AVON Touring Cobra The Cobra is aimed at the cruiser, touring and custom market, and Avon says that it incorporates sport tire technology for nimble handling, combined with stability, yet does not compromise longevity. It’s available in new sizes, some in whitewalls, including extra-wide sizes for custom bikes. There is also a new dual-compound application for the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing that features 6-ply technology (3 plies, 3 belts for structural integrity and resistance to irregular wear).
