The Dunlop SPORTMAX Q5 front motorcycle tire is a track-focused tire designed for riders who want race-inspired performance with street-legal versatility. This 110/70ZR17 (54W) TL tire uses advanced Dunlop technology to deliver strong grip, responsive handling, and confident control on sport motorcycles. It is manufactured by Dunlop and identified by manufacturer and vendor part number 45247180.
Developed by the same engineers and produced on the same machinery used for MotoAmerica race slicks, the SPORTMAX Q5 brings high-level track performance to a road-legal design. Its race-derived compounds provide impressive dry grip, while updated tire profiles increase the contact patch at more extreme lean angles. The result is more rubber on the road, improved cornering traction, and reduced slip during aggressive riding.
The SPORTMAX Q5 is also designed to be more user-friendly than a dedicated racing slick. Improved wet grip, tire compliance, and warm-up characteristics help provide predictable performance across changing riding conditions. The tire does not require tire warmers for track use, making it a practical choice for riders who want to ride directly from the pit area without additional equipment.
Fitment: Designed for compatible sport and supersport motorcycles using a 110/70ZR17 front tire. Confirm the motorcycle manufacturer’s recommended tire size, load rating, speed rating, and clearance before installation. Professional mounting and balancing are recommended.
