The Dunlop Sportmax Q5 rear motorcycle tire is a street-legal, track-focused radial tire designed for riders who demand responsive handling, strong grip, and dependable performance during spirited street riding and track days. Developed as the fifth-generation Sportmax Q-series tire, the Q5 builds on the performance characteristics of the Sportmax Q4 and Dunlop’s MotoAmerica road race tire technology.

Jointless Tread (JLT) technology uses a continuously wound tread strip to help optimize compound placement, stability, flex, and traction across the tire. Dunlop Racing Type Fine Carbon Technology improves bonding between polymers and helps promote more consistent heat distribution throughout the tread. The Intuitive Response Profile (IRP) supports ultra-linear steering response, a larger contact patch, and predictable cornering feel.

The Sportmax Q5 features a taller, narrower profile to aid turn-in and rider feedback while increasing the footprint at greater lean angles. Its optimized tread design supports quicker warm-up and improved wet-weather performance, while the user-friendly construction and compound deliver confident grip in both wet and dry conditions. This rear tire uses a tubeless design and is intended for compatible 17-inch motorcycle wheels.
