Avon Tyres has announced that it will supply tyres – TrailRider, 3D Ultra Sport and Spirit ST – to Rok Bagoroš, official stunt rider for KTM.
Bagoroš, from Radenci, Slovenia, started his professional riding career in 2011 with a KTM Duke 125 and switched to the KTM Duke 690 the following year. He recently updated his bike range to include the KTM Duke 790.
Performing at events across the globe with his unique “RokON Show”, Rok features his newest tricks, combined with special effects, rock music and an amazing atmosphere.
Avon’s global motorcycle sales manager, Doug Ross, said: “We are delighted to welcome Rok to the Avon family. He shares his enthusiasm for what he does with fans around the world and will bring Avon Tyres to a whole new audience. This complements our supply of original equipment tyres to KTM.”
Avon Tyres announced last November that it is the original equipment (OE) fitment for the KTM 790 ADVENTURE. 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 manufacturing motorcycle tyres for more than a century and its range stretches from the track-inspired 3D Ultra Xtreme through the hypersport touring Spirit ST tyre and Cobra Chrome for custom and cruiser applications. Other ranges include the Roadrider for classic and vintage bikes and the TrailRider and TrekRider for adventure sport use.
