Dunlop has launched a new addition to its enduro tyre range – the Geomax EN91 EX.
It’s based on the race-winning Geomax EN91, and is a rear tyre designed for everything from extreme enduro events where FIM-compliant and/or road-legal tyres are not required by regulations, to weekend enthusiasts seeking improved performance.
The super soft compound, as used in trials competition tyres, promises enhanced grip, particularly on challenging and slippery terrain, as well as improved traction. The tread pattern incorporates taller blocks to assist riders in gaining grip on loose terrain, while the construction of the carcass is said to yield improved feedback and control. In contrast to the standard EN91, the casing boasts greater rigidity, facilitating enhanced surface penetration for increased traction.
The Dunlop Geomax EN91 EX is produced only as a rear fitment in one size – 140/80-18. It can be combined with any Geomax 80/100-21 or 90/90-21 front, and Dunlop recommends it is fitted with a Dunlop Enduro mousse.
