Pics of Avon Roadriders
« on: 29.12. 2023 07:45 »
Hi all, first post.. whilst not wishing to start ‘another’ thread on tyres, any chance of posting pics of your twins fitted with Roadriders ? I had them on a Venom before and they were great, but they can look a bit skinny. I know it’s about grip not looks but it all still counts to a degree !
Cheers, Dave in Brum

Welcome!
Here's one on a rear. Bit skinny as you say (height as well as width), but I've liked the ones I've had on a couple of bikes. Seem to last quite well  . . .

G'day Dave.  *welcome*
Roadriders are a good choice if your not into period looking tyres. Their grip level is excellent in the dry and had worse in the wet but not bad.
I've had'em on the Cafe for years, even when I was racing her, and on the plunger till recently (TT100's now).
Cheers

Thanks , are they 18’s ?
Yes I had them before, great tyres but the 19 rears can look skinny ( although Catz’s bike looks great )

Yes, thought that. I think I’ll go with them, as I say I put them on a Venom and they transformed it. Your 19”s look good and not too skinny.

Hi All,
Go for a 100/90 x 19 rear
90/90 or 3.25 x 19 front
I wonder if these will be produced somewhere now that Avon UK has closed down??
