The following is from Dunlop, regarding the release of its new Geomax AT81 EX off-road tire:
Buffalo, New York–Ever wonder how EnduroCross riders manage to find traction over the extreme terrain they compete on? Dunlop’s D756EX has been a trade secret for years, winning numerous championships. Now that tire has been replaced with the all-new Geomax® AT81 EX that features even greater grip and performance.
The AT81 already has a championship-winning record, scoring numerous titles in AMA National Enduro competition, Grand National Cross Country, and other series. The new AT81 EX was built on the same winning tread pattern and construction as the AT81, but adds ultra grippy compounds to the equation.
Available in 110/100-18 rear size, the new EX is made for a wide variety of extreme conditions—not just EnduroCross—and was developed with the help of Cody Webb and Destry Abbott.
Webb, who used the new tire en route to winning the 2017 EnduroCross title, had this to say about the new tire. “The AT81 EX has been amazing and I was shocked how much better it made my rear shock feel going over obstacles and absorbing them. It’s great for trail riding and any type of extreme terrain.”
“I can honestly say the AT81 EX is the best advantage you could have to help you win races,” said multi-time off-road champion Destry Abbott. “I’m able to go up things I couldn’t with a regular tire, especially in rocky, slippery conditions. I’ve been using it for EnduroCross racing and extreme rides and it has helped me with my confidence too.”
The Geomax AT81 EX will be available in early January exclusively through dunlopmousse.com
