Dunlop SportSmart Mk4

The SportSmart MK4 Motorcycle Tyre is the latest Hypersport tyre from Dunlop, featuring improvements to build on the SportSmart Mk3s high level of dynamic road performance for a wide variety of sports bikes. Like its predecessor the SportSmart Mk4 features Dunlops MultiTread compound on the rear tyre, which combines a stronger centre compound, and softer shoulder compounds to deliver the best combination of durability and cornering performance. The front tyre has the same compound blend as the rear tyres shoulder across its whole tread width, offering the same reassuring behaviour and feedback regardless of lean angle. The SportSmart mk4 sits in Dunlops premium hypersport range alongside the SportSmart TT (50/50 road/track use), the D212 GP Racer (for track days) and GP Pro D213 (a race tyre for championships that mandate road legal tyres).

• New MultiTread compound features a new polymer blend and the latest high surface area silica, wet and dry grip resins and Fine Carbon technology. Together, these help to reduce warm up time and gain grip and traction on colder days as well as reduce rolling resistance to improve mileage.
• The SportSmart Mk4s new compound enables dramatically improved wet weather performance with a 20% gain in traction on low grip surfaces and an 18% improvement on medium grip surfaces compared to the SportSmart Mk3, along with improved dry weather traction.
• Dynamic Front Formula technology developed for top level Supersport and Superbike racing is used on the SportSmart Mk4 on the front tyre. This helps to obtain the perfect balance between reduced steering effort, grip, stability and feel for the right match between both tyres, and Carcass Tension Control System to tune the casing tension and optimise the footprint to get the most out of the tread compound.
