Product Description
Dunlop Sportmax Q2 Rear Tire

The new Q2 incorporates race-tested advancements that add up to a vastly superior tire equally at home on the street or the track.

  • Intuitive Response Profile (IRP) technology in the rear tire intuitively allows the rider greater latitude in line choice while cornering and provides amazingly linear steering no matter what shape, speed or camber the corner, and at all lean angles
  • Radical new profile puts down a bigger footprint at extreme lean angles while also allowing greater lean angles and higher corner speeds to provide substantially better grip and handling
  • Dunlop’s advanced Multi-Tread technology combines the benefits of 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 in both the front and rear tires includes newly designed continuous hex beads that are both lighter and stronger to enhance steering response in the front tire and increase cornering stability in both tires
  • Q2 rear tire features a newly developed, stiffer version of Dunlop’s Jointless Band (JLB) construction that utilizes a continuously wound aramid belt for reduced carcass distortion, plus stiffer overall construction to meet high-performance demands and provide a more consistent contact patch

Steve Sanders Santa Maria,  CA New Q2s I tried a set of these last month at streets of willow. They seemed to work well. No problems at all. They had good grip and really held up well. It was my first time at this track and I was riding at only 80 percent so I'm not sure of the performance at the "edge". However for street riding I'm sure its more grip than most would use. One final note, I did like the turn in on these, they are tiny bit more triangular than the power ones, and fall into the turn a little easier. Bang for the buck I think these are going to be hard to beat.

John carlsbad,  CA Great Street/Track tire This is a great street/track tire. The tire has a much higher profile than my other tires and the sides are very soft and grippy. You can lean the bike more, but you don't have to. The bike is now cornering at higher speeds, with more stability at less lean angle. The only problem with the tire is you just can't go that fast on the street. On the track the tire grips like a hard compound race tire. Running straight up, the bike is a bit twitchy, because the contact patch in more narrow, but when dropping into a corner, it's magic. Bike feels lighter, reacts faster, drops in nicely, takes a set and is then rock steady in mid corner. Love the tire...Took a couple long highway runs and the treadlife looks OK, don't see any wear...haven't run in the rain.
