With the Sportmax GP Racer D209, real race performance has never been so accessible. And the GP Racer's performance envelope is so big we're not afraid to recommend it for street use - check the fitment guide for the latest approvals.

Why is the GP Racer's race performance so accessible? With JLB rear tyre construction and fast but progressive handling, it's been designed as a tyre that's easy for riders to set their bikes up with. No more time-consuming fine-tune tweaking of suspension; the GP Racer is as close to a fit-and-forget performance boost as you're likely to get. And because of its rock solid stability, fast warm-up and forgiving nature it's also a fantastic super-high performance road tyre.

But not only have our engineers made GP Racer D209 easy to get on with they've raised the bar further by giving it our TTC technology. Developed in the white-hot heat of 250GP and the AMA Supersport and Superstock Championships, as well as other superbike championships around the world, TTC has many benefits for the rider:

• Increased grip as the bike is leaned over
• Improved tread life
• Increased traction for faster acceleration and safer braking
• Greater grip consistency over a longer time
• Improved high-speed stability
• Improved even-wear characteristics
• Rapid warm-up, especially of tread shoulders

So if those are TTC's benefits are there any drawbacks? None that we can think of.

To prove its pedigree the GP Racer D209 has been chosen for the 2008 ACU Suzuki GSX-R Trophy.

If you're looking for the ultimate tyre for track days, or club racing, or hard street riding, or maybe all three disciplines, you can stop looking. Sportmax GP Racer D209 is that tyre.
