Dunlop Site

Cost: £293 - fitted Shocked
Bike: Yamaha R1 2006
Aimed At: fast road/track days

Sales Bumpf:
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 new SportSmart.

Multi-Tread gives you high mileage and the confidence to push your bike on wet or dry roads, while Dunlop’s unique NTEC system lets you fine-tune the SportSmart’s inflation pressure for totally connected track day performance. For supersport and hypersport riders, the SportSmart is quite simply the tyre you’d design for yourself

Benefits:
Tour, road, track: new crossover performance tyre answers every need
NTEC construction acts as a mechanical grip booster at low infl ation pressure for track day use
New 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

Review:

These came highly recommended from an acquaintance and they are highly praised in the press so i thought I'd give them a try. I've had these on now for a couple of months and have done a track day or two with the usual road hammering.
I can confirm that they are indeed black and round.

Be interested to know what sort of miles you get out of them

Use Roadsmarts on the ZZR and would take a lot of convincing that there is a better tyre for Hyperbikes.

I used sportsmarts at spa last year on my gixer with no complaints,rode to spa and back plus the trackday and still had 3mm of tread left in the centre Cool also done brands GP in the wet and grip was good with plenty of warning when they were getting close to letting go.

Had a set fitted to the Tuono today. Dunlop and several guys on TuonoWorld forum recommend them for the Aprilia. Need them to last beyond the trip to Scotland, so will be keeping an eye on milage and wear.
