The fifth generation Dunlop Sportmax Q5 is a purpose-built, track-day tire that has been in the making for over four years. Evolving from a blend of the highly popular Sportmax Q4 and Dunlop's cutting-edge MotoAmerica spec road race tires, the Q5 utilizes the very best technologies Dunlop has to offer for a track tire that is still street legal. The Q5 is also made in Dunlop's Buffalo, NY factory on the same proprietary equipment as their road race tires. Dunlop still remains the only motorcycle tire manufacturer to produce sport tires in America. Having enhanced constructions, profiles, compounds and tread patterns, the Q5 is the new benchmark for track-day tires. The Q5 is even more user-friendly, as dry and wet grip, tire compliance, and warm-up times have all been improved. Developed by the same engineers and manufactured on the same machines as MotoAmerica race slicks.
