Earlier this month the 13th AMD World Championship event was held at ‘INTERMOT Customized’ as part of the annual industry show in Cologne, Germany – with 98 bikes, 85 competitors and 30 countries competing from as far afield as the United States, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Indonesia and India.
Russian customisers Zillers Garage won the coveted title with ‘Insomnia,’ a Yamaha SR 400 based masterpiece, and rising star Dmitry Golubchikov was crowned the Avon World Champion of Custom Bike Building, becoming the first winner from Eastern Europe in the competition’s history.
The Avon-sponsored Freestyle class at the AMD World Championship is internationally recognised as being the premier showcase for advanced custom motorcycle design and engineering.
Flying the flag for Italy, the Cafe Racer class was won by FMW Motorcycles with their build ‘Hurakan,’ an S&S Superstock Avon-shod 1968 Shovelhead.
Avon also used the show as a springboard to launch their brand new Cobra Chrome, which as you may guess from the name, is set to replace the already popular Avon Cobra.
It offers an increased range of sizes in both black and white wall, along with increased longevity, and improved aesthetics.
