The Dunlop SportSmart TT is a Trackday and Competition Summer tyre designed to be fitted to Motorcycle

Dunlop has announced they will launch a fourth new tyre in their hypersport portfolio in March 2018. The Dunlop SportSmart TT has been developed to meet the needs of riders with the very latest sports bikes and performance roadsters who want to use the same tyre on track and for road riding.

The name SportSmart TT derives from Dunlop’s road focused SportSmart range and adds the letters TT, which refer to “Track Technology”.

Michelin Road 5 – now available!

Michelin Road 5 - Tyre Reviews

Michelin Road 5 – 2018 motorcycle tyres

Michelin Road 5 - Tyre Reviews

The Road 5 will vary from the Pilot Road 4 series in a number of ways, but most specifically in its ability to shed water from the tyre and road surface as the tyre wears. Thanks to the XST siping technology that Michelin introduced with the Pilot Road 3, the tires have a great ability to evacuate water from the tire surface ensuring the rubber connects to the road. As the tire wears down, the grooves in the tyres decrease in volume and thus are less effective in evacuating water.

The new Road 5 sipes, now called XST Evo, has been adapted from Michelin’s automotive division. The technology is borrowed from Michelin’s Evergrip tread design which was first introduced in the MICHELIN Premier A/S tyre in 2014.

The combination of three technologies helped the MICHELIN ROAD 5 to deliver the best wet-weather grip in a recent in-house comparison with the new tyre’s five main rivals.

To achieve this level of performance, the MICHELIN ROAD 5 benefits from:

  • Latest-generation rubber compounds,
  • Dual-compound technology (MICHELIN 2CT and MICHELIN 2CT+ Technology),
  • A siped tread pattern.

Metzeler Roadtec 01 “tyre of the year 2017”

ROADTEC™ 01

Metzeler Roadtec 01 “tyre of the year 2017”

ROADTEC™ 01

Motorcycle News has selected its ‘Tyre of the Year’, and again it is the Metzeler Roadtec 01. The back-to-back victory for the sport touring tyre, comments Metzeler, confirms the “excellent qualities” that the Roadtec 01 possesses.

The decision to name the Roadtec 01 the MCN Tyre of the Year is the latest in a series of honours to come its way since the tyre’s launch in January 2016. In its debut year it was voted Best Sports Touring tyre by MCN and it also topped the comparative test published by German magazine Motorrad. Later in the year, the Metzeler tyre was crowned Tyre of the Year by MCN for the first time. This year, MCN repeated the sport touring tyre comparative test and the winner was again the Metzeler Roadtec 01. Two consecutive successes in this crucial market segment convinced the editorial team to also award it Tyre of the Year in 2017.

Metzeler Roadtec 01 motorcycle tyres

ROADTEC™ 01 is the latest evolution in Metzeler touring tyres, with a focus on enhancing grip on wet and low friction surfaces, an increased mileage and a high degree of adaptability to different motorcycles, riding styles and conditions. The contemporary answer to past and future needs.

INCREASED GRIP ACROSS A WIDE RANGE OF RIDING ENVIRONMENTS
The employment of completely new tread design enhancing mechanical grip coupled with compounds evolved from those of tests-winner ROADTEC™ Z8 M/O, allows for increased confidence and safety feeling while riding

EXTENDED MILEAGE & PERFORMANCE CONSISTENCY
New profile (larger and shorter contact patch) in synergy with the improved compounds ensure an extended product lifecycle
Tread grooves geometry and positioning grant long lasting performances

ENHANCED PRECISION AND RIDING COMFORT
Structural elements fine tuning and METZELER INTERACT™ technology promote adaptive behavior across a wide range of motorcycles and riding situations

New ContiRoadAttack 3 is the test winner

The German motorcycling magazine MOTORRAD trialled six sports touring tires in sizes 120/70 ZR 17 (front) and 180/55 ZR 17 (rear) in its 12/2017 issue. The result of these tests put the newcomer from Korbach in first place.

Key evaluation criteria included handling, behavior at the limit and in wet conditions, grip during acceleration and at lean angle positions, steering precision, cornering and straight-line stability – and, at the end of the day, the ContiRoadAttack 3 came in first.
