The Dunlop Q5 is a track-focused tire engineered for high-performance riding and competition use. It is designed for experienced riders and racers who demand maximum grip and precise handling in dry conditions. The Q5 represents Dunlop's commitment to bridging the gap between street-legal tires and full-blown race slicks.
The Q5 distinguishes itself with an extremely soft compound formulated for exceptional grip and rapid warm-up times. This allows riders to push their limits with confidence, achieving extreme lean angles. The tire's construction incorporates features designed to optimize performance, such as a Jointless Belt (JLB) construction for enhanced stability and reduced heat build-up. The profile and construction of the Q5 are designed to improve corner entry and provide a larger contact patch at full lean, maximizing grip. The tire also utilizes Racing Type Fine Carbon Technology in the tread compound.
Compared to other tires in its category, the Dunlop Q5 prioritizes outright grip and track performance over longevity. Its 100 treadwear rating indicates a focus on maximizing traction, making it ideal for riders who prioritize lap times and responsive handling. The Q5 is a step up from its predecessor, the Q4, with improvements to handling, grip, and wear.
