BEST OVERALL TYRE: DUNLOP SPORTMAX QUALIFIER

RATED FIRST FOR:‘HANDLING’ ‘BRAKING’ ‘TRACTION’ ‘STEERING’

THE STUNNING NEW SPORTMAX QUALIFIERFROM DUNLOP//

HOW WE GOT HERE...Faced with a variety of technical challenges Dunlop

has maximised unique technological features. From

strengthening stability whilst still delivering precise

road handling, to ensuring the swift application of

race technology for the road.

Evolution is a relentless and often dynamic force.

Every year it shaves that extra ounce or vital second

off the latest generation of SuperSport bikes. As these

bikes become ever more powerful and complex,

riders have become increasingly demanding,

experimenting with different riding styles and

expecting more and more from their tyres.

By consulting many of the finest sport riders Dunlop

has learned what today’s bikers want from their tyres.

Better handling, increased grip and improved road

feedback, together with a faster warm-up time.

The Sportmax Qualifier is a new breed of high

performance road tyre designed with riders in mind

...giving unique road feedback on both corners and

straights. Simply put, no matter how far you lean, the

Sportmax Qualifier will respond.

Fit Dunlop Sportmax Qualifier tyres to your bike. Then

ask yourself the question – do you qualify? We think

you’ll enjoy finding out the answer.
