I thought this thread was going to be about an unbeatable IoM TT racer

I thought it was going to be about a tyre.
Whatever it's about, it's "currently unavailable".

These have been around for years. I had a go on a Dursoduro years back with these and I loved the thing. Handled predicatably, just when rolling it around you can feel the "knobbles".

I imagine they would be great in the wet

Its a brand new tyre, Cav.

Its a sign of how the bike market is changing that a dual purpose tyre is getting a high profile release by Dunlop.

They've used the Mutant name before then, with an identical, or at least very similar role in mind. For probably ten years, and perhaps more.
