10 MILLION REASONS TO RIDE.
----------
A legendary bike needs legendary tyres. And when it comes to Harley-Davidson there’s only ever one thing between you and the road – your Dunlop tyres. So far, 10 million of them. We’ve been supplying original equipment tyres to Harley-Davidson since 1983, working together to develop tyres that not only meet or surpass their demanding performance standards, but are always the perfect fit for an icon. Our partnership is set to run and run.
TYRES TO PERFECT YOUR RIDE.
----------
Every tyre we design with that distinctive Harley-Davidson branding has one goal. To push the boundaries of what’s possible for your ride. From looks and styling to performance and handling, you can see, feel and experience the Dunlop difference in every tyre that comes off the production line.
TECHNOLOGY TO TAKE YOU FURTHER.
----------
Our history of success in global Endurance and GP championship racing is not only thrilling to watch it also helps us develop pioneering technologies we can pass onto your riding. For example, our Multi-tread (MT) technology, with its long-wearing centre and innovative lateral grip compounds for better traction at high lean angles. We’re always looking for new ways to give you more grip, confidence and joy. It’s the Dunlop quest.
