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.

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
