No Dunlop sportbike tire is ready for the street until its pedigree is race-proven. Dunlop’s Sportmax Q2 incorporates many race-tested advancements. The Sportmax Q2 is a superior street-going tire that is also at home on the track. Dunlop’s new Sportmax Q2 features an Intuitive Response Profile (IRP) and Multi-Tread (MT) technology, with a host of construction improvements work to make this the sport tire that does it all.
