It’s still the rainy season here in the UK and if you ride a learner or commuter bike (specifically those in the 125cc class) you might be interested to learn that Avon have launched a new range of tyres that sound as though they were designed with our weather in mind.
Avon say they’re optimised for “wet weather and urban performance” which, I like to think, translates into “when it’s raining in town”. Avon also say that the tread pattern clears water and reduces tyre warm-up times.
Universal fitments are available (see table below) but OEM size options are available for Honda’s CBF125 and CBR125, and Yamaha’s YBR125 and YZF125.
