The new Pirelli SCORPION MX32 MID SOFT is the successor to Pirelli's most successful product in the Motocross World Championship.
The new SCORPION MX32 MID SOFT is the successor to Pirelli's most successful motocross tyre in the FIM Motocross World Championship, a discipline in which the brand has won 82 world titles since 1980 thanks to the successes achieved with riders such as Stefan Everts, Antonio Cairoli, André Malherbe, Eric Geboers, Jöel Smets, David Thorpe, Jeffrey Herlings, Romain Febvre, Tim Gajser and Jorge Prado. It has been developed thanks to Pirelli's decades of experience in top motocross competition and is completely new compared to its predecessor. The new front tyre improves braking behaviour and facilitates cornering, the rear offers even more traction for the holeshot and exiting corners. Finally, the new Pirelli SCORPION MX32 MID SOFT also improves versatility on medium-hard terrain.
The new SCORPION MX32 MID SOFT will make its official debut in the next Motocross World Championship equipping the bikes of some of the greatest riders of this Championship and, like all Pirelli racing tyres, will also be available for purchase by all motorcycle fans of this discipline.

Developed and tested with racers, this new rear tire was designed to give top traction in deep and soft sand. The new tread pattern will replace the current SAND pattern for rear wheels.
Dunlop Motorcycle Tires is excited to introduce the latest addition to the Geomax family - the Dunlop Geomax MX34, an engineering feat designed to deliver unrivaled performance and control. The MX34 is a versatile powerhouse that can handle more terrain with greater ease. With an advanced mud evacuation system, new carcass material, and state-of-the-art Progressive Cornering Block Technology (PCBT), the MX34 provides enhanced grip and unbeatable traction. Whether you are competing professionally or hitting the trails on the weekends, you can trust the MX34 to provide the stability and control you need to perform at your best. With this new tire, you will have the confidence to take on any challenge and come out on top.
The Geomax MX34 truly excels in soft/intermediate terrain conditions, with an emphasis on softer conditions. Dunlop’s goal was to provide a tire that delivers real performance advantages to give racers a true competitive edge by improving overall performance in a broader range of conditions all while keeping its durability. To do this, Dunlop relied on top AMA Pro racers, Team Dunlop Elite amateur racers for small bike sizes, and the testing team at the Dunlop Proving Grounds in Huntsville, Alabama to develop the tire on a wide range of tracks and conditions.
Dunlop's new sand tire Dunlop Geomax MX14, developed in collaboration with top riders from the Motocross World Championship (MXGP), is now available for all motocross riders.
The successor to the Geomax MX12 was designed for extremely sandy conditions and offers drivers noticeable traction advantages at the start, on straights and when exiting corners - whether in deep sand or on sandy surfaces with hard subsoil. The greatly improved overall performance was achieved by optimizing the profile, a new rubber compound and the adapted construction.

The only naked with a supercharged engine currently on the market relies exclusively on PIRELLI DIABLO ROSSO III tyres as original equipment in the sizes 120/70 ZR 17 and 190/55 ZR 17
Protagonist at the EICMA show last November and recently presented to the international press in Las Vegas, the Kawasaki Z H2 represents the most radical and powerful motorcycle ever produced of the historic Z series. Now the flagship model of this family, the supercharged naked from Akashi is able to satisfy the most demanding motorcyclists thanks to a long list of cutting-edge technical and electronic features. The most defining feature is certainly the 988cc four-cylinder in-line supercharged engine that is able to deliver up to 200 PS at 11,000 rpm.
To transmit the high power generated by the engine to the ground, Kawasaki has selected Pirelli DIABLO ROSSO™ III in the 120/70 ZR17 (58W) "K" size for the front and 190/55 ZR17 (75W) "D" for the rear of the Z H2. The version of the front tyre (K) was designed by Pirelli engineers specifically in order to meet the Japanese company's goals in terms of agility and handling. The rear version (D) manages the incredible power and immense torque of the supercharged engine ensuring high stability and traction management.
Introducing Dunlop’s next generation intermediate-to-hard terrain off-road MX tire: the Dunlop Geomax MX53. Designed to offer more performance in a wider variety of terrains, the MX53 excels in hard-packed track conditions while also offering greater versatility in intermediate riding conditions.
With its upgraded technology, the MX53 will give riders more versatility with better performance. This is in part due to the all-new tread pattern on both the front and rear tires. A revolutionary horseshoe-shaped cluster of knobs has been added to the front tire. This acts as a giant claw to dig into the ground and give the rider improved traction on hard-packed terrain and maximizes braking grip.
With our new motocross competition profile Maxxcross MX-ST, we have been involved in the most important international motocross series since this year. Developed especially for the FIM Motocross World Grand Prix (MXGP), two riders have recently achieved considerable success with their Intermediate / Soft-Ground Motocross tires.
Just recently, 17-year-old Mattia Guadagnini won the Junior World Championship title in Pietramurata, Italy, in the 125cc class. With a fantastic performance, he has topped the podium at the FIM European Championship EMX125 with a place at the top of the podium. So far, the Husqvarna rider from Team Maddii Racing has won six races. He will compete in the 250cc EMX next season. In addition, we can look forward to Alberto Forato, also from the "Team Maddii Racing". The 19-year-old finished third in the European Championship in the 250cc class with his Maxxis-tired Husqvarna.

