[Avon Cobra] Avon Storm 2 Ultra
Sport-Touring Storm 2 Ultra The Storm 2 Ultra is a sport/sport-touring tire for bikes such as the Honda ST1300, Yamaha FJR1300 and the BMW R 1200 RT, and also for sportbike riders who don’t wish to wear out their center tread as quickly. It features Advanced Variable Belt Density technology, a densely wrapped belt in the center for stability, wear and mileage, with less density on the shoulders for a larger, more compliant contact patch. Others: Avon also offers the bias/bias-belted Venom in cruiser sizes, and the Venom R in two custom sizes. The Roadrider cruiser tire is for non-radial applications and lighter cruiser/touring bikes. It fits everything from the Kawasaki 250 Ninja to Harley Sportsters and the Triumph Bonneville. avonmoto.com
