Replacement tyres for your adventure bike can be a bit of a minefield.
My 2022 R1250GS has previously worn the Michelin Road 6's, a very good tyre, but I have now replaced them with the new for 2022, Metzeler Tourance Next 2's.
These are my initial findings , comment please if you have them, mileage etc as I haven't done many miles with them.
The tyre has been specifically designed for the adventure bike market, for riders who spend MOST of their time on tarmac, with a little excursion onto gravel etc.
Are they any good?

Replaced Mich Anakee 3 and then Metz Roadtec 01's with these, after 3000 miles on the GS I can't fault them. Living in the NE of England, in the dry they can really be hustled on tight twisty roads, (Hartside Pass, Wales, Lakes, Scotland, Ireland), and very confidence inspiring in the wet. A very wet at times 5 day Ireland trip on these posed no issues whatsoever, I honestly road as normal, they leave a nice dry line on the road proving they do their thing very well. Unless they update these I'll be sticking with them.

I just purchased a 2022 R1250GS and plan to replace the 50/50 tires with Metzler Tourance Next 2. Your reviews are very helpful and have been my "go to" source for anything BMW. Much appreciated!

Had them on two of my GS Adventures, i cant wait for my Bridgstones to wear out so i can put another set on, absolutely love the Metzelers.

Just fitted these to my 2021 GS TE from Anakee's which it came with, changed at around 5,700 miles and so far have done around just over 300 miles and LOVE them. Corner confidence / lean angle has hugely improved. I can't say that I personally notice any road noice difference, perhaps slightly. I would definitely recommend them too.

I'm considering the same on my 1250 GSA. nice video.

@PrinceyBhoy 9 ай бұрын

Changed over to these 500 miles ago from the factory supplied Anakee Adventures, difference is night and day in terms of confidence and road noise which has reduced dramatically. Thanks for the recommendation, couldn't be happier. 👍

Have had these tyres on a couple of my GSes. Currently running a Tourance next 1 on the front and a 2 on the rear. Have around 7500 miles on them and the rear is just starting to square off. The 7500 miles included a 4300 mile trip from Northern Ireland to Dubrovnik through Holland, Germany, Austria and Slovenia. Returning through Italy and France. Great tyre in both dry and Wet conditions

I haven't used those tyres but on my 2021 GS Rallye with 59,000kms I have used the original Anakees, 2 sets of Metzeler Roadtec 01s, 1 set of Road 6s and I currently have a set of Trailmax Missions on. All tyres have been good, most average 10,000kms but the Trailmax are a standout. They have 15,500kms on them and are nowhere near worn out. They also steer and hold a line the best of all of the tyres. They are extremely stable, quiet, haven't slipped on me yet and are generally brilliant. I used them on a recent 14,000km ride part way around Australia and they are a very good long distance tyre. It's always interesting to hear different riders rave or criticise different tyres. Overall, the average tyre available these days is far better than the average rider and only a very small percentage would go anywhere near using all of the potential of their tyres. We are spoilt rotten with choice :)

I had these for about 10k km on my Tiger 900 GTP, and I loved them in the dry. These were OK in the wet, but I felt that the Continental Trail Attack 3 was much more confidence inspiring in the wet. Now I've swapped to a GS and this came with Michelin Road 5 trails and they feel similar to the Tourance Next 2. Will likely swap to the Trail Attack 3 when the time comes.

Just ordered a set to replace my OEM Battlax tires on the 1250 GS. Never been a fan of them, and had the Next 2s on a rental bike I rode all through Morocco last fall on mountain twisties in high winds, 130 kph on crowded highways and some gravelly back roads - inspired confidence all around. Looking forward to the new tires. Thanks for the video!

@gsd32i 2 ай бұрын

Really impressed with these tyres still and no drifting to the left like my previous tyres did.😁

@terenceokeeffesmotorcyclestuff 9 ай бұрын

By the sounds of it a great improvement on the last design which wore trapezoidal on the front and were horrendously noisy on the Tiger 1200. Worth a look for my next tyre as the Anakee Adventure’s on my current GS don’t instil too much confidence in the wet.

I traveled 17,000 km with the Africa twin ADV 2022 model and had to change it due to a split in my rear tire. During this period, these tires did not fall out of line even once and I was very satisfied, for this reason I bought a second set. Metzeler tourance Next 2 I think I can say it's the best in this regard.

I rate mine very highly , although some folk say they are not very good in the wet! I think they are very good in the wet AND dry and have had no issues with them. Great tyre👍

Had my new 1250GS for a couple of months, it came with Bridgestone A41's. My only issue is the amount of road noise (roar) from the front on certain road surfaces, was considering changing to Michelin Road 6's but now watching this video with interest.

@DanTube2010 9 ай бұрын

They should become less noisy with wear and the front usually takes longer to wear in.

I have them on my GS Adventure, and I can't wait for them to wear out so I can put Metzelers on.!!

Ahoj na Metzelerech také jezdím a jsou opravdu super. Chci se zeptat na díly od Wunderlichu, které jste již namontoval. Které by jste už nesundal a které naopak vyhodil. Dík za info ..

@gsd32i 8 ай бұрын

Ahoj, jediné, co jsem sundal z kola, jsou tyčové podpěry. Myslím, že by byly opravdu dobré, kdybys byl vysoký. Jsem průměrná výška. Zjistil jsem, že jsou příliš uvolněné, pokud jsem se chtěl dostat do režimu sportovní jízdy, jestli víte, co tím myslím. Doufám, že to pomůže. Kvalita vybavení je opravdu dobrá.

Hoping my New R1300 GS comes with these fitted I have told the dealer he needs to make it happen as My 1250 lost out on the Tyre lottery as it arrived with Michelin Ananke ADV tyre's, I personally do not like Michelin Motorcycle tyres from years of riding and bad tyre experience, I tried them hated them and swapped for Metzeler Roadtech 01's within 300 miles the Metzeler's were night and day.

Now that you’ve had these on the bike for a decent amount of time what’s the current review? Would you buy again, or do you hanker for something different?

@gsd32i Ай бұрын

Hi. Just returned from a mini tour of the Normandy Landing Beaches. Dry and wet weather(not much) and the tyres were great, as they have always been. Loaded up with my SW Motec Trax hard cases, didn't even know they were there, as I chucked it around the roundabouts. Stable as anything and NO drifting to the left, like my previous tyres. Absolutely brilliant tyres.....but that is just my opinion .

I really enjoyed the R6's and thrashed them as best I could, with no moments...I have only had the Next 2's on for a few hundred miles and early days , buy very impressed so far. They did give me quite a bit of grip when I played on the gravel section, which impressed me. Always been a Metzeler fan boy, had them on my gsxr's and fireblades when I tracked them. My Speed Twin 1200 now has the M9RR's on them, so looks like I am now a Metzeler fan boy again.😂
