Buffalo,
NY—For years, Dunlop Motorcycle Tires has proudly served as the
exclusive supplier of OE tires for Cobra Motorcycles. Now that
relationship expands in a new direction as Cobra becomes the first
manufacturer to fit Dunlop’s new Geomax MX51 premium racing tire for
global distribution as Original Equipment on its CX50 model.
“We are very happy to work with Cobra Motorcycles as they lead the
industry in this new direction,” said Dunlop Motorcycle Vice President
Mike Buckley. “Dunlop Tires and Cobra Motorcycles are both
racing-driven, leading brands and it’s a natural fit to match these
race-ready mini bikes with the newest Dunlop Geomax MX51 tires. Dunlop
is an integral part of motorcycling at all levels including mini bike
racing, and we are excited to bring our latest technology to the Cobra
lineup. A number of our young Team Dunlop racers ride Cobra
motorcycles, so we enjoy strong ties with their grassroots racing
efforts.”
For more than 15 years, Cobra has produced premium race-ready mini
motocross bikes and steered many 50cc amateur riders to the top step of
the podium at local, state and national level motocross events.
