become a favorite among professional racers in AMA Supercross and
Motocross competition.

“We are especially pleased that KTM
has entered into this new working relationship with Dunlop,” said

Burleson is equally excited about the new partnership. He stated, “As
KTM continues to focus on the development of our core motocross and
