TrailRider Features
Interlocking 3 dimensional points hidden within the sipe
Super Rich Silica compound enhances wet grip
Triple compound tread on radial rear for mileage & grip
High Tech carcass construction: A-VBD
Force Following Groves
Enhanced Aqua Flow
TrailRider 3D Sipes 3D Micro-GaugeTM
Siping
Grooves expel water
These grooves create flex points in the tire, especially in the contact patch
This can cause instability, increased wear, & cause the tire to overheat
Adding sipes (very thin grooves) enables faster warm up as the tread flexes more & creates heat (similar to race tires)
Sipes have interlocking 3D points limiting flex to control excessive heat generation
TrailRider Compound
Crosslinkers Silica Silane
3-Dimensional Polymer Network
Compounds loaded with extremely high amounts
of silica reinforcing:
Increases tire performance in low temperatures
Increases Wet Grip
Reduces excessive heat build up
Super Rich Silica
TrailRider Compound
Compound 1
A durable medium compound in the
centre of the tyre for improved mileage
Compound 2
A soft compound on shoulders for
maximum grip at high lean angles
Compound 3
A low hysteresis compound that bonds
the top compounds to the carcass
The tread is composed of 3 different
rubber compounds
TE Tri-compound Extrusion
TrailRider Construction
Advanced Variable Belt Density
Jointless belt of ultra strong steel wires that run circumferentially at 0 degrees
TrailRider Construction
Due to the 0 Degree belt the following occurs:
Growth at high speed reduced
Tire footprint more stable
Improved high speed stability
Tire runs cooler at high speeds
Wear reduction = mileage increase or softer compounds can be used
Flexible shoulder for compliant contact
Advanced Variable Belt Density
TrailRider Tread Design
Pioneered by Avon years ago &
adopted by the competition
IFG help resist stepped-wear
and ‘cupping’ on front tires
Reduction of uneven wear:
Improves wet braking, stopping
distances, and smooth handling
Inverted Front Grooves
TrailRider Pattern Design
FRONT
ROTATION
REAR
ROTATION
Grooves work in tandem w/forces transmitted through tire at lean, giving increased wear,
optimum water dispersal, and improved mileage along with a reduction of tire noise
Force Following Grooves
TrailRider Pattern
Enhanced Aqua Flow
Computer modelled pattern
clears water rapidly
Minimizes stepped/irregular
wear
Technically & aesthetically
