Dunlop has announced they will launch a fourth new tyre in their hypersport portfolio in March 2018. The Dunlop SportSmart TT has been developed to meet the needs of riders with the very latest sports bikes and performance roadsters who want to use the same tyre on track and for road riding.

The name SportSmart TT derives from Dunlop’s road focused SportSmart range and adds the letters TT, which refer to “Track Technology”.

The launch of the SportSmart TT marks Dunlop’s comeback to a segment of the market where they last competed with the renowned Qualifier RR over a decade ago.

The SportSmart TT is the fourth new Dunlop hypersport tyre to be launched in the past year and completes Dunlop’s strategy, announced last year, of taking a new approach to the segment in redefining their range around the goal of a ‘tyre for every rider’.

After decades of collaboration, the brand with the long"P" was selected by the company from Schiranna as sole tyre supplier and, to celebrate this agreement, a dedicated version of the MV-AGUSTA Brutale 800 RR was designed in a limited production that can be enhanced with exclusive coloured tyres

The “ Brutale 800 RR PIRELLI ” was created by MV Agusta along with Pirelli Design, the Bicocca laboratory specialised in conceiving design projects in collaboration with partners par excellence and it will be on display in the MV Agusta stand at EICMA

Dunlop has announced the launch of their latest tyre for the hypersport sector. Designed for ultimate street performance but with track capability, the latest

Dunlop SportSmart 2 Max

combines learnings taken from Dunlop’s World championship winning endurance racing programme with the experience gained in developing the revolutionary RoadSmart III Sport Touring tyre.

Dunlop Europe’s development team aimed for high objectives in the development of the latest tyre.  The previous SportSmart2 had built a strong reputation for ultimate grip, and the replacement had to maintain this advantage but set a new testing benchmark for handling, feedback and low wear.

In the magazin "MOTORRAD"   nr 12, the latest sports motorcycle tire test has been released. The 6 current tires from Bridgestone, Continental Dunlop, Metzeler, Michelin and Pirelli were tested on a Yamaha R1 in size
120/70 ZR17 and 190/55 ZR17 A sports rider must buy new tires at least once or twice a year, as the wear on the PS Monsters is significantly higher. The tests were carried out at the Goodyear Dunlop test site in Mireval, France. As can be simulated on evenly irrigated passages, rain trips.
