The Dunlop Qualifier 2 is a high-performance tire engineered for track days and competition use, targeting experienced riders who demand maximum grip and precise handling. This tire is designed for those who prioritize outright performance in dry conditions and are willing to trade off longevity for superior grip.
The Qualifier 2 utilizes a very soft compound to deliver exceptional levels of traction, allowing for aggressive cornering and confident acceleration. Its construction incorporates advanced features to optimize the contact patch during extreme lean angles, providing enhanced feedback and stability. Dunlop's Carcass Tension Control System (CTCS) allows engineers to fine-tune the stiffness in different areas of the tire, improving handling and feedback. The front tire section shape and mould profile have been optimized using Dunlop's Dynamic Front Formula (DFF) design approach. This provides the ideal balance between steering effort, stability and feedback, delivering unparalleled rider confidence and enjoyment.
Compared to street-oriented sport tires, the Qualifier 2 offers a significant increase in grip and responsiveness, but with a reduced treadwear rating of 73. This tire is intended for riders who prioritize lap times and ultimate performance over extended mileage. While it can be used on the street, its soft compound will wear more quickly than tires designed for mixed street and track use. The Qualifier 2 distinguishes itself through its race-derived technology and focus on delivering maximum performance for demanding track environments.
