The Dunlop Sportmax Q5 Front Motorcycle Tire is a street-legal track tire designed for riders who demand high levels of dry grip, predictable handling, and responsive feedback. This front tire uses advanced technology from Dunlop race development programs while maintaining the versatility needed for legal street use. The 120/70ZR17 size, (58W) speed rating, and tubeless construction make it a suitable choice for compatible sport motorcycles and performance-focused riding applications.
Developed by the same engineers and manufactured on the same equipment used for MotoAmerica race slicks, the Sportmax Q5 delivers race-inspired performance in a tire that remains approachable for track-day riders. Its updated race-derived compounds provide strong traction, while the revised profile increases the contact patch at more aggressive lean angles. This gives the rider more rubber on the pavement for improved grip, stability, and confidence during cornering.
The Dunlop Sportmax Q5 is engineered to be more user-friendly than a dedicated racing slick. Improvements to dry and wet grip, tire compliance, and warm-up performance help provide dependable handling across changing riding conditions. The tire does not require tire warmers for track use, helping simplify track-day preparation while still offering quick response and consistent performance. Verify the 120/70ZR17 fitment, load and speed requirements, and motorcycle manufacturer recommendations before installation.
