Triumph Motorcycles' eagerly anticipated high performance Rocket 3 muscle roadster features the Avon Cobra Chrome as the manufacturer's spec tyre.
Available in two models, the R and GT, the Rocket 3 boasts the world's largest production motorcycle engine capacity of 2,500 cc, which is said to deliver unparalleled acceleration and the highest torque of any production motorcycle.
Avon Tyres, the OE supplier to Triumph Motorcycles, "contributed to the end result by developing a new Cobra Chrome tyre especially for the Rocket 3 line-up. Imposing tyre sizes of 150/80 ZR17 at the front and 240/50 ZR16 at the rear add to the roadster's distinctive muscular presence".
The Cobra Chrome tyre features snakeskin style edge tread and raised Cobra head logo, with a front and rear tread pattern developed for "exceptional grip and incredible mileage," says Dominic Clifford, Avon's recently appointed Global Motorcycle Manager.
"We are proud to be the tyre of choice for such an iconic brand as Triumph Motorcycles. The Rocket 3 roadster is the pinnacle of motorcycles. To see our Avon Cobra Chrome tyre fitted on both models really is a testimony to the tyre's performance."
Founded in 1904 and still based at Melksham in the UK, Avon Tyres is owned by the American Cooper Tire & Rubber Company.
