I won't be surprised if the rear tire dominates XC racing.

MX34 front AT82 rear for literally any track. I've heard good about the AT82 front too, but haven't tried it yet. I like the look of the MX54 rear, but the 52 and 53 were not very good IMO.

No, the Factory Spec is actually becoming more widely available at all dealers, not just KTM/Husky/Gas dealers. Should be hitting dealers mid July.

I’m just fitted the AT82’s front and rear. 
Only had one ride on them atm but I’m happy with them. 
Ran the MX34 and AT 81 before which was a great combo.

The Factory Specs have been available to Dunlop dealers since early this year.  At least Pro Dealers, anyway.  Not sure if they've opened them to everyone yet.

I will occasionally run the AT81EX when I need a gummy style tire, but I don't like the lean angle traction on it as much  as I do on the AT82. I love how Dunlops wear too. If you weren't picky, you could get mega hours out of a set of tires.

Heard nothing but praise for the Pirelli Scorpion MX32 2025 mid soft tyre.

The tyre dunlop copied.

Strange thing with the Dunlop is the riders like it on backwards so you have to wonder is it that good really.

Yes, it really was "that good" I'd rate it 9 out 10 and the 756 reg was like 6.5-7. The 756 RR would stick like glue to hard packed off camber recently watered surface. Total confidence!!

Cool, I’d be happy to give up some drive in the soft stuff for a tire that works better on the sketchy/skatey spots

Just came off the track..

First impression is, its pretty good. I can definitely tell its stiffer. This track has some knarly dry hard slippery stuff and i definitely feel it hooking up better. They dont do a great job watering here, so in some spots its shiney from being wet. Im not sure anything will hook up great on that. There's a few loamy turns and it seems to hook up well when railing out of the corner. So far the only thing i notice is it doesnt like wet hard packed. I do think my 34 is a little more plush feeling.

Front tire reviews? The standard industry hack reviews are comical, these guys would say anything for some free tires👌

Dunlops seem to have stiff sidewalls. I recently rode with a Bridgestone X31 rear and it was like I had a major rear suspension upgrade. Did you have sharp acceleration bumps to see how this MX54 felt?

I am wondering if this tire would be a good compliment to have along with the MX14.

I think it was extremely versatile but not "great" in a specific environment.

We talking Front or rear? I like the 34 rear, no issues for me in the northeast & florida…not keen on 34 front outside of sand….
