The time was right for Dunlop to support the drag racing market due to the higher demands of the Pro Street Bike class, where horsepower and speeds have achieved new levels in recent years.
Designed specifically for serious drag racers, the Dunlop Dragmax Rear Tire in 190/50ZR17 size offers unmatched traction and stability. This tire is ideal for V-Twin and metric motorcycles competing in the Pro Street Bike class, where horsepower and speeds push the limits of performance. The Dragmax features a wider and flatter profile compared to typical hypersports tires, providing a larger footprint for enhanced grip during high-speed launches and rapid acceleration. Its radial construction incorporates Dunlop's exclusive N-TEC technology, which combines cut-breaker construction with continuously-wound aramid Jointless Tread for maximum feel and stability on the track. This innovative design helps minimize centrifugal growth, maintaining consistent contact patch and reducing the risk of de-beading, even under extreme conditions. The ultra-soft R0088 compound, the softest street compound Dunlop has produced at its Buffalo, NY manufacturing facility, delivers exceptional grip and traction. The flat profile and soft compound enable low-pressure operation, further increasing the contact area and maximizing traction. Dunlop's Maximum Grip Technology (MGT) combines the tire's profile, compound, and N-TEC construction, delivering superior performance specifically tailored for drag racing applications. This tire is engineered to sustain high speeds and demanding acceleration, helping riders achieve consistent and reliable results on the strip. Whether used for competitive racing or high-performance street riding, the Dunlop Dragmax Rear Tire offers the durability, grip, and stability needed to meet the rigorous demands of drag racing enthusiasts.
