Dunlop Launches New ‘Race-Bred, Road Ready’ Motorcycle Tyres

.
The Sportmax Q2 features Dunlop’s race track developed Intuitive Response Profile (IRP) and MT Multi-Tread™ technology, making this a remarkably effective new street-going tyre.

“The Sportmax Q2 is a brand new ‘racebred, road ready’ tyre, possessing steering characteristics unlike any other sport tyre,” said Ken Wieden, Dunlop Motorcycle & Motorsport Manager.

“The incorporation of technology bred on the race track and refined specially for road use makes this a vastly superior tyre.

“The IRP technology provides phenomenal steering and handling characteristics, allowing the rider greater latitude in line choice while cornering and provides amazingly linear steering no matter what shape, speed or camber the corner.

”Add Dunlop’s advanced Multi-Tread technology and you have a street tyre that incorporates the optimum ratio of race and sports compounds for the highest grip levels combined with superior tread wear,” Ken said.

Ken said the development of this tyre is a fantastic reflection of the huge strides Dunlop has taken in furthering design technology.

“The Sportmax Q2 is a result of Dunlop’s evolving tyre design philosophy and a testament to its development of multicompound tyres,” Ken said.

“The Sportmax Q2 showcases the complex construction that allows our tyres to work so seamlessly on the track and now on the street.

“I think four time Australian Superbike Champion Shawn Giles summed up the general consensus of the group that attended the tyre’s official launch at Eastern Creek Raceway when he said “these tyres are awesome! You guys have a winner!”
