I am sorry Moped I stand corrected, there is a new tyre out but I would still recomend the ST version, I think the sport tyre is a mistake, like fitting 010's on the Bird :t .
Wether or not the Bird needs one of these "B" tyres or not I don't know, I had supperb stability with the ordinary Azaros, but I can't wait to give these a try
NEW AZARO ?B?VERSIONS FOR ULTIMATE STABILITY
Six new ?B? version tyres are now available in key sizes to meet the needs of
machines with inherently distinctive handling characteristics.
The new versions are available in 120/70ZR17, 180/55ZR17 and 190/50ZR17, in both the Azaro-ST and Azaro-SP Sport ranges.
The introduction of these new variants follows extensive homologation testing with motorcycle manufacturers.
Leo Smith, Technical Product Manager, said, ?There have been instances recently where machine development has focused on areas other than stability and this is particularly true of some ultra-high speed motorcycles. We have used our expertise to design a more stable platform for such bikes, giving our customers an alternative option, should it be required.?
Cooper-Avon?s fitment recommendations are being updated to include the latest tyres.
The new B versions, together with their product codes, are listed below;
Azaro-ST AV45 AV46
120/70R17 [product code 4056617]
