JLT (Jointless Tread Technology) 

winds the tread compound over the carcass in a narrow, continuous strip, enhancing stability, reducing flex, and maintaining more consistent footprint during braking, cornering and acceleration.

CARBON R

used in both front and rear tyres in the tread compound, which helps the compound heat more effectively, improving tyre warm-up time and increasing grip.

2CUT BELT

is adopted in the front tyre, layering aramid cord plies in a crossed configuration to deliver quick response and high cornering performance.

MT (Multi-Tread)

uses a long wearing compound in the center of the rear tread flanked by lateral-grip compounds, giving riders outstanding mileage without sacrificing grip performance.

SILICA-RICH COMPOUND 

is used in the center section, enhancing both tyre mileage and wet grip by increasing rubber reinforcement.

2CUT BELT

adopted for Q5S is tuned to be more manageable than that of Q5, improving its adaptability for a wider range of riders.

MT (Multi-Tread)

combines a long-wearing center compound with lateral-grip compounds for excellent mileage and grip. The same MT technology on the front boosts deep-lean grip and wet-condition confidence.

HIGH-SILICA COMPOUND 

provides better flexibility and improved traction in wet and low-temperature conditions.

FLEXIBLE ARAMID JLB

is used to so the tyre achieves weight reduction while improving sporty handling and road-surface compliance, distributing impacts more effectively through greater deflection across a wider range.
