[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 13387, member: 38"] When Avon stopped making their various Venom/Super Venom/New Roadrunner etc I called their main number and had quite a chat with one of their "people" He certainly intimated that the new Roadrider would give good mileage like the Roadrunner (AM??) that it replaced and grip like a Super Venom. I can't recall if he actually said dual compound, however it would not surprise me if it was. I used to get about 5000 miles from a rear Super venom (120/90 - 18) and upped that to around 8000 on a Road rider. That's usualy done about 80% two up with luggage. A Roadrider in Australia barely made 7000 - I think due to slightly heavier than normal load, the heat and the seemingly more coarse and sharp rock used on the roads. [/QUOTE]
