The Avon Viper Supersport AV60 is a polarizing motorcycle tire that excels in dry-weather performance and longevity but requires careful temperature management. While many riders praise its high-speed stability and grip once warmed, others report inconsistent feedback and unpredictable handling, particularly in wet conditions or on specific high-performance sportbikes.
What owners say
No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.
How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.
By owner reviews

Pros
- Exceptional dry-weather grip and high-speed stability
- Impressive tread longevity and durability
- Predictable turn-in characteristics for road riding
- Quick warm-up time for many users
Cons
- Inconsistent wet-weather performance and traction
- Requires significant heat to reach optimal operating temperature
- Potential for unpredictable rear-end slides if cold
- Front-end feedback can feel vague or twitchy on certain sportbike geometries
Worth knowing
- Heavier, high-horsepower machines like the ZX-12R appear to generate sufficient heat to maximize grip, whereas lighter sportbikes may struggle to bring the tires to operating temperature.
- Riders of aggressive supersport machines, such as the R1, reported significant confidence issues regarding front-end stability and wet-weather traction.
