In order to give the best possibility to test the new Feelfree Wintec, Metzeler organised the international press launch as a on-road tour in North Europe.
The objective was to simulate a typical scooter usage in urban and extra-urban contests.
Starting with the city, participants had to exit Copenhagen and then through  Malmo bridge and a fast highway, they reached twisty and nice roads in countryside, getting to the circuit of Knutstorp in order to discover technical features on wet and challenging proving grounds.

Metzeler is brand leader in 2-wheel market, thanks to its high technological products and continuous research of innovative solutions.

Metzeler's objective is to meet all customers' needs, analyzing their particular desires and habits of use.

The 2-wheel specialist wants to exploit its experience and know how also in the developing scooter segment, creating new functional solutions and additional opportunity of use thanks to its high level technology available for the end-users.

Scooter is a trendy way of movement, to exit quickly from urban traffic during daily use and to enjoy an out-of-town journey during the week-end.
Scooter means freedom, independence and autonomy. It means the possibility to better exploit time and to live in a more free way .
For this reason Metzeler developed Metzeler Wintec, an innovative technology with whom it's possible to face seasonality problem and create a new concept of mobility: safety feeling, predictability, maximum performance also in cold and wet conditions.
The first challenge was to apply this technology to the scooter segment giving the rider the choice to ride during the cold period of the year, when normally they would choose an alternative mode of transport. Wet and cold tarmac, low temperatures, slippery leaves: with new Metzeler Feelfree Wintec riders do not need to abandon scooter and they can continue to use it during the winter. A new usage opportunity, a longer seasonality: Metzeler creates not only a new product but a new way of use.

Metzeler Feelfree Wintec is the first application of this new concept: the first high performance radial cold weather tyre in the market place.

Metzeler means continuous commitment to develop new mobility solutions
