The fifth generation Dunlop Sportmax Q5S sets the new benchmark for the ultimate street and track-day tire.

• Front tire profile and construction allows for a 7mm shorter tire, resulting in lighter steering feel and quicker turn-in rate
• Improved polymer compound and softer shoulder performs in both wet and dry conditions
• Optimized tread pattern aids in quick warm-up times and improved wear
• D.O.T.-approved

The Dunlop Sportmax Q5S front tire is engineered for riders who demand responsive street performance and confident track-day capability. Developed from Dunlop’s road-racing experience in Buffalo, New York, and influenced by technology used in the MotoAmerica Road Race Series, the fifth-generation Q5S combines agile handling, strong dry grip, dependable wet performance, and long-lasting wear.

Its advanced construction and Intuitive Response Profile (IRP) provide a taller profile with tapered sides to promote quicker turn-in and a more aggressive cornering feel. The front tire design also reduces steering effort for lighter, nimbler handling. Dunlop’s MT Multi-Tread technology uses a silica-infused center compound for improved mileage while placing specialized lateral-grip compounds on the shoulders for strong cornering traction. An updated polymer compound and softer shoulder are designed to maintain performance in changing wet and dry conditions.

The optimized tread pattern supports quick warm-up and consistent wear, making the Sportmax Q5S a versatile choice for high-performance street riding and occasional track use. This tubeless, directional radial tire is DOT-approved and uses a black sidewall. The Dunlop Sportmax Q5S is supplied as one front tire and is identified by part number dun45258202.
