Avon is supplying the tyres for the Triumph Bonneville Bobber, which made its UK public debut at last weekend’s Regent Street Motor Show.
The bike is shod in the Avon Cobra, which exists within the current motorcycle tyre range but has been “further developed to improve performance and is the front tyre of choice on Triumph’s latest bike”.
This is the second Triumph motorcycle that Avon has provided an OE fitment. The Melksham-based company supplies rubber for the Thunderbird LT which is fitted with a radial whitewall version of the Cobra. Avon says it is the first top-tier tyre company to produce a radial white wall.
Ashley Vowles, Avon’s motorcycle tyre design engineer, said: “Avon has developed a fantastic relationship with Triumph, and we are delighted to announce this latest OE deal with such a like-minded British manufacturer.”
