlop has had a record-breaking season as the exclusive tyre supplier for both championships, with a number of lap and race records broken in Moto2.

Dunlop tyres have taken riders to five outright lap records and five race lap records in the first ten Moto2 races of 2021, demonstrating the Dunlop range's one-lap speed. However, in a competition as competitive as Moto2, consistency is crucial, and the fact that three-race lengths have been the fastest ever indicates that race-long performance is increasing as well.

Remy Gardner leads the Moto2 championship standings as the season nears its halfway point, having won three races in a row in Italy, Catalonia, and Germany. Pedro Acosta of the Red Bull KTM Ajo team is the man to watch in Moto3. On Sunday, the Spaniard expanded his championship lead with his fifth win in ten races, a remarkable achievement in a class known for its close racing.

New supersoft Moto2 rear tyre introduced

Dunlop will allow teams the opportunity to use a brand-new supersoft rear Moto2 tyre in this weekend's second race at the Red Bull Ring. The new compound is the softest ever raced in Moto2, and it will provide riders with much more grip than the current soft ‘1' specification.

Stephen Bickley, Staff Engineer - Moto Track & Grand Prix, Dunlop, explains the introduction of this new supersoft tyre: "The Red Bull Ring is one of the most traction dependent tracks visited on the Grand Prix calendar, so it’s the perfect place to give teams the chance to try the softest tyre ever raced in Moto2. On a race weekend, we work closely with every team to help them extract the maximum performance from the tyres, and this round will be no different. The key challenge will be to balance the rear performance with the front tyre, and ensuring a stable pace over a race distance. 

"Even though this is the softest tyre ever used in Moto2, we have designed it to perform consistently throughout the entire 25 lap race distance. As always, teams will be able to choose from two front and two rear options. Alongside the '0' spec supersoft, they will have the '1' soft rear tyre available. Every rider chose this tyre last weekend, so we’re interested to see their choices this Sunday."
