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.

The greatly improved overall performance was achieved by optimizing the profile, a new rubber compound and the adapted construction.

In order to protect the tube from the spoke heads of the rim, you should check the rim tape for damage every time you mount the tire and replace it if necessary.
The rim tapes are not only available in different inch sizes, starting from 12 to 21 inches, but also in certain dimensions in different widths. 15 inches are available in 38 or 46 mm or a 16 inch even in 4 widths 23, 28, 30, 60 mm so that they fit exactly into the rim well and do not slip. For motorcycle tires, these are made almost entirely of rubber.
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.

The CM-723, for the front of the bike, has small, irregular and polygonal tread blocks to increase traction, whilst the larger CM-724 has a tread pattern that helps disperse mud and lower rolling resistance.

A weekend rich with victories and podium places for the METZELER brand, with the riders Steve Holcombe, Alex Salvini, Loic Larrieu, Emanuele Facchetti and Andrea Verona competing in the fifth round of the Enduro World Championship which took place on the METZELER Offroad Park racetrack in Pietramurata
The wonderful permanent racetrack at the METZELER Offroad Park in Pietramurata, just a few kilometres from the northern tip of Lake Garda, played host to the fifth round of the FIM EnduroGP World Championship.

Pirelli Tire North America is pleased to announce its return as the “Official Motorcycle Tire” of the 2018 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship, marking the third consecutive season for the brand and its championship-proven SCORPION™MX tire lineup. The nation’s most prestigious off-road championship features 12 rounds at historic venues across 11 states. 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.
