Metzeler equips the new Husqvarna TR650

Doublet Metzeler in Jerez de la Frontera where, on the occasion of the presentation to the press of the highly anticipated Husqvarna TR650 Road and Terra, the "two-wheel specialist", takes to the track with two of its best models dedicated to street enduro and pure enduro: the version Street it will in fact be marketed with original equipment tyres Tourance EXP in sizes 110/80 R19 at the front and 140/80 R17 at the rear while the model Terra will be gummed with i Metzeler Enduro 3 Sahara in sizes 90/90 21M/C front and 140/80 17M/C rear.

For every motorcyclist who loves enduro Metzeler is a brand that represents value, an image of excellence and a tradition of success.

The tire Tourance EXP supplied with the version Street of the TR650 stands out for ensuring maximum performance in "sport touring" driving. With an aggressive design and reference performance, Tourance EXP responds to needs such as stability, durability and wet grip thanks to the advanced Metzeler technology applied to the various components of this product. Compound, structure, tread design: all elements have been designed to offer maximum performance.

Metzeler technicians have developed a mix which guarantees maximum performance in all conditions and rapid entry to temperature. This is thanks to the use of new generation polymers, which ensure the tire has less rigidity when it is cold and greater - improving stability - when it is warm. Its excellent wet behavior is the result of the use of a particular ratio between carbon black and silica, which improves grip on cold, damp and wet surfaces without affecting dry behavior. The high mileage it was obtained thanks to chemical elements which, acting during the baking of the tyre, allow the internal structure of the compound to be strengthened. Finally the application of “Cap & Base” technology, with the use of compounds with variable stiffness from the structure to the tread, allows the stresses suffered by the tire to be better distributed and therefore increases stability.

La zero degree spiral steel belt both front and rear, associated with a lightweight and optimized carcass structure, ensures the maximum level of handling and precision at high speeds, with a contact surface optimized in every situation.

The front and rear tires have been designed to offer, with their joint work, the best result which translates into excellent stability both during braking and at high speeds and greater precision when cornering, thanks to the "ABA" scheme according to which the The steel weft is arranged in such a way as to ensure variable rigidity between the central and lateral parts of the tread, offering a longer contact area and a very progressive profile which guarantees maximum precision at every lean angle. The use of this solution made this set immune to possible shimmy (flickering of the front wheel) and kickback (backlash on the front) problems.

Il tread pattern it was created to ensure maximum performance both on road and off-road. The large blocks allow for a large contact area, while their design has been designed to maximize water dispersion on wet asphalt and at the same time, thanks to the accentuated angles, ensure off-road traction. This together with features of silence and comfort.

The TR650 Earth instead he can count on Enduro 3 Sahara, enduro tires with high performance on the road but with an offroad attitude, suitable for motorcyclists continually seeking maximum riding pleasure on any terrain.

These tires are characterized by a conventional structure with a Rayon fiber carcass that reduces weight and improves offroad behavior. The reduction of the angle between the various layers of the carcass allows for a more compact tire (80 at the rear and 90 at the front) with a reduction in deformations and greater directional stability. The benefits for the motorcyclist translate into greater stability when cornering, more precise trajectories and high comfort.

The special mix of the Enduro 3 Sahara was developed to offer perfect grip on the road and excellent off-road traction thanks also to the very compact and resistant structure of the blocks. Precisely the geometric profile of dowels of the tread has been developed to obtain a high self-cleaning capacity of the footprint area: this allows the motorcyclist to take more precise trajectories, avoiding slipping on muddy terrain.

Il tread design optimized, with a particular longitudinal and lateral distribution of the blocks, it guarantees more support in the shoulder area for better grip during the lean phase and safer behavior when pushing the vehicle to the limits. The “V” shape of the block distribution with the continuous development of the grooves offers excellent stability at high speeds, good water drainage and excellent traction on off-road terrain.
