Avon Trailrider tyre OE for new KTM 890 Adventure

The Avon Tyres’ dual-sport Trailrider tyre has been selected as original equipment for the new KTM 890 Adventure bike.

The KTM 890 Adventure replaces the 2019-spec 790 edition, which was also equipped with the Avon Trailrider.

Featuring a host of refinements over its predecessor, the 890 is a lightweight, high-performance bike that is effective both on- and off-road. It sports a 21-inch front wheel (Trailrider size 90/90-21) and an 18-inch rear (150/70 R18).

The Trailrider tyre is said to deliver supreme mileage, stability and grip in all weather conditions on all surfaces, featuring the latest in carcass construction technology, along with a tri-compound tread.

René Delonge, global OE sales, Avon Tyres, said: “We are very proud to be featured on the new KTM 890 Adventure bike. It has been a joy to work with KTM in recent years and the 890 marks another important step in our journey together. We cannot wait to see the bike in action – on- and off-road – in 2021!”

Following a robust evaluation, Avon Tyres was recently recognised by KTM as an A+ supplier and was awarded with a ‘Supplier Excellence Award’ for “performance and reliability” in delivering products throughout 2019.
