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.
Sizes to be made available are as follows:
– Sportmax Q3+ Front 120/60ZR17 (55W) BW
– Sportmax Q3+ Front 120/70ZR17 (58W) BW
