The Dunlop Sportmax Q5A represents the next evolution in high-performance street tires. Building on the legendary pedigree of Dunlop’s Roadsport and Q Series, the Q5A is engineered for riders who demand the perfect balance between aggressive sport handling and real-world longevity.

Whether you are carving canyons or commuting through changing weather, the Q5A delivers confidence-inspiring grip and stability.

Quick Verdict: The "A" stands for All-around. This is the go-to tire for sportbike riders who want track-derived technology without sacrificing mileage or wet-weather safety.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Advanced Multi-Tread™ (MT) Technology Don't choose between grip and mileage—get both. The Q5A utilizes Dunlop's signature Multi-Tread technology:

• Center Compound: A long-wearing compound in the center of the rear tread ensures outstanding mileage for highway commuting and straight-line riding.

• Shoulder Compound: Flanked by lateral-grip compounds on the sides to provide maximum traction when leaned over in corners.

2. Superior Stability with JLB Construction The Q5A features Jointless Belt (JLB) technology in both the front and rear tires. This belt design eliminates belt overlaps, resulting in:

• Smoother handling and compliance.

• Reduced dynamic tire growth at high speeds.

• Exceptional feel and contact patch stability.

3. Next-Generation Compound Chemistry Dunlop has developed a completely new compound formula incorporating Carbon R and Hi Silica X.

• The Benefit: dramatically increased grip performance in both dry and wet conditions. This ensures you maintain confidence even when the weather turns unpredictable.

4. Wide Range of Fitments Designed to accommodate a vast array of machinery, the Q5A features an expanded size range that fits most current sport bikes as well as many older, non-current models.
