Keefer podcast about it is out. He seems to like it a lot better than the MX33 and generally better than the MX3s.

Looks like a rehashed 752. Imagine that.

We have seen many Pro using this at rear but havent really notice anyone using at front yet.

Front wasn’t introduced until earlier this season, where the rear was introduced early in 2022.

It has been in the pit bits. I have noticed the mx3s, mx33, and mx34 front patterns on the pro bike pics all year. Rears have almost always been mx34 pattern in the pics.

I noticed the front on Wilson’s bike at Houston and Phoenix, I asked but they wouldn’t say what it was… cool to finally know. Hope this is better than the 3s front and 33 rear!!!

Will this one also start to vacate itself of knobs within the first 5-6 hours of ride time?  I hope Dunlop stays true to their reputation Tongue

Rear looks like a MX33 and MX14 blend. Loam/sand tire I'd guess. Still like the Pirelli MX32s best but I'll try these at some point.

Have you had this issue on the MX33 or just the MX3s?

I ran the MX33s on my 85 and I have them on my 125 currently and ride a variety of tracks and have never had them break

I've had that issue, and seen it on others, with every Dunlop I've ran the last 5-6 years.  Mostly MX33 but to be fair after the 3rd or 4th tire did the same thing I quit buying them.

Michelin and Mitas both make far superior tires in my opinion and experience, they just aren't "cool" to the MX crowd so you don't see them that much.

Michelin Enduro Medium is the best all around tire made and 99% of people would be happy with it everywhere they rode but they can't get over the fact it has short Euro knobs.

Great observation! Loved the 752!

Maybe next year we can get a 490/695 revolutionary product release.

Since they came on my new 22 SXF450 18 months ago I have stayed with them, from Bridgestone and/or Michelin Starcross 5's.

For the dirt I ride in they are unreal and last really well. In fact, I change them out when I can "feel" the carcass go soft long before the knobs even crack. MId soft to blue groove clay.

I have. With multiple Dunlops in fact....and I am not alone. Believe it or not, the fronts shed the side knobs quicker than the rears.

Running 14.5 PSI seems to help keep them together longer. I used to run them around 12PSI or so.

I have heard it was a major issue on the 3s but the 33 seemed to have solved it at the cost of worse carcass feel and less lean angle traction.

Maybe why old is new again. Just a thought. I was never a fan of the mx32/3s.

Still one of my top 3 favorite tires I ever ran. Wish they never stopped those

Beat me to it 😂

If the fronts are still grabby then might have to try.

The 33s on my CRF are the first tire where the sidewalls are starting to get “ehh” compared to the center, especially up front.

 

I hate the 33 upfront on anything glancing at hard pack tbh. I hate how much of a priss I am on front end feel.

How does a person get tires for a good price? I used to regularly get tires at ridiculous discounts from my dealer but I don't have that network where I live now. Does everyone just use rocky mtn/motosport? Just wondering if there's a better way. I need a new rear.

When are these hitting dealers? Going to have to give these a try. Have been running Hoosiers and I love them but they’ve raised their shipping prices on multiple tires and I don’t think I can stomach it. Mx33 fronts are unusable in my opinion so I hope these are better. I have an mx33 on the rear right now and it’s ok but after running the Hoosiers I feel like the carcass is too stiff still. Just want to be able to go to the local dealer and come home with a tire that doesn’t feel like it’s made of plastic.

Mine is supposed to get here tomorrow from mxtire.com. Rocky Mountain has them listed now also.
