DUAL-SPORT / ADVENTURE TYRES

Dual-sport and adventure riders use their motorcycles in various riding conditions. As a result of this, Dunlop may recommend multiple options of tyres for your motorcycle that may align with different riding environments. In this circumstance, option tyres can potentially carry different speed ratings. Therefore, when fitting option tyres with speed ratings that are lower than the original equipment tyres, riders should respect the speed rating of that tyre while operating their motorcycles.

Safety note: The minimum pressure for dual-sport/ADV off-highway use is 1,8 KPA cold pressure front and 1,8 KPA cold pressure rear. Pressures for dual sport/ADV use must be increased to pressures specified by the motorcycle manufacturer for highway use.

SAFETY TIPS FOR THE OFF-ROAD MOTORCYCLIST

  1. Air pressure: Always maintain the recommended tyre pressure for the type of terrain on which the motorcycle is ridden; check the owner’s manual. Underinflated tyres may cause wheel damage when ridden on rocky, rough terrain and allow the motorcycle to squirm or wander on smooth, hard terrain. Overinflation may damage the tyres and cause an unnecessary harsh ride. To accurately measure tyre pressure, use a standard tyre-pressure gauge.
  2. Condition: Check for cuts and gouges that may cause air leakage. Also check the tyres for missing knobs and excessively worn tread.
  3. Wheels: To avoid loss of control or injury, make sure axle nuts are tight and secure. Grasp each tyre at the front and rear and try to rock it on its axle to detect worn-out bearings or loose nuts. There should be no free play or slip as you rock the wheel, inspect wheels for broken or loose spokes and for cracks on the hub or rim.
