The Dunlop Sportmax Q5 is a track-day tire designed for riders seeking maximum performance on the circuit. It is positioned within the Dunlop Sportmax family to cater specifically to track-day enthusiasts, offering greater overall performance and grip than the Q4. The Q5 is DOT-approved for street-legal use.
This tire utilizes a racing-derived compound to deliver exceptional grip and handling capabilities. The Sportmax Q5 has enhanced construction, profiles, compounds, and tread patterns. The tire's design incorporates a sharply defined tread pattern with lower groove density, increasing the contact patch at various lean angles. The Q5 warms up quickly and does not require tire warmers.
The Sportmax Q5 features a new profile that enhances corner entry and high-speed stability when fully leaned over. Both the front and rear tires utilize Dunlop's proprietary Racing Type Fine Carbon Technology in the tread compound. The Q5's design incorporates Jointless Tread (JLT) Technology, which optimizes stability, flex, and grip across the tire's tread profile. The front tire has a new profile that is 2mm taller and 2mm narrower than its predecessor.
