The Metzeler Tourance is manufactured with highly efficient mixing technology which assists the tyre's compounds to combine and form the structure.

The Variable Wide grooves allow the tyres to channel the water away from the surface of the tyres and provides high resistance to aquaplaning. The Tyre has a 0 degree belted structure on the tubeless radial, which is associated with a lightweight carcass to promote stability.
The tyres provide high stability on high speeds by uniform distribution of forces to the road surface and optimizes the contact patch of the tyre to suit every condition thrown at the tyres.
The steel cords are winded to create a differentiated spacing which is MAW patented technology, it is wider in the crown area for high elasticity and to enhance self damping while the mid section is lean and has improved stiffness for helping the rider corner easily.
The patented MBS technology has created the all radial front tyres which has a diagonal belt feature for enhanced cornering and stability.
The strong tread blocks found on the surface of the tyre in the crown area ensures a compact rubber zone. It allows the motorcycle to transmit the torque from the engine to the road for maximum traction. The shape of the grooves between the blocks of tread pattern have been designed to dissipate the water from the contact patch for improved handling in wet conditions.
