Product: 2017 Dunlop Sportmax Q3+ tyres

Redesigned Dunlop Sportmax Q3+ due for release this year.

Dunlop will release its new Sportmax Q3+ tyres in the second-half of 2017, due to arrive by spring and offering more longevity on the street and the track, plus more grip, stability and steering feel. More than 80-percent of the Q3+ has been redesigned compared to the Q3.

As the only hypersport tyre made in the US, the Q3+ was designed at Dunlop’s Buffalo headquarters in New York and manufactured in the Buffalo plant on the same high-tech production equipment as Dunlop’s racing tyres.

Dunlop’s Huntsville ‘Proving Grounds’ is the only motorcycle tyre test facility of its kind in North America, where the Q3+ was tested extensively, as well as several other race-tracks in America.

Dunlop’s Carbon Fiber Technology (CFT) employed in the Q3+ uses carbon fiber reinforcement in the tyre sidewalls for exceptional cornering performance and feel. The aggressive Q3+ tread pattern uses minimal tread grooves that are long in length to enhance wet-weather performance.

Intuitive Response Profile (IRP) technology in the Q3+ rear tyre allows greater latitude in line choice while cornering, plus amazingly linear steering. MT Multi-Tread technology in the Q3+ rear tyre uses a silica-infused, long-wearing compound in the center of the tread for longer tread life and special lateral grip compounds on the left and ride shoulders for outstanding grip.
