Avon looks ahead to the future with EICMA presence

Avon Tyres, one of the motorcycle industry’s longest-established tire brands, will make its return to a major international show in November when it exhibits at EICMA in Milan, Italy.

Looking ahead to an exciting future as part of the Goodyear family of brands, Avon will exhibit at the world’s largest motorcycle fair to discuss plans for 2024 and beyond with riders and partners from all corners of the motorcycle industry. It will also be the first occasion that both Avon and Dunlop will feature side-by-side at a major international show as two of Goodyear’s motorcycle brands. 

Avon’s selection of motorcycle products boasts an impressive range, covering hypersport to custom tires. Avon will showcase tires across this range at the show, such as Roadrider MKII, Speedmaster MKII, TrekRider and 3D SUPERSPORT.

The Avon range also includes the popular Cobra Chrome, which is designed for the power cruiser, touring, and custom motorcycle market. Cobra Chrome offers outstanding wet braking performance and stability, ensuring precise handling and excellent tire feedback.

This focus on key designs ensures the Avon brand still offers its most popular products, sitting as a strong partner offering alongside the Dunlop range.

Ben Hoge, General Manager Motorcycle Europe, Goodyear stated: “We’re looking forward to speaking to riders, dealers and partners at EICMA about the exciting plans for Avon next year and beyond. Avon’s range of motorcycle tires is a testament to its commitment to quality and innovation, and its presence alongside Dunlop at EICMA symbolises the strength of Goodyear’s motorcycle brands coming together.”

EICMA takes place between the 7th – 12th November 2023 at Fiera Milano. Visit Avon in hall 24, at stand Q68.

Triumph launches Rocket 3 roadster line-up on Avon’s Cobra Chrome tyre

Available in two models, the R and GT, the Rocket 3 boasts a world’s largest production motorcycle engine capacity of 2500cc, which delivers the highest torque of any production motorbike and unparalleled acceleration, while offering a beautifully smooth, responsive and incredibly refined ride.

Avon Tyres, the OE supplier to Triumph Motorcycles, contributed to the end result by developing a new Cobra Chrome tyre especially for the Rocket 3 line-up. Imposing tyre sizes of 150/80 ZR17 at the front and 240/50 ZR16 at the rear add to the roadster’s distinctive muscular presence.

Avon’s Cobra Chrome tyre features exquisite details. Consistent with its name, the edge of the tread is reminiscent of snake skin, and a raised logo in the form of a Cobra head further enhances its aesthetics. Meanwhile, the new tread pattern on the front and rear has been developed for exceptional grip and incredible mileage.

“We are proud to be the tyre of choice for such an iconic brand as Triumph Motorcycles. The Rocket 3 roadster is the pinnacle of motorcycles. To see our Avon Cobra Chrome tyre fitted on both models really is a testimony to the tyre’s performance.” Dominic Clifford, Global Avon Motorcycle Manager
