Avon Tyres showcases new 3D Ultra sports tyre at EXPO
Avon Tyres will be at this weekend’s Motorcycle Trade EXPO show, where its exciting new sports tyre range – 3D Ultra – will make its debut.
The 3D Ultra is a new range of tyres for sports-oriented motorcycles and comes in three distinct versions, which include:
• 3D Ultra Sport
• 3D Ultra Supersport
• 3D Ultra Xtreme
3D Ultra Sport gives sportsbike riders the perfect compromise between grip and durability, offering a large stable footprint, fast warm-up times and high-performance, silica-rich multi-compound, making it a perfect choice for the road.
3D Ultra Supersport is a soft-compound version of 3D Ultra Sport for road and track, offering excellent grip under hard braking and acceleration.
3D Ultra Xtreme is for track days only and both its profile and footprint is optimised for big lean angles, while the soft compound is ‘thermally stable’ for huge grip levels.
All versions of 3D Ultra offer advanced features. 3D Sipes are cut into the tread of the tyres and these feature interlocking, three-dimensional points which improve stability and grip, limiting tread flex and allowing the tyre to warm-up in less time.
A new design of wind-on-belt material is used in the construction of the rear tyres, which helps to increase the footprint size at all lean angles, improving grip. Triple Extrusion or ‘TE’ tread compound places durable rubber in the centre of the tyre to give good mileage and softer compound on the shoulders of the tyre producing increased grip where you need it most – in the corners. A third compound below binds both together and helps keep the tyre cooler, so it lasts longer.
