Description
If you’re looking for a high mileage motorcycle tyre, the Avon Storm X-M fits the bill. High performance plus extended mileage.
The X-M version will deliver 15%-20% extra mileage compared to the current Storm range.
They’re available in 12 different sizes and will fit to pretty much any modern road bike of the past decade, plus quite a few sizes to fit classics and modern retros.
The interlocking three-dimensional points hidden in the sipes of the Storm 3D XM are designed to improve stability and grip, limit tread flex and allow the tyre to warm up quickly.
If you’re an all-season commuter or touring on a big bike, these are well worth a look.
High performance single and multi-compound super rich silica tread enhances wet grip (SRS).
Superb handling and stability characteristics.
Typical fitments: Suzuki Hayabusa, Honda Blackbird, Kawasaki GTR1400, Suzuki GSX1400
Press Reviews
We set off for Magny-Cours on the first drizzly day in weeks, but luckily I’d fitted new Avon Storm 3D X-Ms for the trip – Storms are built with just these conditions in mind. Special-shaped slits in the tyre surface, called ‘3D sipes’, help the tyre warm up faster, while cunning tread patterns help clear standing water. That meant firm-footed progress even when the rain started lashing down halfway to Paris. Later on, when it warmed up round Magny-Cours, the Storms were still doing the business on the shiny, sun-baked tarmac of Burgundy when corner speeds rose. They were stable on the motorway too.” – Alan Dowds, RiDE magazine

“We’re happy to recommend the Storm 3D. It’s a good example of modern technology being harnessed to keep our riding safer; and the technology works. Grip is excellent, wet or dry, and the long life claims seem to bear investigation, making this tyre a good choice if you plan on doing a lot of touring or enjoy copious use of the throttle. Thumbs up to Avon.” – BigBikeMad.com

“Right from the off the 3D X-M was impressive. In seriously tricky and wet conditions the tyres got up to temperature very quickly and felt perfectly stable, even when I was trying to provoke a slide on slippery, mud-strewn surfaces. Grip was never in doubt and both bikes felt secure, planted and totally predictable when leant over as far as I could, given the grip (or lack of it) offered by the varied road surfaces.” – Tony Carter, Motorcycle Sport & Leisure

“Avon’s UK tyre launch was held in typically British early summer weather with healthy cloud bursts on an otherwise sunny and warm day. Mixed conditions are ideal for tyre tests and the X-M stood up to it well. They inspired confidence and felt able to cope with tricky transitions from damp roads to very wet and then suddenly dry and grippy again.
One theme that carries across most current sporty road tyres is how quickly they feel good, encouraging you to forget about them and get on with your riding. The 3D X-Ms have those qualities. Cornering confidence is high and the Avons work well on a litre sportsbike if you’re a regular road rider. We’d steer towards something sportier if you’re looking at track days, but if you’re in the market for this type of tyre and own an adventure bike or hypersports bike you’re not likely to be as focused on track days.
The X-M’s sport touring bent makes it feel a little stiffer than sportier tyres, which means you can feel lumps and bumps in the road surface a little more, as they are masked less, but the upside of that is plenty of feedback about the surface.
There’s a stable feeling on the brakes too, especially on the heavier bikes. That takes nothing away from the feeling of grip being fed back up through the bars and the seat of your pants in the corners either.
Although we couldn’t test the claim for 15-20 percent longer life during a single day’s test launch, if true it could be a clincher for bigger bike owners who want great road grip, wet or dry, but need more rear tyre mileage. Tagging it as a ‘hypersports touring’ tyre could mislead you into thinking the 3D X-M is purely for Hayabusas but that’s not the case – it’s a tyre for all-comers.” MCN’s Jonathan Pearson

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US
I wasn't sure the size inner tubes I needed, so rang. They were extremely helpful, friendly and gave me the information I needed. Within 5 minutes I had got my answers, tubes ordered, paid and receipted - wow. I am usually cautious about using someone for first time, and not local (I live in Notts). I do recommend Two Tyres. Great job guys.
Called up and was able to get an appointment for the same day to replace both tyres on my BMW R1200 GSA. Not only was it great to get seen so quickly, compared to the 5 week wait I had been quoted by Motorrad, but Chris was able to offer some advice and guidance on which tyres best suited my needs. I cannot praise the service enough from Chris and the team and I will definitely be back for my next set of tyres!
Great service from these guys, I ordered on line and accidentally ordered two items the same, maybe clicked twice waiting for the page to change. They called me to check this wasn't a mistake (which it was) and immediately refunded me for the accidental purchase and sent out just one item. I know I'll be using them to get my tyres & tubes in future.
