Dunlop's Secret Spec Tire is now available: Is it a Game Changer?

#motocross
This Week in MXA, episode 202, presented by O'Neal, is all about Dunlop's new 'Factory Spec' tire. MXA's Josh Mosiman and Trevor Nelson flew out to Huntsville, Alabama, to visit the Dunlop test facility and compare the 'factory spec' tires, to the production MX34 tires. Josh rode the 2025 Husky FC450 with both sets of tires back-to-back to figure out the difference on the track, plus he talked to Chris Siebenhaar, Brian Fleck, and Ryan Dungey about the new rubber.

Just ordered because I'm a vet and I have Factory Edition bikes it only makes sense🤷‍♂️

[Jason-eiyw]

Vet rider here do 5 laps max a day and pack it up. Obviously this is essential with my A kit suspension

[SUFROC]

How about an affordable tire by Dunlop. That would get me hyped!!

[ktkace]

NGL as a newbie rider, the MX34's sound like the perfect practice tires to me!
soft comfy tires for me at least for now!!

[pauliewalnuts]

In my opinion, good tires use a soft rubber compound. Rubber is expensive, consequently, The softer & stickier the tire, the more expensive it is. People dont understand theres a direct relationship & they complain when their tires wear fast. There is no soft tire that lasts forever, usually a compromise is made between durability & traction. Id love to try these, but they kind of seem minimally different.

The new ONE industries helmet looks like an Alpinestars M 10.. That Moto track there is 🔥. They need to make that tire with a softer rubber compound for off roaders !

Well nice new Dunlop tire expensive but best👍🇬🇧

I remember my bikes having 18” rears… I guess I am out of touch. I heard kidney belts are obsolete as well…

[Cheeeebooom]

I wonder if they will make a spec tire in a MX 53 ?

[Forest-Monk-Outdoors]

and now the factory guys are on the next gen

[LifeWideOpen]

How about a tire that's under 50$

[kadenbourgeois]

Most of the pros want to run the mx14 outdoors most of the time and its available to the public

[jeffdacey]

I got a set because I’m a +40 vet rider and I always wanted to know how much different factory parts really were. I feel like the few extra dollars is worth it to actually try something that use to be reserved for professional factory riders only.

I have been out of motocross for a long time and just recently got back into it. I'm 62 and my go to tires used to be the 752 or 756. I ride on a track that is mostly mowed grass because not too many people ride it anymore. What would a good tire be for me?

[davidramsay]

I've ran shinko 520s on my 250s with awesome results an a Sedona mx887 on my 125s no reason to run a top of the line For a weekend warriors.

[MX-CO]

So is it better? Did it make you faster?

[Zulululux]

Really dumb having to get these Expensive tires via KTM. Screw KTM

It was smart on ktm to get All of them from dunlop forcing ppl to have to get it from them, but Jesus. ...

[dennismillus]

Now dumblop is trying to follow Hoosier tires. They will always follow Hoosier HMXSPEC tire. We already seen what the pro race teams did to the Dumblop Factory Race spec tires. Everyone seen the teams cut Knobs in half durring the outdoor season. Trying to get better traction.

[MotoC]

Need to mass produce them and bring them to Australia.

[daneunderwood]

ofc theres not gonna be much difference cause the mx34 was the spec tire before it was released
