I’ve been running the Avon Azaro “B” load rating tyres on my Blackbird for a couple of years now and have been pretty pleased with them as a good compromise between grip and longevity - great in the wet too. Avon has recently released the successor to the Azaro B in Europe. It’s called the Storm (see: http://www.avon-tyres.co.uk/motorcyc...showtyre&id=25) and initial feedback from the bike testers and biker websites says that it is a very impressive tyre. It was apparently developed for the heavier hyperbikes like the ‘busa and ‘bird (Oh, all right then, fat sprotsbikes according to Hitcher, hehe).
I’ve just contacted Dold Industries in Hamilton who import Avons and they will be available in the shops some time in December. I’ll be evaluating a set on our “Birds Galore” south island tour next year.
So there you are.... another tyre to add to the confusion![]()
Cheers
Geoff
