Dunlop Trailmax Raid Celebrates One Year Of Allowing Adventure Riders To Explore Without LimitsDunlop is celebrating the first anniversary of the launch of Trailmax Raid. Developed as Dunlop’s first 50/50 on/off-road offering, Trailmax Raid combines expertise and technology from the brand’s extensive adventure riding and touring range with that from its off-road sector.

Launched to the media amidst the scenic beauty of the Italian Tuscan hills 12 months ago, the release of Trailmax Raid underlined Dunlop’s commitment to developing a range that was able to suit the needs of every rider. Trailmax Raid was introduced in a size kit that covers everything between mid-size Dual-Sport to crossovers as well as large displacement adventure touring bikes.

A trusted tire choice in the adventure segment

Over the last 12 months, Trailmax Raid has proven to be a popular choice in the trail and adventure segment, becoming the trusted tire of riders, journalists, influencers, and adventure and experience riding schools across Europe. Many have praised the tire’s characteristics, highlighting its “remarkable” off-road and “outstanding” on-road behaviour, praising the high levels of confidence it provides when riding on and off asphalt.

Trailmax Raid has also become the tire choice of several off-road experience centres and riding schools across Europe, where hundreds of off-road riding enthusiasts in the UK, Italy, France, Switzerland, Spain, Germany and Greece have learned to hone their off-road riding skills on bikes equipped with Trailmax Raid. The tire has demonstrated its success in equipping adventure bikes from Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and Harley-Davidson, among other manufacturers, solidifying it as an ideal choice for novice riders.

In addition, 2023 marked Dunlop’s return to EICMA, the world’s largest motorcycle show. Dunlop proudly showcased its full trail lineup at EICMA, prominently featuring Trailmax Raid at the centre of the Dunlop stand. This reaffirmed Dunlop’s confidence in Trailmax Raid to sit as an exemplary model within its product range.
