Avon Tyres chosen as
fitment for new Gemini
motorcycle models
Avon Tyres has been selected as
original equipment (OE) for two
new limited edition motorcycles
from UK based Associated
British Motorcycles (ABM).
The Gemini 'Indianapolis' and
'Naked' machines were unveiled
at the recent Carole Nash MCN
London Motorcycle Show and
feature Avon's 3D Ultra Sport
and TrailRider tyres.
Avon's 3D Ultra Sport is said to
deliver "outstanding handling
characteristics, making it ideal
for high performance bikes,
while the TrailRider features a
high-tech carcass construction
and the latest compounds to
deliver superb grip and
handling".
Designed and engineered by
ABM's sister company,
renowned engine and chassis
specialists T3 Performance,
"these stunning machines
feature the best in British
engineering and components to
achieve two unique styles. The
Gemini 'Naked' takes the Cafe
Racer theme, but with
Superbike levels of power and
handling. The 'Indianapolis'
shares the components of the
'Naked', but has its own style,
inspired by the fearless US flat
trackers".
Tailor-made to the bespoke
requirements of each individual
customer, the machines are a
limited edition. ABM aims to
bridge the gap between custom
bike builders and mainstream
manufacturers, giving genuine
individuality with technical
back-up and aftermarket
service.
Doug Ross, Global Head of
Motorcycle Sales at Avon Tyres,
said that "we are extremely
proud to be chosen as the OE
tyre fitment for these two eye-
catching high performance
machines. Avon's 3D Ultra Sport
and TrailRider tyres perfectly
complement the power and
performance of the Gemini
Twins."
Tony Scott, founder of ABM,
said: "The Gemini Twins suit our
entry into the marketplace
perfectly. They are British, they
are inspired, and they are edgy,
creating a buying opportunity
for those looking for something
very special. We are delighted
to supply these British bikes
with Avon tyres, which have
been manufactured in Britain
for over 100 years."
