About us

Why Goldentyre

From Bologna bicycle rubber to Extreme motorcycle DNA — Goldentyre is a specialist tyre house built for riders who leave the asphalt behind. Race-bred know-how shapes every product family — Motocross, Enduro, Adventure, Rally and mousse — and a worldwide distributor network puts the same line-up in riders' hands from the paddock to the trail.

This is the brand behind the rubber: heritage, Extreme DNA, R&D and a simple rule — the tyre that wins is the tyre you can buy.

01 · Heritage

Since 1978

Goldentyre was founded in 1978 in Bologna, Italy, initially as a producer of bicycle tyres. For many years that remained the core of the business, until the early 2000s, when growing demand for serious off-road motorcycle rubber drove an expansion into Motocross, Enduro, Adventure and Rally.

The brand built its reputation on durable, high-performance tyres suited to the demands of off-road riding. Continuous research and development — and a sharper focus on motorcycle product quality from 2008 onward — established Goldentyre as a dedicated manufacturer for riders who spend their time beyond the tarmac.

Marco Caribotti

Marco Caribotti joined Goldentyre in 2008 as test rider and production manager. In 2014 the company faced a financial crisis; in 2015 he acquired it and reshaped the business around research, development and a clear commitment to high-quality off-road tyres — sharpening the focus on Extreme, X-Products and mousse.

A former professional racer, he keeps product decisions close to the track and the trail. That same rider-led discipline still guides how Goldentyre develops rubber for mud, sand, heat and long days in the saddle.

03 · R&D

UK · Dubai · radial

In 2017 Goldentyre moved its headquarters to the United Kingdom and opened an R&D department in Dubai to support product development and the international distributor network. In 2018 a dedicated radial department and factory opened — designed around modern production processes for high-quality radial motorcycle tyres.

Technological product development sits at the centre of the brief: compounds, carcass construction and tread patterns engineered to survive mud, sand, heat and the long days riders ask of them.

04 · Product development

Same tyre. Same win.

Technological product development is central to Goldentyre. Competition-level performance is not reserved for a works garage — it is built into the tyres every rider can buy.

We do not produce special race-only or works-only tyres. If a rider wins on Goldentyre, they win on a tyre available through the distributor network: the same product on the podium and in the hands of riders everywhere. Product families span Motocross, Enduro, Adventure / ADV, Rally, Mousse, MiniCross and Extreme — each line tuned for how you ride.
