Anthony: Hey, this Anthony, with RevZilla TV, where you can watch, decide and ride.
Welcome to our Avon Tire Guide and Brand Overview at RevZilla.com.
So, in this video, I'm going to walk through the five main styles of Avon tire.
We're going to talk about the application, hopefully give you a starting point, if you're
starting your tire search, of what you could immediately home in on, to begin to further
educate yourself, and find the right tire, within the Avon family.
Depending on the riding style, your budget, the application, hopefully you can jump right
in then and start to walk through different individual product review videos, for the
different styles of tires.
So you can learn a little bit more about them.
So really, five key styles.
The first I'm going to start with, on my right, these are my sport tires.
There's a few different families here.
The first is a Storm 2 Ultra.
The Storm 2 Ultra is an all-season, high performance tire for sport and sport touring applications,
in your common sport bike rim sizes.
So, it's a mixture of mileage, performance, and wet grip, built here, into the Storm 2.
This is a more recent addition to the line, and it's one of the more popular tires, for
those of you that don't want to go to the track.
Moving into the 3D Ultra Series, here's where we have our family of really three tires,
that are 3D Ultra.
And 3D Ultra really speaks to this new 3D siping technology, that you see on the tire.
It's technology that adds grip, heat distribution and stability to the carcass, and you have
three tires within that line.
You have the 3D Ultra Sport, which is your 90/10 street to track tire.
The 50/50, which is the 3D Ultra Super Sport, and the 3D Ultra Extreme, which is a full
on, track day tire, with the least amount of tread, using multiple compounds and single
compound tires.
Full video breakdown on all three of those, check it out.
But that's going to be your aggressive, high performance, track day tire from Avon, is
that 3D Ultra family of tire.
Moving into some of our other types of tires.
The first up, for the cruiser family, we have the Venom Tire, as well as the Cobra Tire.
And the Venom comes into, even that Venom-R, which you've seen on some of those bikes,
we joke it's a kickstand eliminator, 333 in the width.
Some of those monster cruiser, rear tires you see, are the Venom.
It's an upgraded cruiser for heavy bikes.
Think Valkyrie, VTX, Goldwing.
Some of the bigger, cruiser, V-Twin, or metric cruiser bikes.
And again, you're getting upgraded performance in handling, in grip and longevity, out of
the Avon Venom and Cobra series of tires.
Moving down from there, and remember, we have videos on all of these.
You see your Roadrider.
Your Roadrider is a vintage classic tire, that comes in 33 different sizes.
One of the key components, besides the fact that, I believe, it's available on radial
and bias, is that you also have the ability to have good performance with using newer
technologies, but keep your vintage and classic look.
There's also the AM26 TT version, this tire, which is the race inspired version, with speed
ratings up to V. So again, classic vintage tire, with high speed ratings.
It will work really well, in a myriad of different sizes.
And then last up in the Avon family, besides the dirt tires that they do, you have the
Distanzia.
And really this is part of the dual sport family.
This is the more popular dual sport tire.
This is for big bikes, think 1000cc, 17 and 18 inch rim sizes.
This is a 90/10 tire.
The nice chevron pattern gives you better wear, better grip in the corners, but it will
also allow you to move a good amount of soil, without squaring it off in the longer term.
Think big bike, 1000cc, your GS's, your KTM 990 Adventures, your 1000cc V-Stroms.
Now, if you're moving down to that 600 Class, if you're a KLR or you're a V-Strom guy, look
at the Gripster from Avon, which is going to be your smaller bike dual sport tire.
Now remember, as I said a couple times in this video, we have videos specifically on
all these different families, and specific tires.
You're going to want to look at those.
We talk about prices.
We talk about rim sizes.
We talk further about the nuances in the technology and the wear patterns of these tires.
But really in this video, we wanted to give you enough to immediately, if you're a cruiser
guy, you're going to narrow the other four, and you're going to immediately jump into
the Cobra and Venom family of tires, as an example, and you can start right there.
