Avon Trail Rider AV54 120/80-18 62S M+S
If you’re an Adventure-bike rider but you do most of your riding on the tarmac, the Trailrider is a great option.
Here’s what Motorcycle Sport & Leisure magazine have to say about the Avon Trailrider:
“Avon says it took two full years to develop the new TrailRider tyre, and it’s specifically designed for the Adventure bike rider who’s most likely to be riding on the road. That means high mileage, good grip, stability and impeccable performance under heavy loads.”
Avon says:
Using technology from the other rubber in its range, the TrailRider uses an Advanced Variable Belt construction to control sidewall flex. The tyres have are silica-rich, promised to enhance wet grip, while the rear is a multi-compound construction (softer on the edge, harder on the centre) to extend the tyre’s life when riding in a straight line.
Sipes in the radial TrailRiders are small cuts that create extra grooves, improving water-displacement and controlling the tyre’s temperature. Avon’s 3D sipes have interlocking points inside that are designed to limit tread flex, but still allow the rubber to warm up quickly; when upright, they’re open, but lean the tyre over and the sipes’ ‘teeth’ cut into the pattern, effectively closing up to increase the level of grip when leant right over.
It’s claimed to be designed for 90% road use, and 10% off-road use – with the high level of silica and ‘Enhanced Aqua Flow’ tread pattern, this is clearly a tyre designed primarily to get you through all weathers on most European roads. So ask yourself… what riding do you really do?
