Dunlop Introduces Geomax EN92 Through The Fighting Spirit of Hiu Selatan
CILACAP, July 9, 2026 – DUNLOP Indonesia officially introduced its latest enduro tire, the DUNLOP GEOMAX EN92, at Hiu Selatan International Hard Enduro 8, one of Indonesia's most prestigious enduro competitions, held on July 3–5, 2026, in Cilacap, Central Java. Beyond serving as a supporting partner of the event, DUNLOP also introduced the GEOMAX EN92 to hundreds of local and international riders during the technical meeting on July 2, 2026, while supporting racers' performance by providing tires for the Gold and Silver Class podiums, offering support for both domestic and international riders, and hosting various interactive activities throughout the event.
Behind the punishing terrain of rocky trails, massive log obstacles, extreme climbs, countless barriers, and tree roots that define hard enduro lies a story of perseverance — of racers who continue to push the limits of their abilities. One of them is Farel Huda Hanafi, a professional racer from Team JAVAMIX, who delivered an outstanding performance by claiming first place in both the Prologue Hiu Gold Class and the Enduro Race Hiu Gold Class, second place in the Long Race Gold Class, and third place in the Hill Climb Gold Class — all on the DUNLOP GEOMAX EN92.
For Farel, these achievements are about more than just standing on the podium. Behind every victory lies a long journey of physical and mental preparation — maintaining consistency, recovering from injuries, and continuously adapting to track characteristics that differ in every competition. Each challenge becomes part of his process of constant growth.
At this year's Hiu Selatan event, Farel experienced the performance of the GEOMAX EN92 firsthand across a wide range of track conditions. According to him, the tire's soft compound character delivers superior, optimal grip that performs well on both rocky terrain and loose soil. Its consistent grip keeps the bike stable when entering corners, conquering climbs, and navigating slippery sections — the ultimate challenges of hard enduro.
These advantages are backed by a range of cutting-edge technologies featured in the DUNLOP GEOMAX EN92. Progressive Cornering Block Technology (PCBT) delivers more consistent grip through corners, enhancing control and rider confidence. Rounded Sidewall Technology helps the tire absorb impacts from rocks, tree roots, and uneven surfaces while maintaining contact with the ground. Reinforced Scoop Technology (RST) improves traction on soft surfaces such as sand, mud, and loose soil, while V-Block Technology (V-BT) optimizes power delivery to the surface, producing better traction and stability under acceleration. Together, these technologies are engineered to deliver consistent performance across every type of enduro terrain.
Beyond Farel Huda Hanafi, confidence in the GEOMAX EN92's performance also comes from Team JAVAMIX, which has tested the tire across several previous competition seasons. According to the team, the GEOMAX EN92 delivers excellent traction on rocky trails, gravel, and slippery terrain, with performance that rivals the imported tires long favored in enduro racing. This experience has further strengthened Team JAVAMIX's commitment to continue using the GEOMAX EN92 in upcoming competitions.
As one of the largest hard enduro events in Indonesia, Hiu Selatan Hard Enduro 2026 successfully drew more than 7,000 participants and attracted 27 international racers from 18 countries. This enthusiasm further cements Hiu Selatan's position as one of the most prestigious enduro events, serving as a magnet for both national and international enduro communities.
For DUNLOP, its involvement in Hiu Selatan goes beyond being part of a competition — it represents a commitment to supporting the growth of enduro sport in Indonesia while delivering products that answer the needs of riders, both professional and beginner.
"For DUNLOP, Hiu Selatan Hard Enduro is more than just a competition — it is a moment to connect directly with the enduro community and introduce our latest innovation. Through the GEOMAX EN92, we aim to deliver a tire that provides optimal performance while becoming a reliable choice for riders in Indonesia and around the world," said Soichi Nagao, Sales & Marketing Director of PT Sumi Rubber Indonesia.
Through its participation in Hiu Selatan Hard Enduro 2026, DUNLOP hopes the GEOMAX EN92 will become increasingly recognized as an enduro tire of choice, capable of delivering optimal performance across all track conditions. Moving forward, DUNLOP will continue to support various motorsport activities and off-road communities as part of the company's commitment to delivering innovations that are relevant to riders' needs.
