The Battlax family of motorcycle tyres has been extended to the adventure touring segment. First seen at the Intermot fair in Germany at the start of the month, the new Battlax Adventure A40 expands the all-weather potential of trail radials for the many riders who use their adventure machines primarily for on-road touring. Bridgestone says the starting point for the new product’s development was its Battle Wing tyre, and the goal its engineers held was to significantly improve the Battle Wing’s dry and wet handling without sacrificing its high-level stability and durability.
Avon Tyres, the only motorcycle tyre maker in Britain, is exhibiting at Europe’s biggest motorcycle show. Intermot is being staged at Cologne’s Kölnmesse – the venue set to host a new BRV-backed rival to Messe Essen’s Reifen, and one of Europe’s largest exhibition centres. Intermot started on 1 October, and will run until the fifth, with Avon exhibiting a full range of sport-touring, race, road, and classic motorcycle tyres from stand A038 in hall 6.1.
