Avon VP2 Xtreme review

Developed exclusively on race tracks, VP2 Xtreme is uncompromising in its pursuit of ultimate dry grip and optimum high speed performance for riders

Developed exclusively on race tracks, VP2 Xtreme is uncompromising in its pursuit of ultimate dry grip and optimum high speed performance for riders who enjoy exploiting the very best from supersport machines regularly on track.

VP2 Xtreme utilises a super sticky race compound with a special high molecular weight polymer designed to reach its operating temperature fast, ideal for track days.

Avon’s Hybrid Belt, featuring the use of steel and aramid strands in a tyres’ construction, has vastly improved all important rider feel and, consequently, lap times.

The focus on dry use allows VP2 Xtreme to feature a surface pattern with fewer grooves that are further apart and concentrated in the centre ‘third’ of the tyre. This minimal tread also enhances grip as more rubber is in constant contact with the track.

Without a focus on sprint racing, Avon’s designers were able to implement enhanced durability into Xtreme; a rarity for a tyre with such high performance parameters and allowing riders to go faster for longer.

  • Recommended for track day use
  • Super-sticky compound for optimum dry use performance
  • Reaches optimum working temperatures quickly
  • Large footprint at extreme lean angles
  • Increased Stability at high speed and under hard braking
  • Track tuned profiles provide composed turning characteristics.
