A mass-produced British motorcycle — Triumph’s 2014 Thunderbird LT — is once again sporting OE fitment British-made rubber thanks to a tie-up with Avon in Wiltshire.
Avon specially developed its Cobra radial white-wall tyres to offer classic appearance, matching the Thunderbird cruiser’s retro stylistic appeal, without compromising modern high-performance grip and handling requirements.
Commenting on the partnership, Avon head of global motorcycle tyre sales Doug Ross said: “We’ve been working with Triumph to develop the first-ever radial white-wall OEM product for quite some time now, so it’s fantastic to see it come to fruition.”
