The SportSmart2 offers consumers a tyre that meets the high performance requirements of the Super Duke R in all aspects of the \u201cBeast\u201d. Dunlop has specifically worked on optimizing wet, dry and handling on track as well as focusing on the road needs of the rider by enhancing comfort, durability and high speed potential.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, wet performance is delivered by a tread pattern that maximises water evacuation with the front tyre having a \u2018reverse V direction\u2019 pattern to improve drainage. Dry performance is also enhanced due to liquid polymer and several grip resins which have been refined through Dunlop\u2019s race experience. The new construction and compound benefits include riding stability at high speeds, high mileage capability, while even wear maintains handling performance, extends tyre life and reduces vibration.<\/p>\n<p>Launched this week, the KTM 1290 Super Duke R is an ultra-sporty bike designed to provide a pure uncompromising ride. The muscle bike is KTM\u2019s new flagship model with a chassis that is precise and manoeuvrable and, in KTM\u2019s words, is the \u2018hottest street-legal naked bike around\u2019. Technology includes a liquid cooled 2-cylinder, 4-stroke, double-ignition engine with a 75\u00b0V arrangement which generates 180 horsepower and weighs just 189kg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new KTM 1290 Super Duke R features Dunlop\u2019s newest technologically advanced SportSmart2 fitted as original equipment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>KTM chooses Dunlop SportSmart2 - TyreTrade.ie<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/ktm-chooses-dunlop-sportsmart2\/6230\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"KTM chooses Dunlop SportSmart2 - TyreTrade.ie\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The new KTM 1290 Super Duke R features Dunlop\u2019s newest technologically advanced SportSmart2 fitted as original equipment.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/ktm-chooses-dunlop-sportsmart2\/6230\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TyreTrade.ie\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2013-10-22T13:14:47+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Declan O Byrne\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Declan O Byrne\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/ktm-chooses-dunlop-sportsmart2\/6230#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/ktm-chooses-dunlop-sportsmart2\/6230\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Declan O Byrne\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/#\/schema\/person\/90e56393bbe2e6eb76f06b8a7185f6ed\"},\"headline\":\"KTM chooses Dunlop SportSmart2\",\"datePublished\":\"2013-10-22T13:14:47+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/ktm-chooses-dunlop-sportsmart2\/6230\"},\"wordCount\":237,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/#organization\"},\"articleSection\":[\"News\"],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/ktm-chooses-dunlop-sportsmart2\/6230\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/ktm-chooses-dunlop-sportsmart2\/6230\",\"name\":\"KTM chooses Dunlop SportSmart2 - TyreTrade.ie\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2013-10-22T13:14:47+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/ktm-chooses-dunlop-sportsmart2\/6230#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/ktm-chooses-dunlop-sportsmart2\/6230\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/index.php\/ktm-chooses-dunlop-sportsmart2\/6230#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"KTM chooses Dunlop SportSmart2\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.tyretrade.ie\/\",\"name\":\"TyreTrade.ie\",\"description\":\"Ireland&#039;s Publication for the Tyre &amp;
