Avon Tyres new Storm X-M tyres receive high marks

Avon Tyres’ latest sports touring tyres – the Storm 3D X-M – have received rave reviews since launch at Castle Combe in May.

These new additions to the Avon Storm Ultra family of sports touring tyres are made in Britain and aimed at the hypersport motorcycle market. The Avon Storm 3D X-M takes the unique technology found in the 3D Ultra sports tyre family and uses it to create a sports touring tyre which also delivers higher mileage.
The Storm 3D X-M features interlocking three-dimensional points hidden in the tyre’s grooves, which improve stability, grip and warm-up times, while limiting tread flex. These latest advances in tyre technology are married to a high-performance single and multi-compound silica-rich tread which enhances wet grip.

The Storm 3D X-M gives superb handling and stability characteristics which are essential on today’s hyperbikes, such as the Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa, Kawasaki GTR1400 and Kawasaki ZZR1400. It can also transform the performance of older model hyperbikes, such as BMW’s K1300 series and Honda’s Super Blackbird.

The tyres were launched in the UK at Wiltshire’s fast and bumpy Castle Combe circuit where a number of motorcycle journalists had a chance to experience the Storm 3D X-M first-hand.

The Avon Storm 3D X-M is available now in sizes 120/70-ZR17 (front) and 180/55-ZR17 and 190/50-ZR17 (rear).
