DUNLOP SPORTMAX SLICK TIRE
$ Prices Vary
www.dunlopracing.com
Dunlop's Sportmax Slick, the official tire of
MotoAmerica, has been updated with new
profiles, compounds and construction. The
fronts are narrower for more precise turn-in
and a new sidewall design provides more
cushion and bump absorption. Both the
front and rears have taller profiles, which
Dunlop says can provide a more predictable
change in the contact patch while leaned
into the corner or driving out of the corner.
The alphanumeric naming structure of the
revised compounds is simplified, with R0
the softest and R8 the most durable. The
Sportmax Slicks come in 17-, 12- and 10-inch
sizes in multiple compounds, except the R8
compound is exclusive to the rear tires.
