Motorcycle specifications AvintonPearl 2017 La perle d 'Avinton

Avinton's philosophy is simple: aim for perfection. This French brand (based in Sommières in the Gard region of France) offers the best of the best. It shows us that we can always do better with an idea as simple as it is ingenious: listen to our customers.

The Pearl is in fact an Avinton improved by taking into account all customer feedback and opinions to offer an even more accomplished model. The challenge has been met!

Let's be clear about one thing: all the options available on the Pearl were already available on the other models. In this case, it's a question of offering a motorcycle whose base has already been modified according to feedback.

What's new on the Pearl? Well, a more generous saddle with greater hollowing out for the happy future owner, electronic fuel injection and a system that allows the bike to be easily converted from solo to duo (if you take this option, you'll receive a small box with a passenger saddle and a set of rear footrests inside. This equipment can be easily fitted at will).

There's also a 60mm longer swingarm, for even greater stability. In fact, it looks slightly longer, giving it an even more racy appearance, enhanced by the fluidity of its existing lines. The length of the chassis is crossed by a hand making a wave that naturally leads to a headlight plunging towards the road. All that's left to do is press the button on the air intake above the fuel tank to hear the wild beast roar. An explosive feline or a classy bomb. The choice is yours, the feel is yours, and the look is yours!

But the most striking evolution is to be found in the beast's muscles. Upgraded to Euro 4 standards, the square-section S&S block has had its castration removed. The result is a 145 HP mill with 18.35 Mkg of torque at just 3,000 rpm, weighing 197 kg with full tanks. A monster of sensations and an explosion of the senses. Before, we had an athlete, now we have a real force of nature. A thruster more than capable of satisfying the most demanding customers in a package worthy of the finest evening dress. That's what this Pearl is all about!

An always incisive chassis, with redoubtable precision, an LCD instrument panel and powerful braking make this beast the ultimate toy for the passionate connoisseur. Every turn becomes a destination, and every destination a journey.

And, of course, all the options already available on the entire brand are available on this Pearl. You can equip it as you wish. Higher or lower handlebars? A paint job specially made for you? Special engraving? A four-disc front brake? No problem! Anything is possible, with the added bonus of being listened to and advised by an attentive team ready to make your dreams come true. And for those who like to work on their bikes, after taking a course at the factory, they can do the maintenance themselves without losing their warranty. This last point sums up the brand's philosophy perfectly. What's more, this model will be available from November 8, 2016

But, finally, there's one thing that can't be described: it's the emotion that emanates every time you open the garage door. And that's perhaps Avinton's greatest achievement!
