The Dunlop Sportmax Q5 Rear Tire is a purpose-built track-day tire designed for high-performance sport and sport touring motorcycles. Developed over four years, this fifth-generation tire offers an advanced blend of technology and innovation to deliver exceptional grip and stability in both racing and street conditions. Its radial construction and directional tread pattern ensure reliable handling, enhanced responsiveness, and confidence-inspiring control at high speeds. The tire's tubeless design simplifies installation and maintenance, making it an excellent choice for riders seeking track-day performance without sacrificing street legality.
The Q5 features Dunlop's Jointless Tread (JLT) technology, which employs a continuous strip winding to optimize compound placement for improved stability, flex, and grip during aggressive cornering. The tire incorporates Dunlop’s Racing Type Fine Carbon Technology, providing more bonding points with polymers to enhance heat distribution and durability. Its intuitive response profile (IRP) offers ultra-linear steering, translating rider inputs directly into precise, predictable movement, and increasing the contact patch for better traction. Designed with a taller, narrower profile, the Q5 allows for quicker turn-in and better feel, especially at the front of the tire, while the wider footprint at the contact patch improves grip in both wet and dry conditions.
The optimized tread pattern facilitates quicker warm-up times and superior wet weather performance, making it versatile across different riding scenarios. Additionally, the tire’s profile and construction enhance stability and feedback, giving riders confidence on the track or street. Suitable for 17-inch rear wheels, with a width of 200mm and an aspect ratio of 60, this tire is rated for speeds up to 168 mph (W rating) and a load capacity of 1764 lbs.
