Dunlop launch successor to 5 star rated TrailSmart.
Dunlop’s acclaimed TrailSmart has been replaced in key sizes with the new TrailSmart Max. The latest tyre builds on the highly regarded predecessor’s magazine test winning wet and dry grip but adds new technologies that have been proven to improve handling and durability – perfect for riders planning a lengthy adventure.
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’.
With the new compound for even more grip under changing road conditions from dry to wet, the ContiAttack SM EVO draws an uncompromisingly safe line. Easy handling, zero-degree steel belt design, TractionSkin and an easily-controllable limit area make the ContiAttack SM EVO the ultimate Supermoto and small Sport Bike tire for the road or track.
BRIDGESTONE BATTLAX TOURING T31
In addition to boosting stability and handling performance, Bridgestone has developed a new front-tyre compound for T31 with higher rubber flexibility. This enhances the bite “feel” in the wet, giving riders more confidence in tricky conditions. Providing higher camber thrust due to a bigger contact patch in all lean angles is bringing the fun factor on Sport Touring bikes to a new level as dry handling improved as well next to the bigger steps in the wet conditions.²
BRIDGESTONE BATTLAX ADVENTURE A41
Bridgestone upgrades Battlax performance in the Adventure segment with the improved wet grip and handling of A41, without sacrificing the mileage of its A40 predecessor. The package features triple-layer compound technology on front and rear, with a cap & base configuration that improves cornering stability. Of particular interest for the majority of bikers who ride Adventure machines on road, Bridgestone tests recorded 8%³ faster lap times for the new Battlax A41 on a wet handling track demonstrating the extra performances and safety they will get on the road.
A41 becomes your NEW trail on road partner which makes your travel, whatever the condition, an undefinable experience. Trust and confidence were the aims of this full new development. The total performance package in dry and in particular wet conditions without sacrificing anything on wear life, made a big step forward. Never be afraid of sudden rain of wet weather conditions. By adopting multi-compound layer technology (3LC) for both front and rear in a cap and base configuration together with the innovative pattern design and groove positioning, it improves the water drainage and the grip level in tricky conditions. By revising the construction to find the right contact property in order to operate in harmony with the improved compound characteristics, the Battlax Adventure A41 is providing the confidence and contact feel needed to tackle the most incredible roads.
BRIDGESTONE SCOOTER SC2 / SC2 RAIN
Bridgestone has applied the new Battlax Sport-Touring T31 wet technology to SC2 Rain, giving maxi scooter riders a safe, confident ride in changeable weather. Wet performance is enhanced by the higher void ratio in a tread design tuned to balance straight-line stability and sharp handling response. New rubber compounds have been developed offering an exceptional grip feel on cold and wet surfaces. BRIDGESTONE SC 2

Recently, Harley Davidson approved the latest Dunlop GT 502 for its new XL1200 CX Roadster. These two new GT502 sizes feature an all-new radial construction that is designed to suit the sportier nature of the latest Roadster with its dynamic suspension and upgraded braking components.
For the Geomax MX 12, Dunlop’s U.S. race team joined forces with DPG and Dunlop’s European MXGP World Championship racing team to develop the tire on tracks here and in Europe, including testing on some of Europe’s “bottomless sand” tracks on the world MX championship schedule.
Designed for soft-terrain applications, the MX12 excels in extreme sand and mud conditions. Dunlop’s goal with this tire was to increase overall performance in a broader range of conditions—for example maintaining the tire’s high level of grip on muddy tracks even when the mud begins to dry out.
