Our experience in global Superbike, Endurance, GP, Moto2 and road racing championships enables us to transfer pioneering technology from race to road. Our motorcycle and motorsport teams across Europe, Japan and North America share their expertise and success in order to mass produce high performance Sportmax road tyres.

We are continually developing new technologies and compounds inorder to further improve our Sportmax road or street (or both) tyres so that you can always ride with confi dence.

Racers are always happy with the best. And that’s the competition D211 GP, a race tyre that has won consistently at every level of world motorsport – club, national and international – since its launch. Now, the secrets of this all-conquering tyre’s extraordinary success are being made available to the committed road rider. The road-going Sportmax GP Racer D211 tyre’s Multi-Tread compound delivers superb grip, precise feedback and slow wear rates for longer life, and the revolutionary NTEC system provides pressure tuning options that will satisfy the most hard-core track day fanatic as well as the pure sports rider, without compromising mileage.

/ NTEC system allows riders to lower tyre pressures for ultimate grip in track day conditions

/ Multi-Tread (MT) compound technology guarantees rapid warm-up, high stability under braking and totally focussed feedback over a high mileage in all conditions

/ Belt-to-carcass angles are engineered to stabilise sidewalls for smooth, responsive transitions between maximum lean angles

/ Nylon breaker belts and continuously-wound aramid-fi bre tread belt minimise circumferential growth for cooler running and predictable performance under heavy use

ROADSMART II

RACE TO ROAD

Dunlop Motorsport is the exclusive supplier of tyres to the Moto2 and Moto3 World Championships where the world’s very best racers go head-to-head on the most demanding race tracks of the world.

In the precise world of motorcycle racing, where engineering meets cutting-edge computing power, it’s a sobering realisation that the fi nal connection between track and rider is a postage-stamp sized patch of material, which started its life in a tree.

The skill of the Dunlop race tyre engineer is in transforming this basic product of nature into a fi nely honed component. One that is capable of delivering unnatural grip across a remarkably wide range of performance levels, up to and including the rarefi ed ‘win zone’ enabling the most gifted riders to fi nd their edge.

The racing tyre must provide not only ultimate mechanical grip but also accurate answers to a stream of questions in a highly demanding environment. Every question begins with the same phrase – ‘how much?’’ How much grip do I have? How much grip is left? How much braking power will the tyre take? How much acceleration?

World class Dunlop technologies like Multi-Tread and NTEC were developed on the track to answer these di� cult questions. For Dunlop, excellence comes from refi ning and optimising the physical and mental connection between tyre and road. Feedback is crucial, and circular. The experience of the Dunlop street rider is as important as the information stream fl owing from the Dunlop GP champion, pit crew member and race engineer.

The science is exacting and well understood by Dunlop. The result is a winning riding experience on road or track.

/ Road, track. tour: crossover performance tyre answers every need

/ NTEC construction acts as a mechanical grip booster at low infl ation pressure for track day use

/ Construction front and rear derived from ultra-successful D211 GP race tyre

/ Multi-Tread technology front & rear in order to combine high grip and high mileage

/ Available in all popular sizes

Imagine you’ve just been given the chance to design your own sports tyre. What features would it have? Race-quality grip? Wet-roads predictability? Touring mileage? How about all three features in one tyre? That’s exactly what Dunlop has achieved in its dynamic SportSmart. Multi-Tread gives you high mileage and the confi dence to push your bike on wet or dry roads, while Dunlop’s unique NTEC system lets you fi ne-tune the SportSmart’s infl ation pressure for totally connected track day performance. For supersport and hypersport riders, the SportSmart is quite simply the tyre you’d design for yourself.

DEALER STAMP:

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 contacts the road when the motorcycle is leaned over. It incorporates a rubber compound, which is developed specifi cally to enhance grip at maximum lean angles.

All our Sportmax street tyres are designed using a combination of Computer Aided Design (CAD) technology and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) as well as JointLess Belt (JLB) construction (either front or rear).

The use of JLB construction eliminates the belt overlaps that can be found in some tyres, resulting in smoother handling. This type of construction also minimises dynamic growth of the tread centre at high speeds, maintains a stable contact patch and reduces distortion and excessive heat build-up.

MULTI-TREAD (MT) TECHNOLOGY

JOINTLESS BELT CONSTRUCTION

Riders talk about ‘the edge’. At trackdays, the edge is the di� erence 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 infl ation pressure. For dry track days, defl ating the NTEC tyre will deliver predictable and tenacious handling on the limit. Back on the road, re-infl ating to the manufacturer’s recommended pressures will reward the rider with class-leading levels of grip and performance. If you’re interested in lowering your track times without compromising your road safety – and without buying two sets of tyres – NTEC is almost certainly the most cost-e� ective option.

Featuring Multi-Tread (MT) compound technology, the high-performance Sportmax Qualifi er II is designed with real riders’ needs in mind. The Qualifi er II supersport tyre delivers non-stop road feedback, razor-sharp handling accuracy and a high degree of wet road grip.

Multi-Tread (MT) compounds enable fast warm-up and excellent wet and dry road grip without sacrifi cing tread wear, which allows riders to get the best out of their sports bike. Carcass Tension Control System (CTCS) technology allows di� erent areas of the tyre casing to be designed with di� erent tension levels, which control local area sti� ness for better suspension capabilities.

/ Directional tread design optimises pressure distribution to allow smoother performance and reduced step wear

/ Multi-Tread (MT) compounds enable a wide range of operating temperatures for fast warm-up time and enables excellent wet and dry road grip without sacrifi cing tread wear

/ Tyre profi le shapes are designed to maintain a more consistent contact area with the road and minimise steering geometry changes when cornering

/ Lightweight casings deliver responsive, yet progressive handling / JointLess Belt (JLB) rear tyre construction enables superb

high-speed stability and shock absorption
