DUNLOP SPORTMAX Q-LITE 80/90-17M/C 50S Front/Rear TL 1 tire

【DUNLOP 355552 SPORTMAX Sportsmax Q-LITE 80/90-17M/C 50S Front/Rear Common TL 1 Tire On-Road】
■Product Description
Pattern design directly descended from Dunlop's high-grip radial tire SPORTMAX Q series.
Powerful dry grip, good road feel, and stable handling make it suitable for modern sportbikes.
An all-around sports bias tire that can be used widely from circuits to streets.
Compound
Developed a full carbon compound derived from high-grip radial tires.
Compound technology cultivated on the circuit is fed back for street use, providing high grip across a wide range from street to winding roads, also supporting circuit sports driving.
Structure
The number of plies in the carcass and cut breakers was adjusted according to the size to optimize tire rigidity.
The single R profile, which achieves neutral handling, was adopted, and linear handling was achieved by suppressing changes in the shape of the contact patch.
Pattern
Inheriting the pattern design directly from Dunlop's high-grip tire "SPORTMAX Q series," groove shapes and angles were optimized through simulation to suppress uneven wear.
While increasing the land-to-sea ratio compared to conventional bias tires, grooves that cross the contact patch effectively drain water, providing high dry grip under heavy loads and stable wet grip.
■Key Features and Representative Technologies Adopted
Tread pattern that achieves high drainage performance and wear resistance
Long grooves that penetrate the contact patch at all lean angles change angle from the tread center to the shoulder, achieving high drainage performance. Furthermore, by optimizing the groove shape and angle through wear simulation, uneven wear is suppressed, improving life performance.
○Profile that achieves neutral handling
By adopting a single R profile with a uniform radius of curvature across the tread section, changes in the contact patch shape during cornering are suppressed, significantly improving control performance during cornering compared to conventional products*. Linear handling achieves control performance that allows the rider to move the bike as intended at all lean angles.

○Newly developed carbon compound that exhibits high grip
By adopting a full carbon high-grip compound, it supports circuit driving with high grip across a wide range from street to winding roads. In addition, the structure is tuned to the size to optimize rigidity.
■Circuit performance and life performance comparison
Compared to conventional products, the best lap time was reduced by 0.8%, and the 5-lap average was reduced by 1.5% per lap, with life performance improved by 60%.
