Dunlop Elite 3 Bias-Ply

• Dunlop Elite 3
Also known as the E3, this new tire delivers improved performance and longer wear for big road bikes. This bias-ply model is designed specifically for all of the major touring motorcycles and large cruisers.
Touring/Sport Bias/Cruiser

The wide-open expanses of the United States offer a huge variety of road conditions for sport, cruiser and touring riders alike. Since Dunlop is the only manufacturer producing tires in the U.S., we have a unique insight into the needs of motorcycle enthusiasts from one coast to the other, and we use this knowledge to create the most advanced tires in all of motorcycling.


FEATURES
  • New range of bias and belted-bias high-mileage premium touring tires to replace the 491 Elite II in like sizes with black sidewalls.
  • The bias-ply Elite 3 features a new profile modeled after the shape of modern radial-construction tires and shares many of the same benefits.
  • The load capacity of the E3 rear tire for the Honda GL1500 is increased to 992 pounds for greater carrying capacity.

Note: When new tires are fitted, they should not be subjected to sudden acceleration, hard cornering, maximum power or braking for at least 100 miles. Failure to do so may result in loss of control and serious injury. The 100 mile run-in is required to adjust to the feel of new tires versus the worn tires
