Morning all.

As of last week my supplier had not received the SV sizes, I shall give 'em a tinkle today & see if they've got them in.
£215 sounds a little top heavy for a fitted pair, bearing in mind I supplied the 120/180 pair at £195.
I'll let you know what I find out.

Cheers.

Hi there,

Had the roadsmarts fitted today! only done 30 mile on them so can't really give any constructive feedback. They are definately available at 120/60 - f and 160/60 - rear.

Cheers Racing Snake

Morning all.

I spoke to my supplier yesterday, they have just got the Roadsmart in, in the SV sizes. I will be able to supply them at £182 fitted, to forum members.
Let us all know how you get on with them.

Cheers.

I've done around 100 miles on the new hoops now so i can open her up a small amount more and from what i can feel, they are going to be good!

Morning all.

Good show! It seems that at last Dunlop have made a decent all rounder, it's now just a question of lifespan.

Cheers.

I agree. That's the only thing that these launch tests can't provide, an indication of longevity. My Z6's will have lasted 9,000 miles by the next service, if the Dunlops can manage 7,000 with all the talk of improved grip etc then I'll be impressed. Shame it'll take me a year to run up the miles and find out!

Longevity is a key factor in the choice for me as i replaced some BT014's with these. As my bike is my only transport to a from uni, and when ever i ride at uni i've usually got a lass on the back they squared off uber quick. I hope these last a tadt longer.

I'm intrested in these, got something like 11,000 miles out of my first set of Diablo Stradas, and replaced with same, but the new set are looking a little low at the moment and I fancy a change, so it's going to be the same old Avon ST / Pilot Road 2 / Roadsmart Argument

Well folks, I have to say i am very, very impressed with these roadsmarts. Even just after the scrub in period, they are uber grippy in the wet and they handle in the dry real well too. I would definately recommend these if you are umming and ahhing!

Go for it!
