The Metzeler TOURANCE NEXT 2 130/80R17 65V is a premium summer motorcycle tyre designed for touring riders who split time between tarmac and light gravel approaches. It is ideal for long-distance touring where a mix of wet and dry performance, comfort and stability are required. The tread compound is optimised for even wear and extended mileage while keeping a high level of wet grip to maintain confidence in varying weather. The central tread profile and flexible carcass deliver a broad contact patch through lean angles for precise steering response and reassuring cornering stability on sweeping B-roads. Advanced silica compound enhances grip without penalising rolling resistance, helping maintain longevity and fuel-efficient cruising. Deep lateral grooves support water evacuation and reduce braking distance in damp conditions.

Belts and ply architecture are tuned to balance compliance with stability, providing controlled deformation under load for predictable behaviour under braking and acceleration. The tyre construction emphasises resistance to heat build-up and consistent performance across long rides. Touring-focused design also favours ride comfort, minimising vibration and tyre noise for extended stints in the saddle.

For riders this tyre offers a reliable blend of grip, mileage and riding comfort that suits long-distance journeys and daily commuting alike.
