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

I have had two sets of these tires on my Ninja 650r to date. These are great tires, confidence building and great in wet conditions. Tread life is amazing lasting nearing 10k miles. cut short by a small hole.
Yes, I recommend this product.

The factory installed tires on my Honda were a big disappointment when it came to tread life so when I needed to replace them in 2003, I opted to try a different brand. At that time I purchased the original Dunlop Qualifier. I was so impressed that I have continued to run Dunlops ever since up to the most recent Dunlop Q2. The tread life is amazing with the performance on "track days" very perdictable and stable. I have consistantly put over 10,000 miles on the past 4 sets of Dunlops and I will continue to purchase them going forward. There may be a better tire out there, but for a great combination of street durability and excellent all around preformance, the Dunlop Q2 is an excellent choice.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I've had these tires for about 1,500 miles and they have performed flawlessly! Tire life seems to be pretty good on these since I still have a lot of tread left! They grip really well around the twisties, which I go about 3-4 times a month and about 60-70 miles each time. The rest is usually for commuting to school and to work. I never had a tire slipped even when taking some quick turns and wet traction is also really good.
They warm up pretty quick for me and after a couple of turns you can go balls out! (Where legal! aka the Track). I have ridden a couple times at a quick pace with friends in the twisties and they held up well. NO complaints here!!

Replaces a worn stock front tire on my CRB600RR with the Q2 and love it. The tire has good grip and feel great transitioning into corners.

Great tire as mentioned about the rear tire. Great traction and life so far! I noticed that these tires are harder to get rid of your "chicken strips." I've seen people at the track use these tires and they were dragging knee and getting the bike really low and they still had a small line of chicken strips which I think is good, think of it as an emergency life-line since you still have a little extra room for grip if needed.
