Dunlop Sportmax Q4 Rear Tire

Description

Bold Look, Bold Performance for Bold Riders. Welcome to the Next Level. Here’s the first thing you need to know about Dunlop’s all-new Sportmax Q4: This purpose-built track day tire achieves lean angles up to 62 degrees, more than any other street-legal tire Dunlop has ever made. Utilizing technology shared by Dunlop’s cutting-edge MotoAmerica road race tires, the Q4 is made in Dunlop’s Buffalo, New York, plant on the same proprietary equipment as the racing products – Only Dunlop makes sport tires in America. Over the years, Dunlop has developed many class-leading sport tires as well as racing tires for professional and amateur road racers. The hypersport Sportmax Q3+(R) combines both, with one foot on the street and the other on the track, performing amazingly well on track days considering it’s built primarily for aggressive street riding. Now the Q4 takes that performance to a whole new level. The Q4 is not a Q3+ replacement, but is instead designed to add depth to the Sportmax family lineup to accommodate track-day-level riding like no other Dunlop DOT street tire has before, with even greater overall performance and grip than the Q3+. This purpose-built track-day tire achieves lean angles up to 62 degrees, more than any other street-legal tire Dunlop has ever made. The user-friendly Q4 does not require tire warmers, and runs at street pressures, eliminating the need for chassis or electronic adjustments. Rear tire compound contains carbon black like Dunlop’s racing slicks for maximum grip. Jointless Tread (JLT) technology uses a continuously wound strip compound to optimize stability, flex, and grip across the rear tread profile. Carbon Fiber Technology (CFT) uses carbon fiber reinforcement in the sidewalls for exceptional cornering performance, braking stability and feel. On Tread Branding – raised letters built into the sidewall. Made in the U.S.A. Technology: Carbon Fiber Technology (CFT): Both front and rear tires utilize Dunlop’s proprietary Carbon Fiber Technology (CFT) in the sidewalls for even greater stability. This innovation delivers exceptional cornering stability especially at high lean angles, precise steering characteristics, and smooth transitional steering performance for more confidence-inspiring handling. Intuitive Response Profile (IRP): The Q4 also features Dunlop’s proprietary Intuitive Response Profile (IRP) for even more linear and responsive steering. Jointless Tread (JLT): The rear tire tread features Dunlop’s Jointless Tread (JLT) technology. Using the same construction process as Dunlop’s racing slicks, special machines wind the tire tread compound over the carcass in a narrow, continuous strip that’s visible on the tire. JLT helps increase tire stability, reduce flex, and helps create a larger more consistent footprint during braking, cornering and acceleration.
