This race-oriented rear tyre Dunlop SPORTMAX SLICK Soft R 115/70R17 0 is designed for track days and competitive sprint events where maximum grip matters. It suits riders seeking a tyre optimised for short runs and aggressive lines, offering a soft compound that prioritises mechanical adhesion. The construction targets the sport segment and supports rapid warm-up and consistent behaviour under race loads. Maximum contact patch characteristics are evident from the outset, giving confident feedback during lean transitions and hard acceleration.

The slick tread features a robust carcass and a compound engineered for peak surface adhesion and thermal stability. A focus on even stress distribution reduces local overheating and supports predictable wear over sessions. The tyre balances cornering stability with directional control to help maintain line accuracy when braking into corners. Reinforced sidewall stiffness contributes to precise steering response and stable chassis interaction at speed.

For the rider this means shorter braking distances on prepared surfaces and assured grip through high-speed bends. You get a tyre built to translate engine power to track surface efficiently with clear, repeatable feedback. Ideal for competitors and enthusiasts who prioritise lap-time performance and tyre feel.
