The new RoadSmart III (which, by the way, has now arrived at Cambrian Tyres in selected initial sizes) is the latest sport touring tyre from Dunlop.
The RoadSmart III range includes 18 tyre specifications across a total of 16 sizes, which Dunlop claim provide them with 91% market coverage, a first for the manufacturer.
The range features a choice of tyre constructions in two key sizes:
- 180/55 ZR17 M/C (73W) TL
- 190/55 ZR17 M/C (75W) TL
The two tyre constructions give riders the choice of a standard tyre for GT to middleweight bikes, or a special SP (sport) version which has been designed for use on lighter naked bikes and sports bike to give better handling characteristics.
Dunlop Europe Moto Marketing Manager Andy Marfleet explained the changes to the range:
“The product requirements for RoadSmart III are very different from earlier generation tyres. The market for Sport Touring bikes has diversified and we are the first tyre company to offer a GT tyre, designed for heavier tourers, as the standard model for the full range. Ten out of the 12 RSIII rears that we produce will be suitable for heavy to mid weight bikes and the two additional rears are single ply construction for lighter, sportier bikes. The two specifications will allow riders to choose a tyre tailored to their choice of bike.”
In order to assist dealers and riders in making the right choice of RoadSmart III for their bike, the latest Dunlop fitment guide will show ‘Standard’ or ‘SP’ against the bike model. Account holders can also call us for the latest fitment information and advice on this, along with any other product in their range.
We expect further sizes of the new RoadSmart III to arrive with us in the near future, and will keep you updated via our Facebook page.
