Dunlop SPORTMAX Q2

Dunlop SPORTMAX Q2 - Dunlop says this tire provides “substantially” better grip and handling than the previous Qualifier, which was the only tire to ever win a Motorcycle of the Year Award from Motorcyclist magazine.

• Intuitive Response Profile (IRP) intuitively allows greater latitude in line choice while cornering and provides amazingly linear steering at all lean angles.
• Radical profile puts down a bigger footprint at extreme lean angles, and allows greater lean angles and higher corner speeds for substantially better grip and handling.
• Advanced Multi-Tread technology combines a tough, long-wearing center compound for increased mileage with a special lateral-grip compound on each shoulder for superior cornering traction.
• New carcass construction includes new continuous hex beads that are lighter and stronger to enhance steering response and increase cornering stability.
• Q2 rear tire features stiffer Jointless Band (JLB) construction with a continuously wound aramid belt for reduced carcass distortion.
