When it comes to categories of motorcycle tyre, ‘sport touring’ has become the byword for versatility.
If you want long-lasting, all-weather performance then take your pick, because there’s certainly plenty of great options to choose from.
However, it’s worth remembering that this sport touring revolution only kicked off around a decade ago!
Heading that very revolution, and leaving other manufacturers scrabbling to catch up, was Dunlop’s brand spanking new RoadSmart – a product family that’s still going strong in 2019.
We’re not suggesting that sport touring tyres in 2008 weren’t any good – but compared to the single compound Pilot Road, Roadtec Z6 and of course Pirelli’s Diablo Strada, the original RoadSmart was something else altogether.
Boasting a dual-compound rear, with softer shoulder areas for additional grip in the corners, the RoadSmart brought sporty, responsive handling to the sport touring market the likes of which hadn’t been seen before.
Even better, Dunlop engineers had managed to balance this sportier performance with the traditional sport touring tyre attributes which many riders loved – longevity, stability and wet grip.
It was an instant hit with riders, selling in huge numbers for Dunlop both in the UK and across the globe in general, as they worked hard to keep up with demand at the factory.
Move on ten years or so, and other major manufacturers have all followed the trends set by that Dunlop tyre – which right now presents a very astute, wallet friendly buy for many riders and their bikes!
In association with Dunlop, this year we’re bringing our trade customers an exclusive deal on RoadSmart pairs in the following sizes:
- 120/70 ZR17 & 160/60 ZR17
- 120/70 ZR17 & 180/55 ZR17
- 120/70 ZR17 & 190/50 ZR17
There’s no minimum order – just one single pair will secure you a great set of tyres, at a seriously attractive price.
However, if you want to make it even better… buy any two pairs, and we’ll drop the trade price even further!
Account holders can call us for further information and to order – you won’t find a better sport touring pair deal at this price right now in the UK.
If you’re a rider and you need a pair, just ring your local motorcycle tyre specialist and get them to contact us – we supply most of the UK trade next working day!
