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.
Intuitive Response Profile
Narrower, steeper tread profile
Bigger footprint at high lean angles
Faster lap times
Intuitive – rider more in control
Multi-Tread
Longer-wearing center compound based on improvement from Qualifier
Special lateral grip compound on each shoulder based on GP race compounds

Front Tire Construction:
Kevlar (aramid) belts - Increased cornering stability, Improved braking at high loads
Nylon carcass plies - Control carcass stiffness, Increase steering response
Continuous wound bead - Increase steering response, Increase corner stability
Tread Pattern
Dunlop Cosecant Tread Pattern Design
Tread grooves follow force vectors as tire is leaned over
