RoadSmart IV: two different versions depending on the bike

The sport touring segment has changed dramatically in recent years mainly due to the overlap of genres with each other. These days, no one is surprised to see naked roadsters or adventure motorcycles focused on the road. That's why Dunlop has taken all of these factors into account when updating its versatile RoadSmart tire.

With these premises, the RoadSmart IV was born. In fact, it has been developed to fit 17 of the 20 best-selling motorcycles in Europe. From road users with adventure bikes like the BMW R1250GS, to crossovers like the Yamaha Tracer or roadsters like the Yamaha MT or Kawasaki Z. All with the aim of creating an incredibly versatile tire in the most po[CENSORED]r sizes (120 / 70Z R17 180 / 55Z R17 and 190 / 55Z R17 front rear).

 

As this tire can cover different types of motorcycle, Dunlop has created two different versions of the RoadSmart IV. A variant called SP, optimized for lighter and sporty road machines; and a second option called GT, tuned to give larger touring bikes greater drivability. They all feature a Dunlop proprietary technology package, with the innovative compound incorporating four all-new grip resins and the JointLess Tread (jointless tread) application for key sizes.
