Dunlop Geomax MX14 now available to all riders
After a successful debut in MXGP last year that included in a victory in Lommel for Kawasaki factory rider Romain Febvre as well as the holeshot in three out of five sand races, Dunlop’s new Geomax MX14 motocross tyre is now available for all riders. Developed in collaboration with top riders in the FIM Motocross World Championship, this successor to the Geomax MX12 is tailored to the softest sand and mud surfaces in motocross.
Elaborating on the characteristics of the Geomax MX14, Dunlop says the tyre gives riders optimum grip by using a new pattern with reduced scoop block spacing and 18 per cent taller tread blocks. An improved rubber compound contributes to increased tyre strength and reduced flex. These innovations combine to give superior traction for holeshot performance, on straights and corner exits.
The tyre’s architecture allows the rider to experience optimal grip when accelerating, braking and cornering through increased surface penetration and the amount of terrain being scooped. In addition, the tread features flexible fin technology that maximises the tyre’s contact patch when under load, giving the rider enhanced control and predictability.
A step forward
“We wanted to design a tyre that was a step forward in every aspect not only compared to its predecessor, but also against its competitors, as proven in MXGP. With Geomax MX14, riders of all abilities and styles will feel improvements on sand and mud tracks,” comments Luca Davide Andreoni, marketing manager, Dunlop Motorcycle Europe:
“Acceleration and braking traction have been improved, as well as the level of precision the tyre offers when sliding. Each of these improvements added together lead to a revolution in tyre capability. Unique to our motocross customers, we are proud to offer this tyre, which is used in the pinnacle of motorsport, to any rider to experience as an off-the-shelf product.”
