 Avon Motorcycle History   1885 - We have lift off! E G Brown and J C Margeston turn a former cloth mill near Bath into a rubber products factory.  1890 - Business is booming; Avon outgrows its original premises and moves to Melksham in Wiltshire, Great Britain. We haven’t moved since. 1897 - Already expert at making solid tyres, Avon recognizes that pneumatic tyres are where the future’s headed and starts development, despite the fact that there are fewer than 50 British made cars on the road at this time. By 1901 Avon opens its first pneumatic tyre production line..................and so to 2000 - Avon pushes forward the boundaries of radial motorcycle tyre design with the Azaro range; this high performance tyre successfully blends great grip with long life. Meanwhile, Avon Racing clinches a three-year deal to provide tyres for the US Formula 2000 National Championship. 2001 - Reinforcing its position as a producer of high performance car tyres, Avon launches the low-profile, high speed ZZ3 range. 2002 - The technologies that created the original Azaro bike tyre have been refined and improved; the new Azaro grips harder, lasts longer. 2003 - Avon Racing continues to supply competition tyres to more than 150 race championships around the world. Meanwhile, Avon's range of high performance road car tyres continues to expand its coverage of the sports car market, and its outstanding range of motorcycle tyres, particularly the exciting Azaro series, makes more and more new friends.
