Polish stunt rider Maciej “DOP” Bielicki has just set a new World Record for the longest recorded rolling burnout on a motorcycle, and he’s used Avon’s Storm 3D X-M to do it.
Maciej set the new World Record in May of this year on a closed road near Harley-Davidson’s dealership in the city of Rzeszów, south-east Poland. To make it even more of a challenge, the course also included a small roundabout which Maciej had to negotiate while still spinning the rear tyre.
The rolling burnout was recorded on video for officials, with organisers also using a high-tech thermal infrared camera to confirm that the rear tyre kept spinning for every inch of the entire 2.78 mile (4.47 km) course.
Both the Storm 3D X-M rear tyre and the Harley-Davidson Street Rod 750 bike were completely standard, without any modifications – part of the conditions for the official World Record.
The record attempt was organised by GOC Harley-Davidson Rzeszów, the biggest Harley-Davidson dealership in Poland and Central-Eastern Europe, alongside Game Over Cycles, a custom bike manufacturer and owner of the Rzeszów dealership.
You can watch Maciej’s record attempt below:
“Avon normally measures the life of its rear tyres in thousands of miles. Our acclaimed sport-touring models, such as the Spirit ST and Storm 3D X-M, usually last for 7,000-10,000 miles of road riding, so we’re not surprised by the tyre’s performance in this challenge.”
The Storm 3D X-M is currently one of the bargains of the season after it was superseded in Avon’s range by the all-new Spirit ST and subsequently dropped in price, so it’s now available at one single trade price for any front and rear combination.
