Dunlop's Geomax MX51 replaces the venerable D756 soft-intermediate terrain tire and it exceeds every aspect of the old tires performance.

MX 51 Intermediate Terrain  Tire - New design profile with “more volume” for excellent cornering grip and improved ride comfort
Recessed biting edges for greater cornering traction and rut performance in a wider range of terrain conditions
Tie-bar for increased block stiffness and recess design for improved medium-to-harder terrain performance
Unique “cross stitch” shoulder block distribution for better traction and grip in medium-to-medium-hard conditions
Enhanced land/sea ratio and a wider tread profile for improved traction
Larger radius block base for strength and increased durability

New DUNLOP D952 compound delivers good grip and excellent durability, resulting in a tyre that works great in a wide variety of conditions.

High-durability construction for long wear and great traction.

Patterned after the popular D752, with a modified knob structure - resized tread blocks that also feature an increased radius at the base to make them more durable.

Front - 80/100 -21 51M TT
Rear  - 100/90 -19 57M TT,   110/90 -19 62M TT

Motorcycle Tires Under Extreme Load: A Look at the Physics of Grip

This text dives into the extreme stresses placed on motorcycle tires at high speeds, highlighting the impressive performance of these seemingly simple components.

Forces at Play:

  • < 200 HP: The engine's immense power needs to be transferred to the road through the tire, posing a huge challenge for grip.
  • < 270 km/h (168 mph): At this speed, the tire rotates 1.5 times per second and travels 4.5 km (2.8 miles) further than the front tire due to "spin" caused by slippage.
  • Torque: The engine's gearing amplifies torque at the rear wheel, resulting in strong pulling force.
  • 1450 Newtons: This immense force pushes the motorcycle and rider through the wind, with the tire providing the frictional force necessary for forward movement.
  • 150 kg (330 lbs) Wheel Load: The motorcycle's weight rests on the tire, further increasing friction and wear.
  • 4.5% Slip: At high speeds, some slippage is unavoidable, leading to heat generation and wear.
  • 100 Degrees Celsius Rubber Temperature: Frictional heat can significantly raise the rubber temperature, affecting its properties and grip.
  • 270 Newtons Centrifugal Force: The centrifugal force on each individual belt thread within the tire is enormous and can lead to structural damage.
