The Dunlop Sportmax Q5 front motorcycle tire is a street-legal, track-focused radial tire engineered for riders who demand responsive handling and dependable grip during spirited street riding and track-day use. Developed as an evolution of the Sportmax Q4 and Dunlop’s MotoAmerica road race tires, the Sportmax Q5 combines advanced construction, profile, compound, and tread technologies in a performance-oriented package.

Dunlop Jointless Tread (JLT) technology uses a continuously wound tread strip to help optimize compound placement across the tire. This supports consistent stability, controlled flex, and reliable grip through acceleration, braking, and cornering. Racing Type Fine Carbon Technology improves bonding between the compound’s polymers and helps distribute heat more evenly for predictable performance as riding intensity increases.

The Intuitive Response Profile (IRP) delivers ultra-linear steering response and helps increase the contact patch for improved rider feedback. Its taller, narrower profile supports quick turn-in and cornering feel while maintaining an increased footprint at lean. The optimized tread pattern promotes faster warm-up and contributes to confident wet- and dry-weather performance, making the Q5 suitable for riders seeking track-day capability without sacrificing street legality.