Pirelli continues to increase its commitment to the sport at the grassroots level with technical assistance to help riders improve their riding experience through ideal tire selection.
Last year, Dunlop tested new technologies in MXGP races. An improved tread pattern was tested with tie-bars between shoulder blocks.
This, coupled with a new block arrangement provided higher resistance against cracking when ridden on firm intermediate terrain. Dunlop also found this resistance was also helped by an all-new compound with higher shear resistance. By incorporating such technologies into the Geomax MX33, Dunlop has created a tyre with a greater range of capabilities than its forerunner, the race-winning Geomax MX3S.
For the Geomax MX 12, Dunlop’s U.S. race team joined forces with DPG and Dunlop’s European MXGP World Championship racing team to develop the tire on tracks here and in Europe, including testing on some of Europe’s “bottomless sand” tracks on the world MX championship schedule.
Designed for soft-terrain applications, the MX12 excels in extreme sand and mud conditions. Dunlop’s goal with this tire was to increase overall performance in a broader range of conditions—for example maintaining the tire’s high level of grip on muddy tracks even when the mud begins to dry out.
Bridgestone has completed the roll-out of its new-generation MX line-up with the launch of Battlecross X10 for sand terrain. With an advanced new tread design and increased block deformation, X10 promises riders stronger traction, better self-cleaning and higher sideslip control in all types of sandy conditions.
The new tyre was developed and tested by top riders on the MX competition circuit. By deploying the new design in its mainstream Battlecross range, Bridgestone now makes higher performance on sandy tracks attainable for all riders, from national champions to intermediates and beginners.
More deformation, more traction.
Michelin Australia today launched the new MICHELIN StarCross 5 range of motocross tyres.
Available in four versions (Hard, Medium, Soft and Sand) MICHELIN StarCross 5 tyres are designed to give high levels of performance on all types of ground conditions and terrain found in motocross and cross country races.
Lighter casing has reduced weight by as much as 15 percent, with the average across the StarCross 5 range about 10 per cent. The most obvious by-product of trimming the 'fat' is less unspring weight, which has palpable benefits in terms of braking, handling and general manoeuvrability.
The lighter casing is down to a new production technology, with the three-ply nylon design jettisoned in favour of a two-ply polyester construction. Michelin claims the update has not only reduced tyre 'rebound' but lateral rigidity remains unaffected. And the StarCross 5 tyres also also require less 'warm-up' compared to their predecessors.
MXGP stopped in Valkenswaard and the Dutch Brabant region of Holland for round five of eighteen in the FIM Motocross World Championship and the Grand Prix of Europe. The sunshine and spring weather of a week ago in Arco di Trento (Italy) were but a memory in the nice Dutch city that for most of the weekend remained covered by dark clouds and chilled by temperatures below fifteen degrees. The ‘Eurocircuit’ of Valkenswaard has a long Grand Prix tradition and has a soft sandy surface that digs deep during the races and is physically demanding for the riders.
Even though Bridgestone is still a player at the consumer level with the fabulous 403/404 tire combo, they are ready to make a new move into the motocross market with the Battlecross X40.
Using the Battlecross product name for the first time, both new tires exploit Bridgestone’s advanced MX tread and block design technology, developed and proven at the highest level of motocross competition.
The X40 is a hard-pack tire.
