Storm 3D X-M review
ALTHOUGH Avon launched its new Storm 3D X-M last summer, the hypersport touring tyre has now been released by the British firm in a wealth of new sizes to fit anything from big trail bikes and sportsbikes, to hypersports and commuters.
The 3D X-M, which stands for ‘extra mileage’, is a revision of Avon’s own Storm and Storm 2 with an emphasis on both increased tyre life and higher levels of grip compared to the previous generation rubber.

Avon say typical fitments for the tyre include the Suzuki Hayabusa, Honda Blackbird and Kawasaki GTR1400, so there was little surprise at the UK launch this week when the line-up of test bikes were mostly high-powered sportsbikes and hypertourers.
