The Dunlop Sportmax Q5 rear motorcycle tire is a street-legal, track-day-focused radial tire designed for riders who want responsive handling and dependable grip. Developed as the fifth generation of Dunlop’s Sportmax Q line, the Q5 builds on the proven Sportmax Q4 and MotoAmerica road race tire platforms with updated construction, profile, compounds, and tread design.

Jointless Tread (JLT) technology uses a continuously wound tread strip to precisely position the compound for improved stability, controlled flex, and consistent traction. Dunlop Racing Type Fine Carbon Technology increases bonding points within the compound and helps distribute heat more evenly during demanding riding. The Intuitive Response Profile (IRP) supports smooth, linear steering response while increasing the usable contact patch through corners.

The Sportmax Q5 combines track-oriented performance with practical street capability. Its optimized tread pattern promotes quicker warm-up and helps maintain traction in wet and dry conditions, while the taller, narrower profile supports faster turn-in and improved rider feedback. This tubeless rear tire is designed for compatible 17-inch motorcycle wheels and offers a balanced combination of cornering grip, stability, and controllable handling for sport and sport-touring applications.
