    Melksham, UK − Old Empire Motorcycles, specialists in building bespoke, limited-run motorcycles, is launching the latest in a line of custom ‘street bobbers’ fitted with Avon AM20 and AM21 tires.

    ‘The Fox’ is the creation of Old Empire Motorcycles, specialists in building bespoke, limited-run motorcycles and is based on the classic Royal Enfield Bullet 500. Only five of these machines will be made, with all of them running on Avon tires.

    With the centre of the bike being the 2002-specification Royal Enfield Bullet 500 motor, the Fox has a classically-inspired heart providing plenty of power.

    Doug Ross, Head of Global Motorcycle Tyre Sales for Avon Tyres, said: “Avon Tyres are often the only choice for specials builders around the world. We’ve seen in recent years world championship winning custom-made machines rolling on Avon Tyres, so we’re proud to see the Fox running on our Avon AM20 and AM21 tires.”
