Avon Tyres’ new Avon TrekRider tyre gives adventure riders the best of both worlds New TrekRider combines off-road ability with performance on the road
Avon Tyres has launched the new TrekRider motorcycle tyre combining superb off-road and on-road performance.
The TrekRider is Avon’s first adventure tyre that offers a 50/50 split of on road versus off-road performance. Designed for light to medium trails, the tyre works as well in mud and gravel as it does on asphalt.
This new tyre will make choosing tyres for an adventure bike much simpler. Often when selecting the best road bike tyre, performance can be limited when driving on mud, but with a full-on dirt tyre, a bike’s roadholding can be affected. Avon’s new TrekRider has been designed to cut out any of this compromise.
METZELER is the technical partner of the first appointment of the 2019 edition of the World Enduro Super Series (WESS), the multi-discipline motorcycle championship for professionals and amateurs alike. Estabished in 2018 with the aim of combining today’s various competitive enduro formats, it is now in its second edition after what has been an incredibly successful debut season in the enduro world scenario.
The blue elephant brand on 10 May 2019 in Portugal, on the TOYOTA PORTO EXTREME XL LAGARES, will be present with its own racing vendor in the paddock and will offer all participating riders, be they professionals or amateurs, the possibility to buy MCE Six Days Extreme tyres, in the 140/80 - 18 Soft or Super Soft rear versions and 90/90 – 21 standard or hard front versions, to be combined with soft and medium mousses.

The motorcycle manufacturer recommends a tyre pressure (to be taken from the vehicle documents / operating instructions) which must always be observed. This applies to the tyres with which the motorcycle was delivered.
Tire manufacturers sometimes deviate slightly from this. Since motorcycle tires are constructed differently, such as. different stiff carcass or carrying capacity, they also tolerate a different air pressure. The tire manufacturers test the latest tires on the motorcycle, or pass on the optimal duck for your tire based on experience. Over the years, it may well be that the recommendations of the tire manufacturer are much more accurate than what the motorcycle manufacturer recommended a few decades ago.
Recently, we also maintain the recommended air pressures in our myNETmoto / database. You can choose your bike to find the recommended tires and air pressure.
Unless the motorcycle has a TPMS motorcycle tire pressure monitoring system
These systems are only prescribed for cars and not for motorcycles, although the right tire pressure is much more important here than in the car.
It decides about life and death who, due to the wrong pressure, slips away and lands in the next ditch.
It is up to everyone, but we strongly recommend getting a TPMS.

Avon's Trailrider dual sport rubber comes as standard on the new KTM 790 Adventure
British motorcycle brand Avon Tyres is the original equipment (OE) fitment for the KTM 790 ADVENTURE launched at EICMA 2018 (6-11 November), in Milan.
As a lightweight, high performance bike that is equally happy on the street as it is off-road, the KTM 790 ADVENTURE has spoked wheels in true off-road sizes. With a 21-inch front wheel and 18-inch rear, these come fitted with AVON TRAILRIDER tyres – a dual sport option.
Avon has been developing motorcycle tyres for more than a century, and its TrailRider adventure sport touring tyre provides extra mileage, stability and grip in all weather conditions on all surfaces.
The TrailRider features the latest in carcass construction technology along with Avon’s tri-compound tread, which provides a softer compound on the tread edge, for more grip; a harder centre compound for mileage, and a low-hysteresis bonding compound under the surface tread. The tread compounds themselves are very high in silica, for superb wet weather performance.
The company’s tyre innovations include the ContiTrailAttack 3, the third generation of the agile onroad/offroad tyre.
An abundance of impressive innovations makes the ContiTrailAttack 3 a true all-rounder for adventuring and for everyday use. It offers remarkable agility, which it is able to achieve following an extremely short warm-up run of no more than 1500 meters - this is all it requires to reach its optimum operating temperature. In addition, the new Continental Adventurer masters off-road and asphalt routes just as easily as it does varying road conditions, from bone dry to completely saturated.
Thanks to the smooth interaction of the three cornerstones caused by Continental´s MutiGrip-technology with extra abrasion-resistant center section, balanced carcass construction and the special profile design, the ContiTrailAttack3 becomes a faithful friend with consistently reliable properties throughout its entire lifetime: Superior agility, precise handling, high comfort and sensitive feedback are the result of this extraordinarily effective Continental technology.
