A dedication to female motorcycle pride

December 21, 2016

Metzeler has recently revealed the images for the 2017 Metzeler calendar titled Natural Born Lady Rider. This calendar is dedicated to the female motorcycle rider and depicts inspiring and influential female riders of all ages and their passion for riding motorcycles.

This Metzeler initiative celebrates the 125th anniversary of the productive activity of motorcycle tires, as it continues with the theme of the campaign, Natural Born Lady Rider, launched last November with a movie marathon lasting 48-hours. Focused on women motorcyclists: from the movies shown at Deus Leica Theatre in Milan comes a full color calendar, produced in a limited edition with the collaboration of “Somewhere”, showing professional athletes and pure bike enthusiasts, from all over the world yet united by their love for motorcycling.
