The new Trailmax Raid is the new adventure tire of choice for true adventure riding enthusiasts. This latest addition to the Trailmax family is designed for 40% on-road and 60% off-road use, combining expertise and technology from Dunlop’s extensive line of tires.
Trailmax Raid’s design was inspired by Dunlop’s popular D908RR Rally Raid, a tire designed for aggressive adventure and cross-country conditions. The unmistakable block design on the D908RR tread is a key part of the Trailmax Raid’s tread design. The Raid utilizes tie-bars between the tread blocks to improve handling and stability for heavier bikes, while grip at higher lean angles when riding on the road is ensured by smaller gaps between the shoulder blocks. The large center blocks on the rear tire are designed to cope with road riding and high power output.
The off-road inspired tread pattern is combined with Dunlop’s latest technologies that are available in its premium on and off-road tires. These include:
-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.
-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.
ALL NEW FORMULA
Hi Silica is a highly dispersible high surface area silica used to increase the silica filler ratio to promote compound flexibility at low temperatures and provide tremendous wet grip and good durability.
