The Dunlop SPORTSMART mk4 R in 180/55R17 73W is a sport touring motorcycle tyre intended for enthusiastic road riders and sporty commuting. It aims to combine grip, responsive handling and consistent mileage for modern naked and supersport bikes. The tyre is tuned to provide agile steering response and predictable behaviour at moderate to high lean angles. Advanced compound technology improves contact with the road surface. Balanced for both spirited rides and everyday use.

The tread pattern and profile deliver a reliable contact patch through changing lean and load, enhancing cornering stability and traction. Grooves are strategically placed to aid water evacuation which preserves wet grip and shortens braking distance on damp roads. Construction focuses on even wear characteristics so the tyre keeps handling characteristics over its lifespan. Reinforced shoulders support stability under heavy braking and acceleration.

Riders will experience confident turn-in and steady mid-corner feel together with reassuring straight-line stability. The tyre provides a good compromise between performance and longevity, offering consistent mileage across a variety of British road surfaces. A trustworthy choice for those who want sportier handling without sacrificing everyday usability.
