Cobra Motorcycles Selects Dunlop Geomax MX51
Buffalo, NY—For years, Dunlop Motorcycle Tires has proudly served as the exclusive supplier of OE tires for Cobra Motorcycles. Now that relationship expands in a new direction as Cobra becomes the first manufacturer to fit Dunlop’s new Geomax MX51 premium racing tire for global distribution as Original Equipment on its CX50 model.
"We are very happy to work with Cobra Motorcycles as they lead the industry in this new direction," said Dunlop Motorcycle Vice President Mike Buckley. "Dunlop Tires and Cobra Motorcycles are both racing-driven, leading brands and it’s a natural fit to match these race-ready mini bikes with the newest Dunlop Geomax MX51 tires. Dunlop is an integral part of motorcycling at all levels including mini bike racing, and we are excited to bring our latest technology to the Cobra lineup. A number of our young Team Dunlop racers ride Cobra motorcycles, so we enjoy strong ties with their grassroots racing efforts."
For more than 15 years, Cobra has produced premium race-ready mini motocross bikes and steered many 50cc amateur riders to the top step of the podium at local, state and national level motocross events.
