Dunlop announces the Q5 and Q5S purpose-built, street-legal, high-performance tires after developing for over four years. Utilizing technology shared by Dunlop’s MotoAmerica road race tires, the Q5 and Q5S are made in Dunlop’s Buffalo, New York plant on the same proprietary equipment as the racing products.

SPORTMAX Q5

The Dunlop Sportmax Q5 is evolving from a blend of the highly popular Sportmax Q4 and Dunlop’s MotoAmerica spec road race tires. The Q5 utilizes the best technologies Dunlop has to offer for a track tire that is still street legal. The Q5 has enhanced constructions, profiles, compounds, and tread patterns, designed for being track-day tires. The Q5 is more user-friendly, has dry and wet grip, tire compliance, and improved warm-up times. Tire warmers are not necessary for track use. Dunlop has expanded the size range of the Q5 to include five additional sizes for increased bike fitments:  110/70ZR17,   140/70ZR17,   150/60ZR17,  160/60ZR17,  200/60ZR17.

SPORTMAX Q5S – Street and Track Tires

Succeeding the highly popular Dunlop Sportmax Q3+, the Dunlop Sportmax Q5S raises the bar for the ultimate street and track-day tire. Following in the development footsteps of the Q5, the Q5S has achieved even higher performance by utilizing aspects from Dunlop’s cutting-edge road race tires.

Having enhanced constructions, profiles, compounds, and tread patterns, the Q5S provides lighter and nimbler handling and improved dry and wet grip to make it even more user friendly all while maintaining class-leading durability.
