FOR ROAD AND TRACK
Spring is upon us, as is track-day season, so
let us introduce the Sportmax Q4. This new
no-compromise street-legal track-day tyre
from Dunlop boasts more land area and fewer
tread grooves, which equates to a massive
footprint, especially during maximum lean.
Borrowing technology from Dunlop’s
involvement in the MotoAmerica superbike
series, it delivers race-like grip and feedback,
and will run on the track at close to street
pressures, minimising chassis adjustment
needs and making it also user-friendly as a
street tyre.
Distributor: Forbes & Davies
Size: popular sizes to suit 600cc bikes and
up, from authorised Dunlop stockists
Price: From $379
