Dunlop brings new D952 to the UK
Dunlop Motorcycle has announced the launch date of a new motocross tyre into the UK market.
Following a successful year in the American market, the new D952 arrives here in February and means UK riders can now benefit from the tyre's wide performance range.
The D952 has been developed for the multi-terrain, recreational motocross market and will work on a wide variety of surfaces. The tread pattern is based on the hugely popular D752 but has slightly larger tread blocks with sturdier bases and a more durable compound.
As well as good durability the specially-developed compound delivers a high level of grip, resulting in a tyre that has long wear and great traction.
With the tread design and compound modifications making the tyre harder-wearing, more resistant to chunking and suitable for a wider range of ground surfaces it is foreseen that the D952 will appeal to a broad range of riders, especially as the price reflects the current economic climate.
"This new tyre offers everything the off-road enthusiast needs to push their bike to the limit. The D752 was a remarkable success in the UK and we anticipate that the new D952 will do the same" said Bryn Phillips, Dunlop Motorcycle Product Support Manager.
"In America the D952 has become a popular choice for a large number of off-roaders. Motocross is a big phenomenon across the states and Dunlop supplies many thousands of motocross tyres into the sport. The D952 has impressed the US and we can't wait to see the response to it in the UK" concluded Bryn.
The tyre will be available from dealers in February in the following sizes:
100/90-19 57M
110/90-19 62M
80/100-21 51M
