The Metzeler TOURANCE NEXT 2 R 150/70R18 70V is a premium touring motorcycle tyre aimed at riders who demand long distance stability and precise road manners. It is designed for enduro and adventure bikes used mainly on tarmac where confident grip and refined handling are essential. This version focuses on combining durable mileage with high levels of traction in variable weather. Wet grip is enhanced by a silica‑rich compound and an optimised tread geometry that maintain adhesion in rain. Cornering stability is delivered through an advanced casing that keeps the contact patch consistent during lean angles.

The tyre architecture provides a controlled flex that improves steering response while preserving ride comfort on long trips. Multi‑compound construction balances even wear with predictable braking distance and sustained performance as temperatures change. Grooves and siping assist water evacuation to reduce aquaplaning risk and keep feedback clear in damp conditions. Rolling resistance is managed without sacrificing grip to ensure sensible fuel use over touring distances.

For the touring rider this tyre offers exceptional longevity and surefooted handling on A‑roads and motorways. The result is confident cornering, precise steering feel and extended mileage between changes, making it well suited to UK long‑distance riding.
