DUNLOP
Motorcyclists the world over recognize the name Dunlop — and for good reason.
Since 1920, and to this day, Dunlop proudly manufactures motorcycle tires in his Buffalo NY facility.
As Moto Trails USA riders crave the adventure, brave the elements and demand quality, we have chosen the new adventure tire TRAILMAX RAID.
Trailmax Raid delivers strong performance both off-road and on-road. It provides excellent off-road traction and cornering grip, outstanding wet grip, good chipping resistance, balanced handling, and road-tire stability and performance.
Aggressive tread pattern derived from the popular D908RR has been optimized to reduce rolling noise and provide improved road performance without sacrificing off-road performance.

The roots of the 100% brand date back to the early 1980’s when the popular logo graced the factory racing equipment of the biggest names in motocross.
For over 40 years, the legendary Californian brand has been at the forefront of off-road racing with its innovative, modern and ultra-protective goggles.
With 100%, Moto Trail USA riders can ride in safety and style!

MOSKO MOTO
Since 2013, Mosko Moto builds products to accompany riders through the roughest terrain and craziest places they’ve ever want to ride. It’s tough-as-nails and built to take a beating, and Mosko Moto stands behind it with a lifetime guarantee. They want you to ride harder, travel further, go deeper, whether riding the dirt close to home or exploring some far-flung region of the globe.
We’ve chosen to equip our Yamaha 700 Ténéré with the RECKLESS system, featuring two waterproof pockets without a rack to save weight.
This allows each rider to travel light (a water pocket on the back is enough) and always have rain gear, a few snacks and personal items to hand. Deserts, rivers, storms, snow: everything stays dry and dust-free: thank you Mosko Moto!

TRAIL TECH
Trail Tech, a subsidiary of POLARIS Inc. is a specialist in digital instrumentation.
Moto Trails USA chose to use the VOYAGER PRO GPS, a robust, ergonomic device with a very interesting function: buddy tracking, which enables the group’s riders and the support rider to be positioned offline.
Easy to use, packed with interesting information, with a large display and highly accurate, up-to-date customs maps, it’s the ultimate off-road GPS.
ZOLEO
Safety is a fundamental value for the Moto Trails USA teams.
You can’t ride across the desert or up steep mountains without being able to communicate and raise the alarm in the event of a crash.
Often, in the American backcountry, the cell phone network is inactive.
A simple breakdown becomes a real headache, and survival sometimes depends on a simple emergency call.
With ZOLEO equipment, riders are always reachable by text: they can receive up-to-date information on the course or contact the organization at any time.
The beacons are permanently marked out by Irium sat network, so that the support rider knows where his riders are at all times.
