Product: Avon 3D Ultra Sport tyres, Reduced Pricing!

The Avon Ultra Sport are a great tyre for Autumn and Winter and are currently on sale at a reduced RRP...

Heading into the cooler and wetter weather for Autumn and Winter, it’s often a great time to replace motorcycle tyres and choose something that’ll handle the frequent mixed conditions, with Avon’s 3D Ultra Sport tyres offering a great mix of sporty characteristics with great wet weather performance.

Avon 3D Ultra Sport Features:

• Outstanding handling characteristics
• Large footprint at extreme lean angles
• High performance single and multi-compound Super Rich Silica (SRS) treads enhance wet grip
• Ideal for high performance bikes
• 3D siping with interlocking three dimensional points to improve stability and grip, limit tread flex,and allow the tire to warm up quickly

We’ve tested a set on our long term Daytona 675R, and you can find the full test here:

Avon 3D Ultra Sport technical talk:

Technology wise the Avon 3D Ultra Sports feature what they call the Advanced Tread Arc Combination, or Tri-Arc, which varies the tread profile across the tyre to ensure handling and stability regardless of your lean angle, or lack there-of.

This works with the Advanced-Variable Belt Density technology found on the rear tyres, with a jointless belt of ultra-strong steel or aramid strands running the tyres circumference. Towards the centre of the tread the strands are closely spaced to ensure stability and high wear resistance, while towards the edge they are spaced out, allowing for a larger contact patch when leant over, or with a knee down.

The Enhanced Stability System ensures the carcass, sidewall and tread pattern design work to reduce localised flexing in the tyres contact patch, which ensures grip and stability and promotes better wear properties. Force Following Grooves are the tread design with deep cut grooves that follow the force transmitted through the tread and carcass to reduce wear, while balancing water dispersal with stability and wear resistance, and works with the Enhanced Aqua Flow pattern for clearing water from under the tyres.

The quick warming properties of the Avon 3D Ultra Sports is actually partially thanks to the 3D Siping, which is interlocking three dimensional points that limit tread flex and improve stability and grip, while ensuring the tyre warms quickly. Heat is caused by friction afterall!

Super Rich Silica (SRS) compounds have also been formulated to ensure good grip in the wet and cold, while also helping reduce excessive heat build up, helping protecting the tyre from excessive wear in these circumstances.

On the front tyre a system called Inverted Front Grooves (IFG) that was developed by Avon in the ‘80s and continues to be used, and resists stepped wear and cupping, as well as improving wet braking properties and shortening brake distances. This has the benefit of ensuring front tyre performance remains stable throughout the tyre’s life.

The rear tyres benefit from the Hybrid Belt system which uses a ultra strong low extension steel wire of different tensions bound together to create a tape component which is wound around the tyre at 0 degrees, ensuring high speed stability and flexibility, as well as exceptional mechanical grip.

The rear tyres also feature Triple Tread Extrusion, which is essentially a three compound design, where a durable medium compound is used in the centre of the tyre for improved mileage, while a soft compound is used for the edges to ensure grip at lean angles. These are on top of a soft low hysteresis compound which improves the bond between the other two compounds and the carcass.

Reactive Footprint technology also combines the Advanced-Variable Belt Density carcass and Life Profile Engineering (which ensures consistent handling for the life of the tyre) to provide a footprint or contact patch which changes side and shape depending on lean angle for the entire life of the tyre, giving good straight line mileage, with great cornering grip.
