Metzeler Tourance NEXT Front Tire

Description

The new Tourance NEXT. The Enduro street tire that dares you to challenge any weather condition and any road. The latest generation of Enduro Street tires, featuring new compounds, profiles, structure and tread pattern for unmatched levels of stability, safety on wet and mileage. Improved wet grip and stability. Improved mileage over previous Tourance EXP. Ideal choice for the latest generation adventure touring bikes. Original equipment on the new BMW R 1200 GS. Tire Properties: Optimized tread pattern has the effect of wear regularity providing improved mileage. Differentiated grooves layout and shape give water evacuation – the compound is always in contact with the road – for superior feeling of safety. Technical Data: Steel Radial – Innovative belt structure, with a single ply of steel cords wrapped at 0deg around a radial carcass. Patented technology by Metzeler for both front and rear high performance tires. Steel features a higher stiffness than the traditional textile material used and also reduces tire weight. A steel belted radial reduces the dynamic deformation of the tire under centrifugal forces giving the tire excellent high-speed stability. Steel is an excellent conductor, therefore providing a more uniform heat distribution which allows higher mileage and wear characteristics are more uniform. Metzeler Advanced Winding – “Metzeler Advanced Winding” is a patented system for optimum spacing between the cords of the 0deg steel belt. In certain sections of the tire, the steel cords are wound with different spacing depending on the performance requirements on that particular area of the tire. On both front and rear tire the spacing is wider in the crown area for more elasticity and self-damping. For sections of the tire used for mid-lean, there is increased stiffness to support fast cornering. MBS-Radial – This symbol identifies a tire with radial carcass and diagonal belt using MBS technology. The radial carcass allows the construction of a low-section tire for enhanced cornering stability and reduced weight, while the diagonal belt limits tire deformation at high speed.
