Geen ervaring mee nee Ken hem wel van naam..... maar ik zal nooit Dunlops nemen nu, of ze moeten ooit nog eens met echt goede band komen. Ze zijn geen iig geen concurrentie voor Michelin/Bridgestone/Pirelli en zijn ook niet echt goedkoper dus weet niet waarom ik Dunlop zou nemen

Ja, ik heb er nooit mee gereden...

Michelin is wel 1 vd duurste banden he Maar hoort zeker bij de toppers.... ik vind de Road lekkerder dan de 020

Ik neem als mijn banden op zijn ook weer de Road, of misschien wel Sport

New Avon Azaro II Highly Rated In Tough Tyre Test

Avon Tyres' new Azaro II motorcycle tyre for sports bikes has achieved top billing in a number of stringent tyre tests described as 'the toughest yet' by the UK's leading motorcycle newspaper.

Motor Cycle News, Britain's biggest selling motorcycle newspaper, put seven different tyre brands through their paces on a variety of motorcycles at the Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground, a circuit where conditions reflect those found on the road.

Machines used were a Yamaha R1, Honda SP-1, Honda VFR800, Triumph Sprint ST, Suzuki SV650 and Triumph TT600.

The motorcycles were fitted with datalogging equipment similar to those used by race teams to check every level of tyre performance, and riders assessed straight-line, cornering and overbanding stability as well as corner grip.

The newspaper's verdict on the Honda VFR800 and Triumph Sprint ST test was: "One pair stands out from the crowd - the Avon Azaro II AV35/36."

The tyres scored 100% marks for straight-line stability and corner grip on both machines, and also achieved maximum marks from one of the assessors for corner stability.

One of the riders commented: "They're excellent, and show Avon's extensive redesigning of this tyre over the past 12 months has paid off. I can't fault them."

On the Suzuki SV650, on which Azaro AV39/40 tyres were fitted, the verdict from both testers placed the tyres first, with an assessment that the tyres performed "a fair way above the competition."

One rider wrote: "There's nothing these don't do well and the braking potential is awe inspiring. The grip levels surpass anything you'll need on the road. Brilliant, my favourites."

On the Yamaha R1 and Honda SP-1 tests, the Azaro's were placed second, with one rider purring: "They have very, very predictable grip - and loads of it, especially in lower speed turns. It is one of the sportiest tyres tested - excellent." And on the Triumph TT600, the Avon Azaro's came in only one percentage point behind the overall winning tyres.

Avon launched the redesigned Azaro II earlier this summer across the UK and Europe. Like the original, the Azaro II incorporates Avon's unique variable belt density (VBD) technology which gives high speed, straight-line stability and improved cornering grip. Newly developed compounds have been incorporated to give extra mileage and durability without compromising performance qualities.

Julian Baldwin, Marketing Director for Cooper-Avon Tyres, said: "We are absolutely delighted with these test results which have borne out all the performance qualities we set out to build into the Azaro II when we redesigned the tyre."

The AV35 Azaro II is available in five sizes, and four sizes in the AV39 Sport and Supersport versions. The AV36 is offered in 11 sizes, while the AV40 is available in five sizes.

The Azaro II carries Cooper-Avon's unique road hazard warranty (valid in the UK only), which offers a replacement tyre in the event of a new Azaro being accidentally punctured or damaged, provided no more than 1mm of tread has been expended.

Cooper-Avon Tyres Limited has been at the forefront of motorcycle tyre production and development for nearly 90 years and is one of six major bike tyre manufacturers worldwide. It is in the middle of a major investment programme over the next five years to advance its position in the market.
