Dunlop Trailmax Raid tyre review 

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.

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

Great interview and discussion. Thanks.

Excellent, will definitely install them on my bike!

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.

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?

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.

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

Would like to see them in some muddy conditions.

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

I'm sold. Gonna order some for my 890R

great review will see how many KM will they last

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

Great review! Were these TL tyres being used with inner tubes on the standard Tenere rims or were the rims converted to Tubeless?...........

this will be my next tire on my V-Strom 800

I have a set in the mail. I loved the Missions but they are unobtainium these days. Going to give these a go.

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

Can you put these on a husqvarna 701 ENDURO LR

How do they handle wet tarmac

What is the said milage on a tyre? I know the dunlop trailmax mission is around 8000km

How do they handle mud, sand and rocks?

70-50 hey..

Enjoyed your review from California. Will try next replace Anakee Wild, I need 50/50 tire

I’m confused… these sound pretty much the same as the missions but less weight. Am I missing something?

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?

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.
