Avon Tires has launched its new TrekRider motorcycle Tire. The TrekRider is Avon's first "adventure tire", and offers a 50:50 split of on-road versus off-road performance. Designed for light to medium trails, the tire is designed to work as well in mud and gravel as it does on asphalt. 

Avon says the new tire makes choosing tires for an adventure bike much simpler. Often when selecting the best road bike tire, performance can be limited when riding on mud, but with a full-on dirt tire, a bikes road holding can be affected. Avon's new TrekRider has been designed to cut out any of this compromise. 

To achieve this the TrekRiders pattern has tread blocks and channels designed to cut through mud, yet also stay stable on tarmac and concrete. An enhanced construction on the cross-ply and radial carcasses gives better high-speed stability for motorway work, yet retains the compliance found on the dedicated dirt bike tire. Finally, a specially-chosen compound mix optimises grip on both wet and dry roads, while boosting traction in the dirt.

NOTE:

Dennis Kirk recommends a new tube and rim strip when replacing a tube-type tire
