One of the UK’s top track day companies has chosen to solely use Avon Tyre’s new Viper Xtreme road legal track tyre on their instructors’ bikes. Manufactured and distributed by Cooper Tire & Rubber Company Europe Limited, the Avon branded Viper range was developed with advanced construction methods providing exceptional grip for high-power machines. Based solely at Donington Park, Track Attack is unique in the UK for using travelling marshals alongside their instructors. Throughout the year these ‘active marshals’ have the highly desirable job of constantly circulating the track in order to police any incidents quickly and without disruption to the session.
Kneesliders will grind deeper into the tarmac this year as Cooper Tire & Rubber Company Europe Ltd. adds the super-grippy Xtreme trackday tyre to its Avon Tyre Viper range. Following on from the successful Viper Sport & Viper Supersport road tyres launched early 2005, Viper Xtreme differs with many new technical attributes to take tyre performance to new limits. Though road legal, a focus on pure track ability has allowed Avon’s technicians to exploit new materials and construction methods.
