After a highly successful 2022 series,
Dunlop is set to take on the 2023 season of the Monster Energy AMA Supercross
Championship, increasing support and adding to their esteemed Dunlop
Family. Dunlop, as the longest running sponsor of Monster Energy
Supercross, will continue to be the "Official Motorcycle Tire" with
trackside support available to all racers for tire fitting and technical
assistance.
Last year, for the 13th
consecutive season, Dunlop riders swept all three Supercross championships
including all 102 available podium opportunities throughout the 17 rounds. This
brings Dunlop’s unparalleled total to 173 AMA SX and MX Championships, an
accomplishment far and above any other tire manufacturer. Overall, in the
premier 450SX class, Dunlop riders finished in the top 14 positions, and 19 of
the top 20, once again confirming the Dunlop Domination.
Dunlop is proud to continue their
support and relationships with all their top teams from 2022 and pleased to add
the Muc-Off/FXR/ClubMX, Firepower Froth Honda Racing and BarX Suzuki teams to
the Dunlop Family for 2023!

“Having raced on Dunlop’s for as
long as I can remember, a big advantage to staying with the brand is the
predictable performance of the Dunlop tire throughout the race. Having
consistent feel and traction gives me the confidence to push my limits on the
track,” says 2020 and 2022 Monster Energy AMA Supercross Champion, Eli Tomac.
Team Dunlop Elite alumni, Carson
Mumford, added, “I’m so pumped to be back with my Team D family. Running Dunlop’s
will definitely help me and my BarX Suzuki teammates go to the next level in
2023.”
With this support, of the AMA Pro
riders earning top 100 racing numbers in 2023, the first 46 race on Dunlop’s,
and over 80% of those top 100-numbered riders will be on Dunlop tires! Dunlop
continues to use these top professional Supercross and Motocross racers to push
the tires to the absolute limit to help develop new technologies utilized in
Geomax tires.
“Having all these teams and riders
choose to race on Dunlop tires shows our dedication to the sport, our product
development and support is at the highest level!” said Mike Buckley, Dunlop
Motorcycle’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Without the leadership and
hard work of our professional racing management directed by Broc Glover and
Brian Fleck, none of this would be possible. Supercross riders have a choice in
tires, and we want to thank all of the teams and riders who choose to race on
Dunlop tires in 2023.”
