The improved climb procedure is a technique to increase the normal V2 speed towards the optimum gradient speed.

The resulting gradient improvement can then be traded for higher weight , or sometimes better obstacle clearance.

With an increase in V2 , Vr has to be increased as well.
(Obviously it will require additional runway)

It sounds strange however to have a Vr higher then V2.
Allthough there seems to be no requirement that V2 must be higher then Vr !

What airplane are you talking about anyway ?
