By creating the first practical pneumatic tire in 1888, John Boyd Dunlop began more than a tire company—he pioneered an entire industry

Driven by innovative technology, Dunlop introduced the first use of Kevlar belts in motorcycle tires; produced the first original-equipment radial street tire; and continues to lead the industry with revolutionary firsts, such as the 20-inch front tire for off-road use, and premium tires for mini-bike riders who may be short in stature but are long on talent.

Sportmax SportSmart Key Features
• Superb on road, track or tour, the new SportSmart crossover performance tyre fulfils all needs.
• Delivering stunning wet performance for HyperSport and SuperSport motorcycles, the new SportSmart will provide the right level of confidence whatever the road conditions.
• NTEC construction acts as a mechanical grip booster at low inflation pressure for track days: standard pressure for road use, lower pressure for dry track day use.
• MultiTread layout front and rear is based on the highly successful D211 GP race tyre.

 

NTEC technology
Riders talk about ‘the edge’. At track days, the edge is the difference between an everyday ride and a truly memorable experience. Dunlop’s ingenious NTEC pressure-adjust system provides that edge.

NTEC technology allows the rider to optimise the tyre by adjusting inflation pressure. For dry track days, deflating the NTEC tyre will deliver predictable and tenacious handling on the limit. Back on the road, reinflating to the manufacturer’s recommended pressures will reward the rider with class-leading levels of grip and performance.

 

Multi-Tread (MT) technology
Multi-Tread (MT) technology is one of our latest innovations. Years of success in global Superbike, Endurance and GP championships have resulted in the development of a pioneering multi-compound, which is transferred to many of our current Sportmax track and road products.

The central traction compound contacts the road when the motorcycle is upright. It uses a tougher, cooler-running compound that maintains straight-line stability, traction, braking and longer tread life. The lateral compound that contacts the road when the motorcycle is leaning over incorporates a rubber compound specifically developed to enhance grip at maximum lean angles.

During Independent testing performed by Dekra in January 2010 on a SUZUKI GSX-R 1000 (2009) on 120/70ZR17 and 190/50ZR17 the Dunlop SportSmart achieved 20% better mileage compared to Michelin Power Pure, 30% better mileage than Pirelli Diablo Rosso and 40% better mileage than Bridgestone Battlax BT-016.
