Experience superior performance and confidence on every ride with the DUNLOP Sportmax Q5A Rear Tire. Engineered for a wide range of riding conditions, from spirited winding roads to daily commutes, this high-performance motorcycle sport tire delivers exceptional grip, durability, and comfort for your sportbike.

Description

The DUNLOP Sportmax Q5A Rear Tire, specifically the 160/60ZR17 radial construction, is designed to elevate your sportbike's capabilities. It features advanced Multi-Tread™ technology, utilizing a long-wearing center compound for impressive mileage, flanked by lateral-grip compounds that ensure outstanding handling and cornering prowess without compromising durability. This cutting-edge design is complemented by a Carbon R compound in the shoulders, engineered for high heat generation to provide exceptional dry grip during aggressive riding.

Confidence in all weather conditions is assured with the Hi Silica X compound in the front tread and Hi Silica compound in the rear tread, boasting significantly increased silica content (150% more in the rear) compared to conventional products. This enhances wear resistance and drastically improves wet performance, allowing you to maintain control even in inclement weather. The Aramid JLB construction in the front and Ultra Flexible Steel (UFS) JLB construction in the rear contribute to reduced tire weight, maximizing compliance and comfort while providing exceptional feel and stability. This advanced radial construction also minimizes dynamic growth at high speeds and improves linearity for a predictable ride.

Further enhancing its dynamic performance, the Camber Tuning Technology (C.T.T.) meticulously balances the front and rear tires, improving the front tire’s turning force for a nimble and sporty handling feel. Impact Parry Technology (IPT) reduces lateral movement and improves longitudinal deflection, resulting in better bump absorption and stability, particularly at full lean. The aggressive new tread pattern is optimized for sport riding, ensuring consistent performance as the tire wears and striking an excellent balance between dry and wet grip. This high-performance sportbike tire is an ideal upgrade for popular models like the BMW S1000 R, Ducati Monster, Honda CB1000 R, Kawasaki Ninja Z 650, Suzuki GSX-S 1000, and Triumph Street Triple.
