RIDE WITH CONFIDENCE Our experience in global Superbike, Endurance, GP 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 compaunds in order to further improve out Sportmax street tyres so that you can always ride with confidence

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 new 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.

SPORTMAX MUTANT

MOTO2 - THE NEW CHALLENGE

Featuring Multi-Tread (MT) compound technology, the highperformance Sportmax Qualifier II is designed with real riders’ needs in mind. The Qualifier II supersport tyre delivers non-stop road feedback, razor-sharp handling accuracy and a high degree of wet road grip. New and unique Multi-Tread (MT) compounds enable fast warm-up and excellent wet and dry road grip without sacrificing tread wear, which allows riders to get the best out of their sports bike. Carcass Tension Control System (CTCS) technology allows different areas of the tyre casing to be designed with different tension levels, which control local area stiffness for better suspension capabilities.

The Sportmax Mutant has been specially developed for the challenging demands of supermoto street bike riders. Its aggressive tread pattern, lightweight casings and optimised profiles give an instant handling response, which has been commended by European magazines. Rigorously tested, it also offers excellent grip, even in the worst weather or riding conditions.

Riders talk about ‘the edge’. At trackdays, the edge is the difference 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 inflation pressure. For dry track days, deflating the NTEC tyre will deliver predictable and tenacious handling on the limit. Back on the road, re-inflating 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-effective option.

A new World Championship racing class begins in 2010 – and every motorcycle in it will be running on Dunlop tyres. Moto2 succeeds the 250cc series as a prestigious, fast and cost-effective partner to the MotoGP class. Set up by the Grand Prix Commission (whose members include FIM, the governing body of motorcycle sport, Dorna, the MotoGP promoter and MSMA, the motorcycle manufacturers), the new class will usher in an exciting new era of creativity. Moto2’s gearboxes, wheel sizes and 600cc four-stroke engines will be the same for all competitors, but frame and swingarm design has been left open. This freedom in chassis design will require a special tyre – one capable of dealing with a widely varying degree of inputs and stresses. The Grand Prix Commission’s unanimous selection of Dunlop as sole tyre supplier for at least three Moto2 seasons is a recognition of the company’s expertise gained in over fifty years of continuous participation in Grand Prix racing.

The Multi-Tread (MT) Sportmax Roadsmart has revolutionised the sport touring sector since its launch in 2008. An all-round performer, it offers a wide variety of fitments from roadster and naked to GT and supersport bikes. Praised for its straight-line stability, and superb handling on the track, road and in wet weather conditions by leading European journalists, it has been rated as a leading sports touring tyre in comparison tests. Overall, the Sportmax Roadsmart gives savvy riders the best combination of mileage, grip, handling and stability.

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.

Multi-Tread (MT) Technology is one of our latest innovations. Years of success in global Superbike, Endurance and GP champion-ships 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, coolerrunning 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 specifically to enhance grip at maximum lean angles.

JOINTLESS BELT CONSTRUCTION / Unique tread pattern design to maximise wet performance / New durable polymers offer longer tread life and maximum grip / JLB construction gives better feedback, shock absorption and comfort / Optimised variation of contact area at different lean angles gives smooth handling / Now available in trail sizes

2010

MULTI-TREAD (MT) TECHNOLOGY

/ Tour, road, track: new crossover performance tyre answers every need / NTEC construction acts as a mechanical grip booster at low inflation 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

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.

Many of our front and rear tyre constructions use a Carcass Tension Control System (CTCS) to control casing stress distribution. This optimises the tension in different areas of the casing improving cornering stability, straight-line traction and rider feedback. CTCS allows different areas of the tyre casing to be designed with different tension levels to distribute forces in a more progressive way. It also controls stress distribution to provide an optimised contact patch area at different lean angles. The result is better control without the use of additional components, thus reducing tyre weight. Another benefit is improved suspension characteristics, reducing steering effort and improving response to the rider.
