The Avon Storm is one of the latest high-performance sport touring tires. It replaces the highly popular and widely used Avon Azaro tire.
There are currently 15 sizes for the Avon Storm tire, both for the front and rear tires. This makes the tire more flexible and compatible for various types of motorbikes whether for a track drive or a road ride.
There are various considerations once you decide to replace your old tires with a brand new tire. Among this considerations include the traction, cornering stability, steering response, noise, ride comfort, and especially for most people the tread life and mileage. The Avon Storm tire addresses each of these considerations with the integration of significant tire technologies to provide riders with the optimum functionality of sport touring tire.
Reactive Footprint Technology - Avon Storm tire review
The Reactive Footprint Technology is one of the most impressive features of the Avon Storm tire. This is not commonly seen in most sport touring tires. This technology enables the tire to adapt to any angle during a lean. A full lean will not be a difficult grip for the rider because of this technology. As a result, the rider can benefit a full stability and handling response from the tire. This is achieved through the integration of the known Lifetime Profile Engineering, a unique functional feature in Avon that focuses on the variable belt density carcass of the tire. This allows the Avon Storm tire to change the size and shape of the footprint resulting to a better mileage and longer tread life.
Specialized Features for Wet Weather Conditions - Avon Storm tire review
Another impressive feature is the inclusion of a super-rich silica compounds that are specialized to complement the Avon Storm tire’s rubber composition. The resulting combination allows the tire to reduce the wear effect and gain maximum performance in a wet weather. This is very beneficial for riders who want a full grip in a wet road. Moreover, the Enhanced Aqua Flow (EFA) technology provides a very distinctive pattern and design that adds confidence for a rider in wet roads or track. This is also a safety feature.
This inclusion is added in the Avon Storm rear tire. The Inverted Front Grooves (IFG) feature also contributes for a better performance of the Avon Storm tire in a wet weather condition. This feature adds a stepped-wear and cupping resistance.
All these specialized features improve the Avon Storm tire’s functionality in terms of steering, handling, stability, and braking in wet weather conditions.
