The New Standard of Sport-Touring Tires.
Sport-touring riders have unique demands. They want sport-bike level grip and handling, a compliant ride everywhere they go, and most of all high mileage for maximum tire life.
Dunlop exceeded customer expectations with the Roadsmart III (RSIII), a high-performance tire with class-leading mileage. Independent testing on a 2016 BMW R1200RT yielded more than 12,000 miles on the Dunlop RSIII, 3,000 miles more than the Michelin Pilot Road 4 GT*. Just as importantly, the RSIII met the demands of riders who wanted high performance that lasts the life of the tire.
Now the benefits of the RSIII have been elevated and refined in the all-new Roadsmart IV (RSIV), which joins the RSIII in Dunlop's sport-touring product line. Dunlop's two-tiered market strategy gives riders the option to choose between the high-performing and now lower-priced RSIII, or opt for the class-leading performance of the new RSIV.
Like the RSIII, the RSIV delivers best-in-class mileage - up 26-percent compared to the RSIII - and stays close to its peak performance throughout its lifespan**. Additionally, the RSIV offers performance upgrades in both wet and dry conditions. Compared to the RSIII, the RSIV has quicker steering response for more nimble handling, and greater wet-weather performance - grip, stability and overall response***.
How Dunlop Did It:
The RSIV is a completely new tire - new tread patterns, construction, compounds, profiles and new technology.
Profiles - Both front and rear tire profiles are changed significantly, resulting in 15% lighter steering on turn-in with more linear response. On backroads especially, the RSIV makes it easier to set up a turn, and the steering is more consistent from upright to full lean for more precise rider feedback. Another benefit: lighter steering decreases rider fatigue so you can stay sharper longer.
Tread Pattern - New tread patterns work in harmony with the new profiles, improving tread wear, grip, and handling (especially in wet conditions). The RSIV's optimized groove angles and strengthening of its tread rigidity through strategically placed thinner tread grooves contribute to more even wear across the life of the tire, while maintaining superior wet-weather performance.
Compound - To increase mileage and performance, the RSIV compounds feature several new technologies.
Hi Silica X - Hi Silica X is a new technology that increases the silica content in the tread. This new compounding technique improves silica dispersion to improve the overall flexibility and resilience of the compound, enhancing road adhesion for even better wet grip performance. This new technology helps give the RSIV a *minimum of 5% wet handling performance advantage over competitor products (testing performed at the Dunlop proving grounds in Huntsville, AL in sizes 120/70ZR17 front, and 190/55ZR17 rear on a 2018 BMW K1600 GTL, individual results may vary), and 10% improvement in wet braking stopping distance over the Roadsmart III (testing performed at the Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. proving grounds in Japan on a 2016 Suzuki GSF1250 with tire sizes 120/70ZR17 front and 180/55ZR17 rear, individual results may vary).
Performance Compound Layers Progressive - In the RSIV's tread structure, three compounds with different properties are layered vertically. The top layer features Dunlopa (TM)s MT Multi-Tread(TM) technology that's made up of two compounds split into three sections (the center compound is designed for high mileage while the side compounds are designed for lateral grip), plus a third base layer compound that efficiently converts energy into heat below the surface. This advanced three-component technology ensures quicker warm-up times, long-lasting, hig
