Cédric Klein credits British Café
Racers as being the influence
behind the Avinton GT model

The Roadster is described by
Avinton as: “The bike the most
adapted to daily use, out in the
countryside or in downtown traffic
jammed areas. Strong in character,
agile, and a true muscle bike, the
Roadster allows its rider to enjoy
each and every ride, no matter what
the setting.”

emphasis is placed on performance;
the handlebars are low, putting the
weight distribution more over the front
wheel.
hen it comes to finishing
packages on the Avinton bikes,
the selections include the Collector
Finish. “It is all about the minimalist
equipment already visible on the first
Avintons. However, the Collector
Finish Avintons differ from the first
bikes due to the fact that they can be
personalized with any or all of the 50
options that we offer,” says Klein.
Included with each Collector are

W

aluminum Marchesini wheels, an AJP
six-piston caliper and lever for the
front brake, and a Devil stainless steel
silencer.
British cafe racers are used as a
design influence when it comes to the
Vintage Finish package. The
Marchesini rims are replaced with
Kineo spoked wheels, with the owner
selecting the color of the anodizing on
the hubs, spokes, rims and spoke
heads. The mirrors are placed at the
ends of the handlebars, and the sport
seat is replaced with a comfort seat.

wners choosing the Deluxe Finish
package get a bike equipped with
a thick comfort seat, a modified
ignition curve for a slightly more
relaxed ride, and a steering damper.
The rims are again replaced with Kineo
spoked wheels, a carbon fiber silencer
also replaces the stainless steel
version, and a Beringer single-disc
front brake with a radial mount sixpiston caliper is fitted.
Talking about the Grand Sport
Finish, Klein says: “For this finish the
bikes are equipped with a dual-disc

O

Beringer brake system. This
considerably reduces the breaking
distance necessary before turning. In
addition, the rear shock is replaced by
a special racing version cu stomized to
the owner’s weight, and the steering
damper eliminates any vibrations as
speed increases. And last, but
definitely not least, the Devil Carbone
carbon fiber silencer emits a mechanic
symphony for a completely unique
riding experience.”
