Description
The Storm ST is the first tire to include Avon’s new “Reactive Footprint” technology. This technology marries Avon’s unique variable belt density carcass with Lifetime Profile Engineering to produce a footprint which changes size and shape, depending on the bike’s lean angle, for the full life of the tyre .
The result is a contact patch that grows as the bike leans, giving more grip in corners while minimizing wear rates when traveling in a straight line.
This technological breakthrough could eliminate the need to use dual compounds and would help solve the uneven wear problems associated with them. Pete McNally, Avon’s Motorcycle Product Manager explained, “These new technologies combine to make a tyre that doesn’t just handle well when new but also in the last 25% of its life.”
