The Trailmax TR91 has been specifically engineered for the growing number of riders who want new experiences - the kind that aren't always found on tarmac roads. It delivers precise handling, confident traction and long-distance comfort across a wide range of surfaces, along with low wear-rates. JLB (Jointless Belt) construction, specific block design and specially developed compounds all culminate to produce this new cutting edge tyre.
“Riders should have confidence in their tyres to take them wherever they want to go and that is the ethos for the Trailmax TR91” said Lisa Faulkner, Dunlop Motorcycle Manager. “By using JLB construction we are able to produce optimum stability and shock absorption which delivers the results when riding on road. This technology mixed with a specific block design is what enables outstanding performance both on and off road” said Lisa. The tyres will be available in January 2010 in the following sizes:
FRONT REAR 100/90 x 19 130/80 x 17 110/80 x 19 140/80 x 17 90/90 x 21 150/70 x 17

Pirelli Moto Takes Over in Dakar 2009: 1st and 2nd Overall with Scorpion Rally 2009 Pirelli's debut in the Dakar as a supplier to the official KTM factory teams was nothing short of dominating, with the new SCORPION RALLY tyre capturing the 1st and 2nd positions on the podium with riders Marc Coma and Cyril Despres. This off-road rally tyre was developed together with KTM in preparation for this year's Dakar. Out of a field of 235 riders, seven riders chose to have support from Pirelli and out of these seven, three riders finished in the top 7 positions overall. KTM Repsol rider Marc Coma (SPA) and Red Bull KTM rider Cyril Despres (FRA) were fiercely competitive in this 31st edition of the Dakar, considered to be the most difficult rally race in the world, which this year moved 10,000 km away to South America. Two years of development on the new SCORPION RALLY tyre, made specifically for rally application and born from the winning heritage of the Scorpion product family, has resulted in a product worthy of such a challenging race. This new tyre underwent testing and collaboration with the best rally riders and racing teams, and Dakar 2009 was chosen for its launch due to the event's popular following and demanding terrain. The innovative and complementary structure helped guarantee outstanding performance and high resistance to fatigue and puncture. Furthermore, the compound and knobs layout is designed to provide great traction and grip for the difficult terrains that are encountered in even most demanding rallies such as Dakar. Pirelli Tyre would like to thank Marc Coma, Cyril Despres the entire KTM team and its riders for managing the uncertainty of change, their excellent preparations prior to the race, and for believing that Pirelli could produce a winning rally tire. From the positive feedback received during the testing sessions, to the open communication throughout the Dakar, it was clear that KTM and Pirelli were a committed team. Pirelli and KTM look forward to all the excellent racing results the partnership will bring as well as the strong and positive benefits which two sport-focused companies will inevitably find. RALLY won 7 of 14 stages, and gained a total of 1:52 hrs over the competition. These riders tackled 5,652 km of specials from Buenos Aires to Valparaíso and back again, during which they encountered a race environment unique to this new location, with notable places like Terra Del Fuego, the Andes Mountains and the Atacama Desert, said to be the world's driest desert. Dakar 2009's extreme diversity and newly charted territory was especially challenging for the teams, the riders and technicians to make the ideal setup (regarding tyres, compounds, mousse, tubes, etc.,) as the environment was completely foreign from previous African Dakar races. Notwithstanding the excellent performance of the top two riders, Marc Coma's teammate Jordi Viladoms (SPA), who is always a perfect example of fine team spirit and consistency, finished 7th out of 235 riders and even took home his own win in Stage 10. Pirelli rider Rodrigues Filho (BRA) of Team Honda Brazil rode near the front for the whole race behind the pack of large displacement bikes, putting his 450cc bike in the 12th spot for the Dakar overall, and 3rd amongst bikes in the 450cc class.
New compound delivers good grip and excellent durability, resulting in a tyre that works great in a wide variety of conditions.

11/2008 Display wurde überarbeitet und zudem werden jetzt alle mit Winkelventilen ausgeliefert. In den USA schon Pflicht - wird auch in der EU eifrig darüber diskutiert Ein Vorschlag der Europäischen Kommission sieht vor, dass Reifendruck-Überwachungssysteme für alle neuen Modelle ab 2012 und für alle Neuwagen ab 2014 Pflicht werden.
Das es beim Motorrad lebensgefährlich werden kann mit dem falschen Luftdruck zu fahren, sollte jeder mal für sich selber überlegen ob nicht 199,00 € in seine eigene Sicherheit investieren möchte !! Denn wer auf einem freien Autobahnstück den Gashahn mal richtig aufdrehen möchte, sollte sich absolut sicher sein dass er auch den richtigen Luftdruck in den Reifen hat, oder auf der Landstrasse beruhigt es ungemein zu wissen dass die Reifen die Betriebstemperatur erreicht haben, was großen EInfluss auf die Haftungsreserven des Reifens hat. Die Hersteller sollten auch ernsthaft mal darüber nachdenken, ob so was nich serienmäßig in ein Sport-Motorrad gehört. Muss uns den immer der Gesetztgeber erst eine Pflicht auferlegen ??
Weiterhin wird auch die aktuelle Ausentemperatur angezeigt. (+ Frostwarnung ab 3° ) Die Montage erfolgt sehr einfach, indem das bestehende Ventil durch ein neues inklusive Sender ersetzt wird. Der Sender im Reifen wiegt nur 26gr und die Batterie soll 5 Jahre lang halten, also wahrscheinlich länger wie der Reifen. Der Transmitter sendet in UHF Frequenz und sendet mit 434 Mhz. Das komplette System kostet 299,00 € und ist über myNETmoto zu beziehen. Es gibt zur Zeit drei unterschiedliche Kits. Hier die „Verwendungsliste der Motorräder“
Geomax Enduro - FIM approved Enduro tyre. With a carcass adapted for the specific usage requirements of Enduro bikes, the GEOMAX Enduro utilises larger gaps between knobs and a very different shape of block to increase traction in a straight line and when cornering.

