Update - So yes, the DUNLOP TRAILMAX MISSION will also come to Europe.
Dunlop tested over 30 different types of mission prototypes before the final specification was signed. One of the main goals was the durability in addition to full off-road suitability. Dunlop's own tests have shown that drivers can count on excellent mileage. The series version of the Mission rear tire delivered 12,800 kilometers to the wear limit in the test, an impressive number against the background of the very good off-road qualities.
(* Internal test carried out on a 400 km long test track in the field, tire sizes 110 / 80-19 and 150 / 70B17 on Suzuki V-Strom 1000)

DUNLOP US: "We are proud to say not one other tire can do all the things Mission does, as well as it does, on such a variety of machines. With the Mission, Dunlop stayed focused on delivering a higher level of performance, mileage and durability over a wider range of conditions and terrain than any other tire. Today’s ADV bikes, Scramblers and Crossovers make enormous demands on tires, and deserve nothing less than Dunlop’s best technology. The Mission delivers."

Wrap-around lugs on the tire's edge to protect the tire from sharp rocks and provides additional off-road traction.
New compounds developed to deliver the perfect balance between road and off-road performance with focus on delivering class leading mileage performance.

Mitas to enhance the extremely popular E-07 tyre range
Mitas, part of the Trelleborg Group, enhances its offering to the trail/ adventure segment of the motorcycle market, and due to popular demand reintroduces a number of sizes to its E-07 range alongside the successful E-07+ to give riders in this dynamic segment even more choice.
Gustavo Pinto Teixeira, Vice President Two Wheels and Specialty Tyres, explains:
“The E-07 is a true 50% on-road and 50% off-road adventure tyre. Over its long years of service it has continued to be one of the most desirable choices for adventure riders, as it combines road riding performance and wear with more adventurous off-road trips. Due to its hardwearing compound and optimal performance on- and off-road, the E-07 remains a preferred choice on many journeys across the world.”
The E-07+ is a class-leading 60% on-road and 40% off-road adventure tyre. It is for those riders of larger adventure motorcycles with higher engine displacement and power outputs, who are looking for great off-road performance, as well as improved road performance. Since the tread design is slightly more on-road oriented than the original E-07, both aforementioned requirements are met. A bigger knobby design provides plenty of open space between the tread blocks to displace sand, mud and water from the contact patch, while keeping enough rubber between the road and the rotating tyre.
Selected sizes of E-07 and E-07+ are available in the “Dakar” version (marked with a yellow stripe) featuring a reinforced carcass, higher puncture resistance and harder compound. It is ideal for higher loads, longer adventure trips and extreme conditions.
Both patterns remain fully interchangeable and compatible between front and rear (e.g. E-07 front, E-07+ rear), thereby offering a degree of personalization that only Mitas can offer to the market.
All tubeless (TL) versions of both E-07 and E-07+ can be used with a tube on tube type rims.

Since its debut in 2008, BMW Motorrad has relied exclusively on METZELER to equip the GS Trophy bikes, an event highly anticipated by enthusiasts from all over the world.
METZELER has once again been chosen as the sole tyre supplier for the legendary BMW Motorrad International GS Trophy, the raid organised every two years by the Bavarian company to have their customers test the off-road skills of their bikes who have shown excellent riding skills by exceeding the selections provided. Since its first edition in Tunisia in 2008, METZELER has been the only tyre brand alongside BMW Motorrad as a technical partner to equip the motorcycles that are the protagonists of the coveted amateur trophy.
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.
The top spec tyre from Pirelli’s road range has been confirmed as standard equipment for the most prestigious supersport motorcycles
Pirelli DIABLO Supercorsa SP "V3" has received another recognition of its leadership in the segment of racing replica tyres for road use. It has been chosen by Honda, as original equipment for the HONDA CBR1000RR-R Fireblade and the CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP (in 120/70 ZR17 front and 200/55 ZR17 rear), the much awaited supersport machines of the Japanese manufacturer. The top performing member of the DIABLO™ road family from Pirelli, now in its third generation, is confirmed once more as the first choice for high-performance motorcycles recently introduced on the market by the most prestigious motorcycle manufacturers.
Developed in 2018 and now in its third generation, this race replica tyre is chosen by the most prestigious motorcycle manufacturers in the world as original equipment for their flagship supersports and naked bikes
The new PIRELLI DIABLO SUPERCORSA SP is the ultimate expression of Pirelli technology, its racing soul approved for road use.
In fact, the DIABLO SUPERCORSA SP is the third generation "V3" of Pirelli's highly popular race replica tyre featuring profile and structure that are nearly identical to those of the slick racing tyres that are used in national and international competitions such as the FIM World Superbike Championship.
The DIABLO SUPERCORSA SP establishes a benchmark for the race replica segment and thanks to its innovative features it has been chosen by Ducati as original equipment of its new Panigale V4 model year 2020, currently in action at the Bahrain International Circuit, where the official press launch of the new Italian supersports machine is taking place.

