Avon Goes Tall
Avon introduces two new sizes to suit custom bikes. The new tires, a 130/60R23 64V AM41 (front) and 280/40R20 89V AM42 (rear) will be the latest additions to Avon's Venom range. The front 130/60R23 AM41 Venom will fit rims between 3.5 and 4.00 inches, and will have a nominal width of 130mm and an approximate overall diameter of 740mm. The rear 280/40R20 AM42 Venom has been designed for rims between 9.5 and 10.5 inches and will measure an estimated 280mm wide, with an overall diameter of approximately 732mm. Both new tires are V-rated for speeds of up to 149 mph/240 kph. With Aramid belts for added stability, the tires' radial construction means the 280/40R20 can be paired with a radial, bias-belted, or cross-ply front tire. Both front and rear tires boast special "rim protectors" to help prevent damage to wheels from potholes.For more information, contact Avon Motorcycle, (800) 624-7470, www.avonmotorcycle.com.