Thanks to its winning experience in off-road with the Scorpion products since 1980 and its knowhow on road tyres, Pirelli is re-entering the enduro street segment with the new SCORPION TRAIL. To obtain a breakthrough product, Pirelli has selected this tyre with an intensive series of real condition tests. The main aim is to provide a multi-purpose tyre tested in the toughest conditions: in different temperature ranges from the North Cape of Africa to Dakar, on long distance runs - collecting and working out on road data from a 6,500 mile route, or in the extreme conditions of the African desert with a rally in Tunisia.
Product Identity
Product Anatomy: the tread design - The tread pattern has been designed with an entirely new concept: SCORPION TRAIL is the first product in the segment covering the entire tyre revolution with just 4 repetitions of the design. These 4 pitches allow a long stretched design. The tread pattern is distinctive and aggressive as direct result of the Pirelli experience in supersport tyres. The tread design is derived from an innovative and aesthetically pleasing combination of blocks typical of enduro and slick like areas of supersport tyres. Off-road appeal is the result of cuts on the shoulder, which guarantee traction and control even turning on dirt roads. Good drainage and aquaplaning behavior are ensured by geometry of the grooves, in particular the profile of rill (?) are in variable wide, “water jets”, which can handle also standing water. Using some of the winning elements of the World Champion Scorpion MX range, where knobs layout have a V shape to give traction and stability while braking, the SCORPION TRAIL adopts a V shaped foot print with the main edge working on lose soil to assure traction in all conditions while the two big blocks placed in the center ensure on-road high performance and stability.
Structure - To guarantee the maximum flexibility the SCORPION TRAIL comes in two different structures: · X-ply to provide a tyre able to support motorcycles with less power and more off-road attitude · Radial to support the power of modern Enduro touring bikesThe Enduro-Street segment was born during the 1980’s when BMW GS’s had started to win the most important African rallies, using resistant motorbikes with a 21” enduro tyre on front. A great step ahead comes with Ducati that, following the success of supermotard, at the beginning of 2000 has introduced the new Multistrada: a bike designed to handle the many turns and conditions of mountain passes. Partner to this revolution has been Pirelli providing the first on-road sporty fitment 120/70-17” and 180/55-17” with a uniquely aggressive tread: the Scorpion SYNC. SCORPION TRAIL is the new generation tyre able to answer the requirements of this progressive segment: handling and comfort, off-road raction, high speed stability, grip in all conditions. The front tyre, thanks to the 0° steel belt, does not present any stand up tendency giving to the rider full control and recision in curves even under critical situations. The disposition of steel belts all round the profile, thick on the shoulder and thin on the center, called “three zone scheme A-B-A”, provides straight line stability at high speed and maximum precision in curves. Thanks to the controlled distinctive deformation of the foot print area at high load the stability increases during braking. All the main benefit of the X-ply and radial structures are preserved in the mixed fitment: front conventional and rear radial are combined to obtain the maximum performance and are required on many important bikes such as the Honda TransAlp. Compound - Different compounds for different applications, differentiation of front and rear compounds, fillers and reinforcing elements tailored on different structures: this is the winning element to reach the ultimate performance. Different compounds have been tailored on tyre structure according to the typical usage of the bike fitted. Motorcycles fitting radial tyres are really powerful and heavy, especially when fully loaded with passenger and suitcases. In most instances, the full load rests on rear leaving the front unloaded. The front tyre compound is designed to solve this problem assuring more safety feeling and high speed stability. The rear compound is characterised by 70% of Silica to ensure good wet grip and fast warm -up assuring traction on cold and damp road surfaces and in a very wide range of weather conditions.
The conventional sizes of the SCORPION TRAIL have a twin -layer or four-ply diagonal carcass. This soft and stable construction is continuously proving its worth with enduro motorcycles, and guarantees excellent driving performance. The SCORPION TRAIL radial sets has a 0° belted radial structure both on rear and on front, related with a lightweight carcass to promote ease of handling and road holding at high speeds. The result is a stable tyre that distributes forces uniformly to the road, optimizing the contact patch in every condition.
