Dunlop RoadSmart 2 Sport-Touring Motorcycle Tyre

Dunlop motorcycle tyres goal is simple: produce a motorbike tyre that will work in all weather conditions, on all types of bikes. A tyre that would instil confidence in the rider whatever the weather, and also be capable of going the distance. In other words, they want to produce the ultimate all-rounder. And it’s calling that rubber the RoadSmart II.

Although the Roadsmart 2 has been introduced quite soon after the award-winning standard RoadSmart, Dunlop claims this version is an evolution, rather than a revolution of the popular sports-touring tyre. The thing is, the technology involved suggests otherwise. Everything, starting from the 2s carcass (new JLB steel belt technology) to its compound (it now features liquid polymer in the make-up) has changed.

Even a new tread pattern has been designed that claims to improve wet grip levels by a substantial 10%! Another aspect that is very important in this day and age is that the longevity of the tyre has been improved by 25% (thanks to better silica dispersion).
