Dunlop Motorcycle Tires continues its partnership with American Flat Track (AFT) for the ninth consecutive year with the Team Dunlop Elite Flat Track program. The 2025 initiative supports emerging amateur racers and grows its reach to include more minibike competitors, fostering the next generation of professional riders.
Dunlop has a long-standing history of supporting amateur motocross racing through Team Dunlop, a program established 19 years ago. This initiative has helped numerous riders climb the ranks to professional success, with alumni such as Eli Tomac and Justin Barcia significantly impacting the sport. The flat track extension of this program is proving to be just as effective, with many young riders now making their way into the pro ranks.
The program has become a cornerstone for young racers, providing exclusive benefits and tire support to help them transition to the pro circuit. For the 2025 season, Cruise Texter joins the Team Dunlop Elite Flat Track roster as a development rider for Dunlop and one of the sport’s top minibike racers, competing with the Dunlop KR345 mini bike tires. Texter is also a member of the Team Dunlop Road Race Elite program
Returning for another season on the Flat Track program are riders Adam Costan, Colton Shafer, Braxton Ragan, Jack Brucks, Meg Greimel, Jackson Joiner, and Sam Drane. Among them, Joiner is set to test and validate the performance of the 17” DT4 tire.
With a refined program, a growing roster of talent, and a commitment to innovation, Team Dunlop Elite Flat Track continues to shape the future of American Flat Track racing.
