METZELER presented last week to the international press the new SPORTEC Klassik tyre at the International INTERMOT Show, which runs from October 1-5, in the city of Cologne. SPORTEC Klassik is the new METZELER tyre in the Classic segment for owners of motorcycles built from the 70s. A segment METZELER has always shown a great deal of attention, as proven by the current Vintage and Classic range which includes products such as the Perfect ME 11, Perfect ME 77, ME 22, Block C and Lasertec. Bound to a technology that, although still valid, could not fully benefit from the rapid development of the last decade, these motorcycles are often at a disadvantage compared to most modern machines equipped with the most sophisticated safety systems and cutting-edge tyres. The tyres of these machines have many diverse sizes which are now rarely used in new street and touring motorcycles, and for this reason they are often neglected in the design of new products by the tyre manufacturers. In recent years we have witnessed a growing trend; a revival of the motorcycles of that period. The motorcycles of the last 30 years of the 20th century have a new lease of life thanks to restoration or customization, thus giving rise to the Vintage trend, already very strong in the world of design and clothing.
