Hi click the CC Symbol onscreen for a full narrative on this video.
Welcome to my Channel, thanks for taking your time to watch my video.

I was recently asked to test the all new adventure tyre by Dunlop namely the Trailmax Raid, a 5050 adventure bike tyre aimed at the Pirelli Scorpion tyre also a 5050 tyre, which has been around now for a number of years.
Not to be mistaken with the Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR a very much more Road biased type of tyre standard fit on the Yamaha Tenere 700 and Aprilia Toureg 660.

I've been using the various Adventure Bike approved tyres on the many varied manufactured Adventure Bikes that I've been riding as you will see on this Channel with my World Tours, UK Tours and ride outs in Scotland most Sundays all year round. Covering copious miles along the way.

I intend to provide you with a rounded synopsis of the tyres performance in various criteria, whilst riding them on a BMW R1250 GS, over varied road surfaces both sealed and unsealed in wet and dry conditions.
I will judge the Dunlop Trailmax Raid Tyres on various criteria viz:

(i) Handling (ii) Wear (iii) Grip (iv) Look & (v) Noise.

This information will be collected over a couple of videos which I'll post on my Channel.

MY CONCLUSION AFTER RIDING OVER A THOUSAND MILES ON THESE TYRES ON VARIED ROADS SURFACES AND CONDITIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS :

(i) HANDLING : HIGHLY RATED BOTH ON BOTH WET AND DRY ROADS.

(ii) WEAR : WITH THE HIGH SILICA CONTENT WEAR IS SLIGHTLY DOWN BUT ACCEPTABLE.

(iv) GRIP : WITH THE HIGH SILICA CONTENT WAS FANTASTIC ON BOTH WET & DRY ROADS.

(iv) LOOK : ON AN ADVENTURE BIKE, A MUST THEY LOOK AWESOME.

(v) NOISE : SLIGHTLY UP ON A TRADITIONAL ROAD TYRE BUT NO WAY INTRUSIVE.

I'M CERTAINLY LOOKING TO BUY & RUN THESE TYRES ON MY OWN BIKE IN THE FUTURE...

l hope this video has given you a true insight into the new Dunlop Trailmax Raid Tyres.
