Dunlop - Trailmax RAID Adventure Motorcycle Tires

Love these Tires!

I just slapped a set of Dunlop Trailmax Raids on my bike, and honestly, they are a massive game-changer. I was looking for a true 50/50 tire that could handle serious dirt without feeling sketchy on the highway ride to get there, and these completely nailed it. On the pavement, I was shocked by how quiet and stable they are. No annoying aggressive tire drone, and they feel planted even when leaning into corners on wet roads. But once you hit gravel, rocks, and hardpack, that D908RR off-road heritage really shows up—the traction in the dirt gave me way more confidence than the stock tires ever did. Plus, the sidewalls are tough enough to take a beating from hidden rocks without flinching. If you want a tire that lets you actually tackle dirt roads and BDRs without dreading the highway miles to get home, these are 100% worth it. Thanks to the guys at TMBR for suggesting these!

These tires were a game changer off-road with no compromise on road.

These Tires exceeded my expectations both on road and off-road. Can’t believe how much more confidence I had in the dirt!

Wow! Really great tire for off-road ADV riding

Wow! I thrashed this tire for two weeks riding the Montana Moutain Range Tour, which is a 2,300 mile (although we rode 2,655 miles) tour of western mountain ranges. We rode dry pavement (maybe 20% of the ride was pavement), wet pavement, dry and wet gravel, and maybe 40 miles of rocky double track, mud and silt. Last year, i did the Idaho BDR on my new Tenere 700 - i started the IDBDR with 300 street miles, and 50 off-road miles on the 700. The stock Scorpions were OK, but were toast at 3,300 miles. The Raids have 2,600 miles and look pretty new yet. Traction was good almost everywhere, even side hilling. On day 11 of 12, we ran into a bunch of silt, and that was the only time that i didn't have confidence in the tire. However, i am unsure of what tire would give me confidence in silt. Before I bought tires, I spoke with Brandon. He was SUPER helpful. I lean towards Dunlop (they've supported USA motorcycle racing for decades), and Brandon suggested these when I described what we were riding. Brandon was RIGHT ON! I also asked about a 140/80 vs the 150/70. Brandon explained that the only way to go was with the 150/70 given the width of the stock tenere rim. I followed Brandon's advice, and tires were the last thing I worried about on this trip. I'd buy another pair in a second - i'll need a new pair next year before the next big adventure. I have a number of other rides planned for this year, including riding "sweep" for the Boise "Gravel Gala" gravel bike ride on 27 SE 2025.
