Avon RoadRider Motorcycle Tire Review - Royal Enfield Bullet

I put an Avon RoadRider motorcycle tire on the back wheel of my Royal Enfield Bullet 500, and it transformed the way the motorcycle handles. The stock Avon tire has square edges and gets squirrely in the corners, but the new round Avon RoadRider 100/90 - 19 tire makes it corner a lot better. I highly recommend buying a RoadRider tyre if you need a new back tire on your Royal Enfield Bullet Motorcycle. I hope this motorcycle tire review helps.

I Have the same on my MG Breva 750. 110 & 130. They are good tyres alright but ya have to take it fairly easy in the wet.. (pretty much all the time in the west of Ireland!) Diesel spills, rain blah blah the usual annoyances. Although can sometimes add to a ride can get a bit tedious when constant. Specially with Gale force 'breezes' & 'showers' of rain.

Oh for a sunny day Begad.

@Boabiegringo Thanks for the wet riding review.  I haven't ridden the Enfield in the rain much, as we don't get much rain in southern California. Just perfect sunny days. Oh,, for a rainstorm Begad!

looks similar to the metzeler marathon,gotta be a big improvement over the old tire..nice looking bike

@phishst1cks Thanks. It's a huge improvement and makes the bike handle a lot better. It doesn't have the classic look of the stock tire, but I'm OK with that.

tnx for the recommendation - did You try this tyre already during rains?

[hoohoohoblin]

@bangalorebobbel Haven't tried it in the rain yet, and hope I never do. I usually ride my Harley FXR in the rain if I have to go somewhere when it's wet out. The Royal Enfield has one of those sponge air filters on it, so I'm afraid to ride it in the rain. The RoadRider tire has good deep rain grooves, so I expect it works well in the wet.

@hoohoohoblin

ok, that sounds good ... here it is sometimes difficult to avoid driving in the rain - especially in monsoon ... ;-)

And of course, if You have a Harley for rains, use that one ... LOL

@MCTeck Thanks for the comment. I was hoping to have other people who run RoadRiders tell how they like them. You got a great deal on the Triumph.
