Dunlop Geomax MX32 vs. MX52 Tire Comparison | Motorcycle Superstore

The Geomax MX32 (soft-intermediate terrain) and Geomax MX52 (intermediate-hard terrain) tires are the newest motocross tires from Dunlop. The American-made tires were developed in Supercross and motocross competition with riders like Ryan Villopoto. These dirt bike tires have some radical improvements over the previously offered Geomax MX31 (soft terrain), Geomax MX51 (intermediate terrain) and Geomax MX71 (hard terrain). Dunlop has developed them to be more flexible, have responsive sidewalls, and get more traction with their new block-in-block technology. These effectively make the ride more comfortable, and give the rider more confidence with easier steering. Since these tires have been winning at the top level of SX and MX racing, they are obviously effective on the track. The MX32 front and rear combination will cover a wider range of dirt conditions for soft to intermediate surfaces. The MX52 can do the job for anything ranging from a deeply tilled morning practice to late-afternoon blue-groove.

I ran my 52's front and back for the first time last weekend at the track. They hooked up great on my 450. The track has some hard spots, but also a lot of soft terrain and ruts. I think I like them better than my old 51's. Nice tire.

[@mbs2001]

i m here in 2019 anyone else?

[@xburtonboardnx]

FYI for anyone watching this video in 2016 or later, they make the MX52 in an 18" rear now.

my boy is riding an RM85 with the 52 on our ranch in Idaho. from the moment we put this tire on the bikes capability doubled I'm so impressed with its overall performance and durability over every possible terrain scenario I will be equipping this tire on the rear of my 87 CR500r

[@motorcyclesuperstore]

The 52s work great on all bikes! Although a 500 is hell on knobbies!

[@imperialfragments]

+Motorcycle Superstore do you think this tire would grind down quick on the 500? what tire would you recommend for all terrain and long tread life?

[@robertsanchez1767]

imperialfragments i have a yz85 planning on getting a geomax mx52 in front and a kenda trakmaster 2 in the rear

[@65elcamino283]

the mx52 front tire is also great. i run that on both my bikes. tons of grip and long wear life

[@KSI_Revelations]

Great tires. i have them on my new 2017 YZ 250. my only problem is my rear tire seems to be wearing really, really fast and i only have 11 hrs on the bike.

[@janvanwykvanwyk7927]

How do they handle rainy weather on tar roads

[@saucyscrewdriver4008]

Yeah but which one lasts longer on roads

[@christophervillarreal8565]

wheres the yellow lettering!?

[@bradykice8759]

I ride on trails then soft muddy ground and country roads and sometimes blacktop

[@owenlandry4647]

And thnx man I appreciate it

[@Jettro2000]

i ride desert sand, rocks, exc what sounds like a good tire for me

[@diegohip08]

I got mx52. And it hook good like 4 rides still holding nyce Terrain rock sand mud whatever come

[@owenlandry4647]

I ride on trails thru woods and a little bit of sand at sand pits in ma

[@motorcyclesuperstore]

An intermediate-terrain tire sounds like the best bet. They're usually a good starting point and if you realize it could improve in certain areas then you can get a more appropriate tire the next time you purchase. If you're in the sand pits a lot or if your trails are sandy, a soft-terrain or soft/intermediate would be good to try as well. If you are specifically interested in the Dunlops on this video, that would be the MX32. I still have no problem recommending the Pirelli. I'm a trail rider also and have had it on my YZ125 for eight months including at least 12-15 day rides and three 90-minute Grand Prix races. It lasts forever. Love, love, love it. - jc

[@Denissov.med1a]

i ve got today mx 32 :)

[@worbradar]

I've never had a tire wear out so fast iv got 52's on my yzf 450 my cousin has CRF 450 with 50's as well and he said the exact same thing never had a tyre wear out so fast

[@christophervillarreal8565]

worb radar 33s are worse

[@hondacr250cfh]

I still have my d756 on my cr

[@Jack-kv5hj]

i ride a kx85 and I'm trying to decide on a tyre, i ride at tracks but there's no saying if its gonna be hard packed muddy or soft or anything really as im from the uk and the conditions change every 5 mins,i also don't really ride at one track and go to a whole range of tracks,it also needs to be as durable as possible even as I'm literally broke and have to buy all my mx stuff myself and I'm 12 so its kinda hard.thx

[@travisjodoin8908]

buschyboy hard pack will last longer. Only real difference is 're lug spacing. I drive through a really good variety of stuff from gravel to sand to pavement to mud to going through rivers. I just ordered the mx52. Curious to see how they preform in the softer stuff with the tighter lugs. I would recommend the michelin starcross mx3's. I just had those on last 2 seasons and they worked awesome the first season but they were pretty wore out the second.

