Dunlop equips the Paris–Nordkapp race, where the mechanic's skills are just as important as the tires
Starting at midnight on June 28, 2026, 250 motorcyclists will embark on one of the most challenging autonomous journeys across the European continent — Paris–Nordkapp. This trial, where navigation, preparation, and mechanical skills play a crucial role, requires tires that can withstand the constant change of surfaces (mud, gravel, asphalt) over twelve days. Dunlop, as the official partner, will provide an adapted range of models. Participants in the Rally class, oriented towards off-road, will rely on the endurance of the D908RR, while Explorer class riders, who prefer asphalt, will use the Trailmax Raid. Notably, even for motorcycles with the same 17-inch wheels front and rear, the Mutant model is provided.
The presence of service points every 1500 km emphasizes that even the most reliable tires will eventually require replacement, and Dunlop guarantees that this opportunity will be provided.
