Dunlop Trailmax Raid tyre review

- Dunlop has a new 50/50 tyre, designed to perform well on both road, and off-road. The new Raids are aimed at adventure bike riders who want solid street performance, but also need rubber to cope with some light off-roading.
Mossy went to test the new tyres, and this is what he thinks about them...

Good review. It seems to me that the new Dunlop tyre will be a winner. People that know Chris Moss will be aware that he doesn’t give praise lightly.
So it's not really clear to me from this video...where do these sit relative to the Trailmax Mission tyres? I thought they were meant to be a 50/50 tyre that's great on the road as well?
The mission is a bit more road focus than the raid
Dunlop's have been my favourite tyres for my Gixer 600 & 750 and my R6, so when I wear out these Pirelli's on my Ducati Multistrada, I'll be fitting these
Thanks for the review. I ride an Aprilia Tuareg, so your experience on the T7 is as good as if you were riding my scooter.
Good review...I've done about two hundred miles on these tyres on my T7 and they are great! If their wet weather grip is as good as they say i will be very happy!! Cheers Steve
Are they better than the pirelli scorpions
@@martinfretwell Definitely better off road..miles better. And they seem to be pretty equal to the Pirelli's on road...in the wet too, which is impressive for a 50/50 tyre. Cheers Steve
Excellent, will definitely install them on my bike!
Great review, I have a set of these ready to go on the bike, have recently finished a set of trailmax missions and loved those
Would like to see them in some muddy conditions.
Really looking forward to hearing how long these are going to last on the road, specifically on a 1290 or similar. Skipped on ordering these for the moment for monetary reasons and wanting a more off-road tyre so I went for the Anakee Wild, but these or the Missions are definitely on the scope for me next summer.
Great interview and discussion. Thanks.
I'm sold. Gonna order some for my 890R
I have a set of the Trailmax Missions on my Ktm 690 enduro r. I use the bike to commute to work a lot and was burning through the rear knobby tires real quick on the road. The mission tire has already lasted much longer than the knobby tires did. They do good on everything but mud for me. I hate mud anyway so I do my best to avoid it. How much smoother they are on the road was a great trade off though
i Just bought these tyres. I have a KLR 650 2023, do you recommend use tubes with? I dont know if my rim is for tubeless
Did you get any instability at higher speeds?
With a 2011 GS Adventure fully loaded with metal panniers and camping gear, I found that at 70mph they felt very light on the front tyre, and quite a bit of wobble on the bars, feels like it’s on the cusp of a tank slapped. Got much worse when they got hotter, like when riding on concrete road surface rather than tarmac.
I’ve since tried them unloaded, and they feel better, but still a little unstable at 70mph. I am using BMW recommended tyre pressures, I’ll try playing around with them to see if I can improve them.
Apart from motorway speeds the tyres feel great everywhere else, and feel great on dusty / gravelly trails
I have a set in the mail. I loved the Missions but they are unobtainium these days. Going to give these a go.
this will be my next tire on my V-Strom 800
Great review! Were these TL tyres being used with inner tubes on the standard Tenere rims or were the rims converted to Tubeless?...........
What is the said milage on a tyre? I know the dunlop trailmax mission is around 8000km
great review will see how many KM will they last
Can you put these on a husqvarna 701 ENDURO LR
70-50 hey..
How do they handle wet tarmac
I’m confused… these sound pretty much the same as the missions but less weight. Am I missing something?
The tm mission are not 50/50
@@zero_grip_gs every place I have seen them they are rated as 50/50
Take that back. Dunlop calls the missions 60/40 and the raid 40/60.
@@gregbaldwin9460 when I saw the press releases dunlop was indeed calling them 50/50. After jornalists and reviews dismissed them as such they "renamed" their offroad specs.
After trying them myself, i agree with their decision. My next set of hoops will be these raids, once my tourance are worn out 👌
@@zero_grip_gs I’m pretty happy with the Missions on road, and off road. I mostly come across Rick, gravel, and packed dirt. The little mud I have seen on them are squirrely
Dunlop web sight says that the RAID is a 40/60 tire. This review says otherwise, I'll go by what Dunlop says it is. I have Trail Max Mission tires on my 1290 S and they are noted by Dunlop as a 50/50 tire. Just completed several sections of the TAT in June with the Missions and they worked great. What is the expected mileage we can expect from the RAID?
Enjoyed your review from California. Will try next replace Anakee Wild, I need 50/50 tire
You desperately needed it because the trailmax mission is so crap.
I have the missions and like them, though the front does wash out pretty easily in the moon dust. But they overall performed well on a 250 mile trip that was about half off road, some of it pretty gnarly. These Raids look more aggressive than the Missions and I'm looking forward to trying them out. My Missions have 4k on them and aren't even half worn out yet so I have to be patient.
