Avon Tyres has just launched the new Trailrider to it’s line-up of adventure touring motorcycle range.
The tyre maker says it applied the very latest know-how in terms of casing construction, compound characteristics and tread pattern development to create a tyre it says blends the all-season road capabilities of the critically-acclaimed Storm 3D X-M sport touring tyre with a rugged, off road-styled tread pattern.
Avon engineers and test riders focused on stability, wet grip and mileage on a wide range of large-capacity dual-sport machines. The result, says Avon, is a design that offers improved capability over the outgoing Distanzia tyre. It’s also a tyre developed in Britain, on British roads, in British weather – so it promises the ultimate in performance for UK riders, the manufacturer adds.
“We’ve designed the Trailrider carcass construction to deliver improved grip and handling,” Avon motorcycle design engineer, Ashley Vowles said.
“Our chemists have come up with a new super-rich silica compound, using the latest compounding technology to enhance wet grip without affecting mileage,” Vowles added.
