Metzeler celebrates 120 years of Harley-Davidson in Budapest
The tyre brand is the official event partner of the most important European motorcycle rally of the year and will be present with a booth at the Harley-Davidson Village and an onsite tyre check-up and change service.
The Metzeler brand will be present as an official event partner at the European Harley-Davidson 120 Anniversary celebration, which will take place in Budapest from June 22nd to 25th.
The German-born tyre brand will have a booth in the Harley-Davidson Village completely dedicated to Cruisetec and ME888 Marathon Ultra, the tyres designed for the latest generation of cruisers.
A free tyre pressure check-up will be offered at the Metzeler booth and, for motorcyclists who wish to do so, it will be possible to buy tyres and have them fitted directly during the rally, thanks to the Metzeler service present on site.
In addition to the important onsite presence, Metzeler will also promote a series of different initiatives. It will, in fact, be the sponsor of the official Custom Bike Show – scheduled for Friday 23rd of June – the competition which, based on creativity and the level of customisation, elects the most beautiful bikes in different categories. Metzeler will be the promoter of three special awards: the one for the Best in Show, the Metzeler People’s Choice Award for the most beautiful motorcycle chosen by a popular jury, and the Metzeler Judges’ Choice, assigned to the best customisation at the unquestionable judgment of the official jury of the event.
