The Avon SPIRIT ST 160/70R17 73W is a motorcycle tyre intended for sport-touring riders who require a blend of grip, comfort and endurance. It fits bikes used for both spirited weekend rides and longer distance touring across mixed road conditions. The tyre profile balances contact patch stability with agile handling to provide natural steering feel and confident feedback in corners.

The tread pattern features directional grooves and siping that help water evacuation and maintain wet grip during UK weather changes. A dual-compound arrangement supports consistent mileage while offering good cornering stability at a range of lean angles. The reinforced sidewall improves load capacity and helps preserve even wear under touring loads. Rolling resistance has been considered to limit fuel impact while sustaining traction levels. Braking distance is optimised through compound tuning and tread block stability.

For riders this translates to improved control on long journeys, predictable handling in wet conditions and extended tyre life that suits regular touring. The tyre offers a reassuring combination of comfort and performance for varied road use.
