MXGP: Dunlop Motorcycle Europe and Infront Moto Racing have extended their partnership, with Dunlop Motorcycle Europe continuing as an Official Tyre Partner of the FIM Motocross World Championship in a new multi-year agreement.
Dunlop’s extension comes on the back of its most successful MXGP season to date, highlighted by Kawasaki Racing Team’s Romain Febvre securing the 2025 world championship on Dunlop tyres. Dunlop is also a proven force across the MX2 and women’s WMX classes, where the likes of Kay de Wolf and Lotte van Drunen have been crowned world champions in recent years.
Teams in MXGP have a free choice of tyres, so Dunlop is constantly innovating its Geomax range of motocross tyres to provide riders with a competitive edge across a variety of track surfaces. Dunlop’s successes in the top tier of global motocross have been the ideal proving ground for testing development tyres in real conditions. As a result, products such as the Geomax MX14 sand tyre and Geomax MX34 intermediate tyre are the result of testing in the toughest motocross races in the world.
Dunlop has claimed MXGP and MX2 world championship titles in the last two seasons and has been the tyre of choice for 12 of the last 14 WMX champions. In North America Dunlop tyres have gripped every champion since 2010.
Romain Febvre will again spearhead Dunlop’s challenge this season, joined by a standout roster of riders and teams who continue to choose and trust Dunlop, including his teammate Pauls Jonass, Van Venrooy KTM’s Mattia Guadagnini and Nestaan Husqvarna’s Kay de Wolf, the 2024 MX2 champion stepping up to the premier class.
Further strengthening Dunlop’s presence in MXGP, Team Honda Motoblouz SR Motul will compete on Dunlop with Thibault Benistant and Kevin Horgmo. In MX2, Dunlop remains the preferred choice for Triumph’s Camden McLellan and Guillem Farres, alongside Husqvarna’s Liam Everts and Kawasaki’s Mathis Valin, among others.
Wim Van Achter, Motorsport Manager, Dunlop Motorcycle Europe, said: “We are excited to continue our partnership with Infront and MXGP as we support top teams with our tyres in this most competitive of championships. By working with some of the very best riders in the sport, we are able to develop the next generation of tyres for motocross racers across the world, at all levels.”
David Luongo, CEO of Infront Moto Racing: “Dunlop Motorcycle Europe has been a valued and longstanding partner of MXGP, and we are delighted to continue building this strong relationship together. Motocross is one of the most demanding and spectacular sports in the world, and having a partner like Dunlop Motorcycle Europe, who thrives in such a challenging environment, definitely adds real strength to the championship. Their commitment over many years reflects a shared passion for performance, innovation and the growth of the sport, and we are proud to have them alongside us as an Official Tyre Partner of MXGP.”
