Using technology from the other rubber in its range the TrailRider uses an Advanced Variable Belt construction to control sidewall flex. The tyres are silica-rich promised to enhance wet grip while the rear is a multi-compound construction (softer on the edge harder on the centre) to extend the tyre’s life when riding in a straight line.

Sipes in the radial TrailRiders are small cuts that create extra grooves improving water-displacement and controlling the tyre’s temperature. Avon’s 3D sipes have interlocking points inside that are designed to limit tread flex but still allow the rubber to warm up quickly; when upright they’re open but lean the tyre over and the sipes’ ‘teeth’ cut into the pattern effectively closing up to increase the level of grip when leant right over.

Features:

• Super Rich Silica Compound uses the very latest compounding technology to enhance wet grip.
• Multi-compound treads on radial rears to enhance mileage and grip.
• High-tech carcass construction and next-generation compounds deliver superb grip and handling.
• 90% on-road 10% off-road.
• Interlocking three-dimensional points hidden in the sipes to improve stability and grip limit tread flex and allow the tire to warm up quickly
