Hmmm...wonder why Dunlop didn't make it easer as in...

T = Tour

M = base Model

L = Light

...and then just keep the 100/200/300 designations. The 2.0/3.0 thing sounds like version numbers rather than product lines.

Looks like someone in the Dunlop marketing department was trying to justify their joby by confusing the market!

I think the idea is to correlate the frame with your swing, F: Fast/Full, M:Medium/Moderate, S: Slow/Short

Are they going to change the 200 Tours?

If F2.0 Tour is the former Bio 200 Tour then the weight is changed (much lower, according to what borgpro said),
the string pattern is 18x20 instead of 16x18 and there are 3 pairs of strings instead of 4 on the bridge portion of the head.

I am willing to stock on Bio 200 Tour if the new version is so much different.
But first I need to make sure I know the specs for the new 200 Tours. So anybody that knows something please reply.
Thanks

The specs listed on the frame (2.0 tour) were almost identical to the former bio 200 non-tour; like weight, balance, and string pattern. The only thing I noticed that the SW seemed a tad higher than the previous non-tour to me when swinging it through the air, but not as high as the previous tour. It just felt a bit more solid than the 200 non-tour (323 grams, 18x20) and I would estimate the SW at 325-330. The other clear difference with the current 200 versions was the round beam, like a Wilson sixone, and not a box beam design anymore. I think It is possible to see this at the pictures.

Finally, someone asked me about other versions and I said ai did not take a look at them but I forgot to mention that I actually did also hold and wield a new 90 si version. I do not recall the name but I think it was still named a 100 something (and not 1.0) but I am not sure anymore, but I do remember it was black with grey (very nice cosmetics), box beam, and 315 grams. Perhaps just the same racket as the current 100 only different paint? Looked very nice though, almost like a PS 6.0 85
The 2.0, as said before, seemed a completely new racket and mold. Felt very nice swinging it, sometimes you have this feeling that balance and weight are just right.... Curious to hit with this 2.0 tour thing!

I can only hope the previous 16 x 18, 333g 200 tours will be under a new name or an option within a 200 Tour range. The 4D/Bio 200 Tours were great sticks and one of only a few lines available that came close to pro specs and worthwhile playing in stock form.

IIRC... F100 Classic or something like that.
I'm sure it's one of the models featured in the "classic" mini line.
Old headshape and beam.
However it is supposed to have the new techs like biofibre, but we all know it's just marketing.

TW just announced that the new biomimetics will be on their site on October 1st

[Shangri La]

Is it already certain there won't be a claasic 300 or its variations like the max 200g or theres still hope? Will the 200 16/19 be classic or new head shape?

Awesome. Hopefully the old bio's will be on sale soon, time to snatch up a few of the 200's

Specs are same as previous model. 315 grams unstrung, same balance. Cool cosmetics.

The 100 does look sweat!! I skipped the Bio100 but got one Euro Bio100 as a collection. I hope this one won't be too stiff like the Bio100.
