PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: DUNLOP TRAILMAX RAID TYRE

A new addition to the Dunlop range, the Dunlop Trailmax Raid adventure tyre is crafted for a balance of 60% off-road and 40% on-road usage, drawing on Dunlop’s extensive tyre expertise and technology.

Suitable for mid-size dual-sport motorcycles to large adventure bikes, it delivers impressive off-road capabilities alongside excellent wet weather grip and touring performance.

RALLY RAID INSPIRED

The Trailmax Raid was inspired by the popular D908RR Rally Raid, known for its block design made for aggressive adventure and cross-country conditions. Tie-bars between tread blocks enhance stability for heavier bikes, and smaller gaps between shoulder blocks provide better grip during road riding at higher lean angles. The rear tyre features large centre blocks to handle road conditions and high-power output effectively.

KEY TECHNOLOGIES:

DYNAMIC FRONT FORMULA (DFF)
The front tyre section shape and mould profile have been optimised using Dunlop’s Dynamic Front Formula (DFF) design approach. This provides the ideal balance between steering effort, stability, and feedback, delivering unparalleled rider confidence and enjoyment.

CONSTANT CARCASS TENSION CONTROL
Carcass Tension Control System (CTCS) utilises variable tension across the whole carcass width to optimise the contact patch for the ideal footprint and remarkable handling.

HISILICA
An increased Silica content is used to promote compound flexibility at low temperatures. Used to reduce a compound’s reliance on temperature to offer optimum grip in wet and less than ideal conditions, as well as to increase mileage.

JOINTLESS BELT (JLB) CONSTRUCTION
JointLess Belt (JLB) construction in radial sizes eliminates the belt overlap, resulting in smoother handling, minimises the tread centre’s dynamic growth at high speed, and reduces distortion ad excessive heat build-up.