PIRELLI PHANTOM SPORTSCOMP RS is a new competition tyre also approved for road use, designed for motorcycles with eighteen-inch wheels and intended for classic sprint and endurance races.
PHANTOM SPORTSCOMP RS combines the historic tread design of the iconic PHANTOMTM SPORTSCOMP with the latest technology for high performance track tyres, and is designed for contemporary classic racing applications.
The main advantages offered to the rider are the quick warm-up and the wide range of operating temperatures that allows entry to the track even without tyre warmers. PHANTOM™ SPORTSCOMP RS offers great consistency as the bike is lent over thanks to a dual-radius profile optimised for use on older chassis; once on the racing line at full lean, the large footprint area communicates control to the front and grip to the rear tyre.
The 2020 Honda CRF1100L Africa Twin is comprehensively redrawn with an aggressive, compact rally style and concentrated off-road focus. Meanwhile, the touring comfort, technology and all-round capability of the new CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports are significantly enhanced – with the added option of Showa Electronically Equipped Ride Adjustment (Showa EERA™).
To make puncture repair easier when on tour the 21/18-inch front and rear (stainless steel) spoked wheels wear tubeless Bridgestone Battlax Adventurecross Tourer AX41T or Metzeler Karoo Street tyres, sized 90/90-21M/C 54H and 150/70R18 M/C 70H. Block pattern tyres (Continental 90/90-21M/C 54S and 150/70B 18M/C 70Q are also approved for fitment.
About the tires: In contrast to the unfortunate Dunlop OE tires of the 2016 model, the Honda Africa Twin CRF 1100 / 2020 model, are now rolling on the new Bridgestone AX41T, and it harmonises wonderfully with the motorcycle. Neutral, without tipping over, lots of grip, feeling even when wet.
The Metzeler Karoo Street is also homologated.
New Compound available for the Heidenau K60 Scout CC in the USA
January 2020 Heidenau will introduce a new compound for the K60 Scout 150/70 B17, the Cold Climate compound (CC).
This CC tire will be offered alongside the normal K60 Scout, and not replacing it. Gaining a reputation as the tire of choice among world travelers and weekend warriors, The K60 Scout is known for dependability and longevity; but some have not always been satisfied with the traction in cold, wet conditions. Specifically, the 150/70 B 17. To address this Heidenau has created a compound formulated to deliver similar performance in colder conditions. Warm weather riders might see a reduction in mileage compared to what they are used to with a Scout in return for an increase in street traction. Colder climates will find a great tire that preforms dependably wet or dry and delivers the value and performance they expect.
The same sturdy belted construction has been used, ensuring the dependable performance off-road riders expect. The change has been made to the tread compound only making for better adhesion in wet conditions. It is possible some riders might see a reduction in mileage of about 10%. Pricing will be the same as the current K 60 Scout.

The 2020 METZELER CALENDAR will deliver a united theme in its two versions: the ‘Classic’ variation, now in its 26th edition will feature historical black and white shots of two-wheeled competitions, and the version called "METZELER EXTREME" that is dedicated to the extreme enduro world where the German tire brand can boast a decades-long success story.
From 2020, the Dunlop Sportsmart TT will also be available in the tire sizes for Adventure Motorcycles (BMW GS / KTM etc.)
Dunlop Sportsmart TT TRAIL in 120/70 ZR19 and 170/60 ZR17.
That's what Metzeler tried with the M7 RR this year. The tire was taken out of the program after a short time and is no longer produced.
Of course there are bikers who really want to pull the gas cock with a GS, but if you have to put on a super sports tire, we question them. Since the rest of the time you have to accept all the disadvantages of a super athlete.
Getting such a tire up to operating temperature is not always that easy.
Avon Tyres has launched its eagerly-anticipated AVON ROADRIDER MKII sport touring motorcycle tyre, whichbrings several design and performance improvements over its predecessor.

Although the MICHELIN Power Cup 2 is essentially designed for track use, it is also type-approved for road use. So it is mounted on the new KTM 890 DUKE R as OE original equipment tire.
Like the entire new Power product line, the new Power Cup² features the identical carcass as the Power 5 of the Power GP and even the Power Slick².
It offers fast lap times over both a single lap and multiple laps.

MICHELIN City Grip 2 - When it comes to tyres, the priorities listed by everyday users of small and bigger-engined scooters are safety, grip on all types of road at all times, reliability and longevity.
Michelin’s response to these demands was the MICHELIN City Grip which proved a big hit with customers, with sales over the period from 2010 to 2018 soaring to eight million units.
In today’s rapidly expanding global market, notably in cities and other built-up areas, the demands expressed by scooter owners have become even more exacting. To address this, Michelin has optimised its offering with the development of the MICHELIN City Grip 2.
Being able to count on a tyre that they can use whatever the season clearly facilitates customer choice, while the availability of a long list of sizes covering not only small-engined models but also maxi- and electric scooters further helps to cover consumers’ varied needs.
The MICHELIN City Grip 2 is designed to address the demands of modern scooter owners, including high grip performance on all the types of road they may come across in and around towns and cities. To achieve this, engineers working out of Michelin’s Technology Centre conceived an innovative compound which features specific materials, including silica. Along with the tyre’s new ‘shark’s tooth’ tread pattern design, it provides unprecedented grip performance in wet weather, with no detriment to the acclaimed longevity associated with Michelin tyres, like it’s predecessor the MICHELIN City Grip.
