Metzeler Tourance Rear Tire

Description

Dual Purpose tire developed and tuned for the big, modern street-oriented Enduro bikes. Improved carcass structures for enhanced straight line stability at high speed with smooth rolling characteristics for long distance journeys. Maximum mileage on the street and great traction also on light off-road surfaces thanks to the specific compound. Great grip with light and precise handling make riding easier in all weather conditions. Technical Data: Steel Radial: Innovative belt structure with a single ply of steel cords wrapped around a radial carcass at 0deg. Patented high performance technology by Metzeler for both front and rear tires. Steel features a higher stiffness than textile and this allows the reduction of the tire weight. Steel radial belt reduces the dynamic deformation of the tire under centrifugal forces giving the tire an excellent high-speed stability. Thanks to the more uniform heat distribution, mileage is increased and wear characteristics are more uniform. MBS-Radial: This symbol identifies a tire with radial carcass and diagonal belt using MBS technology. The radial carcass allows the construction a low section tire for enhanced cornering stability and reduced weight, while the diagonal belt limits tire deformation for high speed performance. 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. On the shoulder area on the rear tire, the spacing is again wider for safe feedback and control when riding towards full lean.