[@owenlandry4647]

I have xr100r and u do trail riding what tire do u recommend

[@motorcyclesuperstore]

Without knowing a few more details about your riding area it's tough to say, but for all-around trail riding I recommend the Pirelli MX Extra X to almost everyone. It's called the MX Extra J for smaller sizes like your XR100, but it's a phenomenal value tire. Here's a link if you want to check it out - www.motorcycle-superstore.com/43510/i/pirelli-mx-extra-j-rear-tire - jc

[@XxProGamersxX100]

i ride a yz85 wheel size is 90/100-14 and i want a tire that goes through soft to mid terrain and last long. my pirelli's i have tore on the knobs after a few rides and need a durable tire, whats your thoughts?

[@motorcyclesuperstore]

XxProGamersxX100 What model Pirelli are you using? I put the MX Extra X on my YZ125 and it has lasted phenomenally well - at least 12 hours with minimal wear and no chunking. If you are looking at these new Dunlops, the MX32 is the way to go for soft-mid. I can't say that I have any riding experience on these, however. - jc

[@XxProGamersxX100]

i was using the the dunlop 752's i didnt mean to say pirelli's. but what would your choice be? Are there better tires than these for an 85? Or should i go ahead and get the mx32's?

[@motorcyclesuperstore]

XxProGamersxX100 Sorry to fall off the wagon there, didn't mean to leave you hanging like that. The MX32 is going to be a great option. It would be great to hear back from you after you ride it. I'm sure our other 80cc riders are curious to know how well they last. Even if you didn't choose the Dunlop, let me know which tire you went with. Sorry again about the lengthy delay - jc

[@XxProGamersxX100]

i did buy a mx32 and it works great, long tread life

[@OKMX5]

Bad decision to not make them in 18".

[@robertsanchez1767]

I ride try loose rocks trails its ganna get a little wetter soon and im prob ganna ride a little track.

[@robertsanchez1767]

Wich tire should i get from the mx32 and mx52?

[@motorcyclesuperstore]

I would recommend the MX52. The MX32 will be too soft for rocks so you won't be able to enjoy the full life of the tire. -Kaitlyn

[@robertsanchez1767]

Motorcycle Superstore i just ordered the mx32 yesterday😂 its fine because im probably going to ride track more and also im still beginning to ride so im not that fast i asked a lot of friends one is sponsored by dunlop and he said how i ride its basically the same thing

[@KTMsoldier1988]

Now what am I suppossed to run on my 300 xc you don't make the 51 anymore and you don't sell the 32 in 18 inch.... your gonna take a hit in sales

[@motorcyclesuperstore]

Dunlop is pushing hard on the Geomax AT81 for all off-road use. www.motorcycle-superstore.com/61442/i/dunlop-geomax-at81-rear-tire - jc

[@RChero1010]

KTMsoldier1988 Thats what I said. Then I ordered a set for my KLX 125L. 19 front, 16 rear... They have a bunch of sizes on their website.

[@jasongray1998]

Okay so im doing a beach race in the next couple months so i'm trying to decide between the MX32 and MX52 as i don't want to buy a sand tyre due to it only being one event. Also most the tracks around me are intermediate to hard. What do you think i should get? Thanks

[@motorcyclesuperstore]

***** I'm not the type to buy a tire for a one-off event either. Don't got the funds! If the beach race isn't for a couple months then I'd suggest the MX32. It'll definitely work better for that event and by that time of the year you'll probably be getting some rain so your local tracks will be a little softer hopefully. That's my suggestion. MX32 for the win. - jc

[@jasongray1998]

Okay great! Neither do i have the money to keep buying different things! I think I've made my decision :) Cheers Jason

[@KTMsoldier1988]

I would buy the32 in a heart beat if they sold it in 18"

[@motorcyclesuperstore]

I think there are a lot of people out there who feel the same! I know a few of them myself. Bums me out that Dunlop hasn't added the 18" yet. - jc

[@quitshifts]

That was not a comparison at all

[@gettingpast4391]

no 18" bahhhh PASS
