Metzeler tyres partnering Harley-Davidson in 120th anniversary celebration in Budapest

Motorcycle tyre brand Metzeler will be an official event partner at the European Harley-Davidson 120 Anniversary celebration in Budapest on 22-25 June. Metzeler will have a booth in the Harley-Davidson Village dedicated to its Cruisetec and ME888 Marathon Ultra tyres for the latest generation of cruisers. The brand will also offer free tyre pressure check-ups, as well as tyre sales and fitments at the event. Metzeler will also promote other initiatives, such as its sponsorship of the official Custom Bike Show on Friday 23 June – a competition for the most beautiful bikes in different categories. Metzeler will be the promoter of three special awards: Best in Show; the Metzeler People’s Choice Award for the most beautiful motorcycle chosen by a popular jury; and the Metzeler Judges’ Choice, rewarding a specialist jury’s favourite customisation.

At the Metzeler booth, during the four days, an artist will create a celebratory peanut tank dedicated to Harley-Davidson’s 120 years which will subsequently be auctioned for charity together with the other tanks created during the Metzeler Custom Tour.

Metzeler calls the event the “most important European motorcycle rally of the year,” anticipating that many enthusiasts will flock to celebrate the anniversary of the Milwaukee motorcycle manufacturer.

The 2023 Metzeler Custom Tour will stop at a total of seven motorcycle rallies and events in Europe, targeting increased exposure of the brand and its tyre range to customer motorcycle enthusiasts. Metzeler already participated in events such as MBE Motor Bike Expo in Italy, Warsaw Motorcycle Show in Poland, and Hamburg Harley Days in Germany. The next scheduled events after the Harley-Davidson anniversary in Budapest, are the two Wheels & Waves in France and Italy, and the European Bike Week in Austria.
