3 >> Introducing the most technologically advanced off-road tires Dunlop has ever made. Say hello to the MX33

After years of feedback, development and research Dunlop is proud to present the new industry standard: The Geomax MX33. More performance,. more durability.

5 After years of feedback, development and research Dunlop is proud to present the new industry standard: The Geomax MX33. More performance,. more durability. The Geomax line has been the top tire chosen by AMA pro Motocross and Supercross riders. The MX33 introduces updated technologies including a new compound and new tread pattern. This new tire has extraordinary handling performance even on transitional terrain. Riders can use the MX33 on soft to intermediate terrain with the confidence of excellent handling and pristine performance. The MX33 is available for a wide array of bikes from 50cc to 450cc and includes a new 120/90-19 size. >>

6 MULTIPLE BLOCK DISTRIBUTION Helping to contribute to the aggressive look of the MX33 is a change to the distribution of knobs on both the shoulder and the interior of the front and rear tires. This new feature, Multiple Block Distribution, not only increases the number of knobs, but also varies the height and angles within the placement. This translates to more corners to dig into the dirt, creating superior grip and increased handling performance.

8 BLOCK-IN-A-BLOCK TECHNOLOGY After the great success of the Dunlop patented Block-In-A-Block Technology on the MX3S rear tire, Dunlop has improved this technology by altering the shape of the interior block. This new interior diamond block is larger, adding more surface area and 2 additional angles to dig into the dirt, creating improved traction. Dunlop has also added Block-In-A-Block Technology to the front tire for the first time, creating a new industry standard.

10 ADVANCED APEX DESIGN Not only does the Geomax MX33 look remarkably different than its predecessor, but the MX33 also has many new components under the tread. The new construction of the front and rear tire features a taller, thinner apex. Known as the Advanced Apex Design, the same material used in the MX3S is now distributed in a slimmer, but taller apex. Without adding weight, Dunlop has kept the same superior shock absorption but allows for uniform rigidity in the sidewall, resulting in a smoother ride and a firmer feel. *applies to 18, 19 and 21 big bike sizes. CARCASS TENSION CONTROL SYSTEM In this new design, Dunlop optimizes the distribution of tension of the components so the tire absorbs more shock, but flexes when necessary to smooth out ride characteristics, which allows the bike to track in a straighter line.

12 ALL NEW COMPOUND The MX33 also incorporates a new rubber compound with a higher molecular weight polymer to improve durability and a carbon micro-particle to increase grip. At Dunlop, we pride ourselves on listening to our customers, and not just the pro-level SX riders, but the everyday riders as well. One of the main areas we wanted to improve upon from the MX3S was durability. A change in compound, and the addition of the tie-bar design between the knobs, allowed us to not only achieve this goal but also improve performance. Broc Glover: Sr. Manager Off-road Motorcycle

13 We have found that the pro riders are not using as many front tires during testing since the MX33 lasts so much longer. Brian Fleck: Manager Technical Support

DEVELOPING A NEW GENERATION OF DUNLOP TIRES In addition to the ongoing development process in AMA Pro racing, the MX33 was developed concurrently at the Dunlop Proving Grounds in Huntsville, Alabama.

15 Proper grip characteristics are key: too much bite doesn t allow you to slide or brake slide as needed; too little traction doesn t return enough control when you want the bike to slide in a predictable manner. The goal was to create a well-adjusted amount of traction, absorbability, handling and slide control without compromising on durability. We were able to do that with the MX33.
