TECHNOLOGY
Metzeler Wintec is the new German technology based on tread pattern, compound and structure; specifically optimized for wet and cold conditions and
without affecting any dry or warm performance.
It represents a modification of the habits and seasonality of urban vehicles, developing a special product with which it is possible to face variable weather
and to create a new concept of mobility.
From the end-user point of view, the benefits can be translated on, stability, handling and high contact feeling, along with a secure feeling even in bad
weather and road conditions.
Unique Tread Design
Sipes offer the best traction in wet conditions (center of the pattern) and contact feeling when turning (shoulders).
The shapes of the sipes have been engineered for assuring fast warm up time without inducing too much movement of the tread.
Compound
A proper patented process of mixing compounds allows adding properties of three different polymers with different glass transition temperatures.
This new patented technology ensures wet grip in very cold conditions (-10°C) and at the same time good mechanical resistance.
Summary of Key Characteristics
Tread pattern design optimized to increase traction, grip and reduce the risk of aquaplaning
Compounds characterized by incredible chemical grip and fast and uniform warm up
Tyre profile engineered for ensuring maximum stability in all load conditions
Carcass developed to accelerate warm up time of the tread compound
Metzeler has created not only a new product but a new way of use.
Metzeler Feelfree Wintec was the first application of this new concept: the first high performance radial cold weather tyre in the market place.
Scooter/Moped
Complete range dedicated to the 50 to 250 cc capacity bikes and scooters, developed
exploiting the experience of motorcycle products. Different pattern design and structures
tuned for different models, focusing always on:
Light handling and precise steering response provided through “single”-radius contour design
Comfortable riding combined with high mileage and uniform wear thanks to the resistant yet
flexible Nylon structure
Good grip both in dry and in wet conditions allowing safe and fun riding of your scooter in the
urban jungle
