Avon motorcycle shows a first look at Avon’s new 3D Ultra Supersport tyres, part of a new range to be launched early in 2012.

Avon Tyres is celebrating its centenary of making motorcycle tyres this year. It is currently the only manufacturer of road-going motorcycle tyres based in the UK.  Over the last century, famous motorcycle racers such as Geoff Duke, John Surtees, Mike Hailwood and Barry Sheene have raced and won on Avon Tyres. The firm has won 13 Supersport and four Production class championships on two wheels as well as Isle of Man TT victories on both three and two wheels.

3D sipes
3D siping with interlocking three dimensional points to improve stability and grip, limit tread flex, and allow the tire to warm up quickly.

New Belting
A new design of wind-on-belt material used in the rears increases the footprint size at all lean angles, improving grip.

TE
Triple Extrusion tread compounds – durable rubber in the centre to aid mileage and softer compounds on the shoulders to aid grip. 3rd compound underneath binds both compounds and facilitates the tire to stay cooler which increases tire longevity.
