Munich (Germany), 25 January 2023 – This year the Metzeler brand has organized a seven- stage tour that crosses Europe with the aim to get closer to the enthusiasts of the custom world and introducing them to the Metzeler tire range designed for these motorcycles.
The Metzeler Custom Tour, the name of the initiative, will start from MBE Motor Bike Expo in Verona over the weekend and end with Wheels & Waves at Lido di Camaiore in October, stopping off at some of the most famous and iconic European motorcycle rallies.
