Replacing the highly popular SportSmart Mk3 in the range, which was launched in 2019, the new SportSmart mk4 represents a substantial improvement thanks to relentless continuous development of every component in the tire. Designed for use predominantly on roads, SportSmart mk4 sits in the range alongside the road/track focused SportSmart TT.
New compound delivers improved wet weather performance:
The new tire&rsquos compound enables dramatically improved wet weather performance with a 20% gain in traction on low grip surfaces and an 18% improvement on medium grip surfaces, along with improved dry weather traction (Compared to Dunlop SportSmart Mk3 in 120/70ZR17 front and 180/55ZR17 rear.) The new MultiTread compound features a new polymer blend and the latest high surface area silica, wet and dry grip resins and &lsquoFine Carbon&rsquo technology.
Race-winning technology gives a more precise and rewarding ride:
The SportSmart mk4 features most of Dunlop&rsquos key technologies and benefits from the latest advances in motorcycle tire development, such as Dynamic Front Formula, which helps to obtain the perfect balance between reduced steering effort, grip, stability and feel for the right match between both tires, Carcass Tension Control System to tune the casing tension and optimise the footprint to get the most out of the tread compound, and Single Cord JLB in the front tire.
As a result, SportSmart mk4 gives riders an easy turn-in, low-effort direction changes, excellent steering precision and neutral behaviour in corners. Rider comfort is improved for a more enjoyable and precise ride on bumpy or poorly maintained roads.
&ldquoFeedback from test riders indicates a near absence of stand-up when braking at lean, and that the tires are impervious to load changes in general,&rdquo explains Dmitri Talboom, Product Manager, Dunlop Motorcycle Europe. &ldquoThis is an indication of the improvements our R&D team has made in all aspects of the tire&rsquos performance to give sports bike riders of all abilities a rewarding experience. The most demanding riders will value the incredible level of performance, especially in colder or wet conditions, while other riders will notice the precision, ease of turn-in and added comfort to make their rides more enjoyable.&rdquo
SportSmart mk4 sits in Dunlop&rsquos premium hypersport range alongside SportSmart TT (50/50 road/track use), D212 GP Racer (for track days) and GP Pro D213 (a race tire for championships that mandate road-legal tires). The existing SportSmart Mk3 will be maintained in a limited number of sizes.
