Dunlop is proud to present its ROADSMART rear tyre
The Sportmax RoadSmart features new technologies to ensure an exceptionally balanced performance. This tyre offers the best compromise between mileage, traction, comfort, stability and manoeuvrability. The RoadSmart provides optimal performance in all riding conditions.
Multi-Tread (MT) technology uses two different rubber compounds. There is a harder and sturdier rubber in the core for excellent mileage and a more flexible and adhesive compound on the shoulder to meet the cornering requirements of 1000cc Supersport motorbikes.
Unique tread pattern with an optimised full/empty ratio and deeper grooves in the central area for improved performance on wet surfaces. The RoadSmart is the perfect tyre for any motorcycle in any conditions.

• New special compounds to ensure the perfect balance between traction on wet surfaces and mileage performance
• New polymers to improve tread pattern durability and traction
• Jointless Belt (JLB) on the front for better responsiveness and straight-line precision
• FS-JLB (Flex Steel JointLess Belt) structure that adapts JLB cord density between the front and rear for better shock absorption, rider comfort and stability.

Handling, braking, comfort, etc. The tyres you choose affect numerous aspects of your machine's behaviour, whether on the road, the racetrack or off-roading. Therefore it is essential that you carefully choose the type that fits your needs best.
To help you, here are a few explanations that will help you decipher the information on motorcycle tyres:

• Dimensions: tyre width in millimetres and tyre height as a percentage of this width. E.g. 190/55, for a 190 mm width and 55% height
• Structure: radial (ZR or R) or diagonal (B), both tyres must be identical for this criteria
• Diameter: expressed in inches, e.g. 17 or 19
• Load index: the maximum load that the tyre can withstand
• Speed index: the maximum speed that the tyre can withstand
• M/C indicator: tyre use, M/C for motorcycles
• With or without inner tube TL (tubeless) for tyres without inner tubes, TT (tubetype) with innertube

In some cases, other information may appear, generally associated with the trade name of the tyre. Here is an example:

• A: Kawasaki
• C, F or GT: BMW specification
• E or B: Special carcass for heavy or loaded motorcycles
• G: Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha specification
• GTW: Heavy, fast and powerful Grand Touring motorcycles
• H: Honda specification
• K: Extremely fast motorcycles
• M: Suzuki tyres fitted on new bikes
• N: For Aprilia, Honda Ducati, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, Triumph
• RF: Reinforced tyre
• WW: Tyre with white sidewalls

Other references of lesser importance are also found on the wall of motorcycle tyres (country of manufacture, DOT markings, etc.)
Remember to check your tyre pressure on a regular basis. It will ensure longer durability and increased performance!
