Best For

Touring Enthusiast

You're putting 10,000-plus miles a year on a loaded bagger and you need a tire that holds up through changing weather, heavy miles, and a full tank bag without losing its composure. The AV92 Reinforced delivers the durability and all-conditions confidence that long-haul riders depend on.

Perfect Match

Power Cruiser Pilot

You're riding a torquey modern V-twin — mixing freeway stretches with spirited backroad sessions — and you want a tire that handles both ends of that spectrum. The AV92's reinforced construction and sport-derived handling dynamics give you grip and responsiveness without sacrificing longevity.

Perfect Match

Track-Focused Rider

If your priority is maximum lean angle, aggressive heat cycles, and lap-time performance, the AV92 isn't your tire — it's built for street and touring use, not the circuit.

Frequently Asked

Real-world mileage depends on your riding style, bike weight, and how often you check pressures, but touring riders typically see 10,000–15,000 miles and more spirited riders report 8,000–12,000. The reinforced construction and updated compound represent a genuine improvement over the previous Cobra generation in this regard.

Significantly better. Avon brought sport tire tread engineering into the AV92's design, which means more effective water evacuation and shorter stopping distances on wet pavement. Riders switching from conventional cruiser rubber consistently report greater confidence in rain and mixed-weather riding.

The AV92 Reinforced comes in twelve sizes covering most power cruiser, touring, and custom fitments. Check your sidewall for your current size designation, then match it against the available options — both blackwall and whitewall configurations are offered in select sizes. Call us at (714) 516-9059 and we'll confirm fitment for your specific bike.

If your bike is a heavy bagger, a hard-working power cruiser, or anything pushing serious torque, the reinforced casing earns its keep — it prevents the casing flex and premature wear that standard construction struggles with under load. Bikes over 600 pounds or with substantial power output benefit most from what the reinforced design provides.

It's a meaningful step forward, not a badge refresh. The AV92 brings a larger contact patch, better wet traction, improved handling response through sport-derived construction, and longer tire life. It addresses the original Cobra's shortcomings while keeping everything touring riders relied on.

We always recommend running a matched front-rear set. Mixing brands or models can introduce handling inconsistencies because different tires have different profiles, compounds, and flex characteristics. For predictable behavior — especially in the wet — keep it a matched pair.
