The Dunlop Trailmax Raid is the new adventure tire of choice for true adventure riding enthusiasts. As adventure riders, they are caught between the two diametrically opposed worlds of dirt and street riding. They want smoothness and longevity in an Adventure tire, but they also need grip on every imaginable surface from gravel and mud to slick asphalt. Starting with the Raid's advanced rubber compound, the all-new formula features highly dispersible high surface area silica to improve performance on wet surfaces, which also reduces the tire's reliance on heat to give optimum grip. This compound includes a mix of resins and carbon black variants that help reconcile conflicting requirements between road and off-road use as well. With the ever-increasing popularity of adventure bikes, manufacturers have been clamoring to deliver the next do-it-all tire and Dunlop is one of the companies that's out to answer the call with their latest model, the Trailmax Raid tires.
Dunlop Trailmax Raid tire features and benefits:
- 40/60 Adventure tire
- Delivers strong performance both off-road and on-road. It provides excellent off-road traction and cornering grip, outstanding wet grip, good chipping resistance, balanced handling, and road-tire stability and performance
- Aggressive tread pattern derived from our popular D908RR has been optimized to reduce rolling noise and provide improved road performance without sacrificing off-road performance
- Unequaled wet performance thanks to a wet-focused compound with highly dispersible high surface area silica
- Dynamic Front Formula (DFF) is a tire design method utilizing an intricately balanced combination of section profile, carcass material properties and assembly process to provide exceptional handling
- Carcass Tension Control System (CTCS) utilizes variable tension across the whole carcass width to optimize the contact patch for the ideal footprint and remarkable handling
- Jointless Belt construction (JLB) in radial sizes eliminates the belt overlap, resulting in smoother handling, minimizes the tread center's dynamic growth at high speed, and reduces distortion and excessive heat build-up
- Tie bars linking blocks help rigidify the tread to improve handling and stability
- Rear tread has larger center blocks to cope with road riding and high power output engines
- The Raid range comprises both radial and bias sizes to target both medium-size dual-sport models to full-size adventure bikes
