MELKSHAM, UK, DECEMBER 3, 2020 – Avon Tyres is delighted to announce that it will continue to work with esteemed motorcycle manufacturer KTM in 2021. Building on an already successful relationship, Avon's dual-sport Trailrider tyre has been selected as original equipment for the new KTM 890 ADVENTURE bike.

It sports a 21-inch front wheel (Trailrider size 90/90-21) and an 18-inch rear (150/70 R18).

The Trailrider tyre is designed to deliver supreme mileage, stability and grip in all weather conditions on all surfaces, featuring the latest in carcass construction technology, along with a tri-compound tread.

René Delonge, Global OE Sales, Avon Tyres, said, "We are very proud to be featured on the new KTM 890 ADVENTURE bike. It has been a joy to work with KTM in recent years and the 890 marks another important step in our journey together. We cannot wait to see the bike in action – on- and off-road – in 2021!"

Joachim Sauer, KTM Product Manager, said, "We are excited to continue our relationship with Avon Tyres into 2021. Following on from the success of the KTM 790 ADVENTURE, we look forward to going to the next level with the KTM 890 ADVENTURE.
