Described as the tyre brand's "first track for enduro and off-road discipline lovers," the 6-kilometer long Metzeler Off-Road Park is opening at Pietramurata, Trentino (north-east of Italy).
Intended for all enduro and two wheel off-road discipline lovers, it is designed as an initiative to reinforce and celebrate Metzeler's claim to be "regarded as the specialist enduro tyre brand thanks to the quality and performance of our MCE 6-Days Extreme tyres, 26 titles in the FIM Enduro World Championship since 2005, and eight consecutive titles in the FIM SuperEnduro World Championship".
Located not far from Lake Garda, guaranteeing mild temperatures throughout the year, Metzeler say they will "offer the opportunity to use off-road motorcycles even in winter without the worry of finding unfavourable weather conditions such as fog or snow.
"The route of the track has been designed to recognise different skill levels. The nearly 6-km in length were built with technical sections, logs and a wooded section to make the track as natural as possible.
"At the Metzeler Off-Road Park motorcyclists will also have the opportunity to train even at night thanks to a modern artificial lighting system. The track has been designed to accommodate in particular enduro riders, but also those who practice Trial, MiniCross, Quad and Bike Trial will be welcome in this multi-purpose facility".
The facility is designed to deliver a "360° service, starting from the 500 square metre building which houses the Metzeler Lounge, a relaxation area that is able to accommodate the journalists present during the races which will take place - among events already confirmed is the second edition of the Extreme Enduro race "The Wall" scheduled for July 23, 2016 in which the most important riders of the international enduro world will compete, and European Trial Championship on April 2-3, the Beta Trial trophy on May 29 and the final of the KTM Enduro Trophy on October 9, 2016".
Metzeler say the facility will also offer a "well-stocked clothing store, a sales point for off-road motorcycles from leading manufacturers, bike rentals, trial and enduro schools with federal technicians, storage for bikes and quality locker rooms with showers, restaurants, camping and a nearby hotel.
The facility is close to the "Circuito del Ciclamino", which is a stop for the FIM Motocross World Championship.
