PERFORMANCE

[15:00, 30/01/2024] +91 94815 24585: Ultra mileage

Metzeler ME888 MARATHON™ Ultra is the best pa for long and safe travelling on cruiser, tourers and custom versions.

To achieve this targets, Metzeler designers finely combined the specifications which determine the characteristics of tires: profile, structure, tread patte and compound.

The structure shape features a flat and wide geomet that conveys and dissipates toward the sidewall the stress generated under the footprint, reducing the fa and the wear process.

To increase wear regularity, the transversal grooves

Also the edges of grooves are critical areas for wear regularity. ME888 groove walls have different inclination to ensure the best operating angle in every position. The polymers of the compound are abrasion resistant, providing higher resistance to wear and hence high

The tread pattern of ME888 MARATHON T™ Ultra is an evolution of that of ME880′ with the target to ensure a high level of water evacuation whilst increase wear uniformity across the whole tread.

Moreover, a relevant content of silica in the compound formulation ensures chemical grip on wet surfaces.

Great handling, line taking and holding

CRUISETECT™ enhances machine handling thanks to the combination of sport-touring derived profiles and robust carcasses. In a segment dominated by large and heavy motorcycles, the strong structural support still features the conformability of performance-oriented technological solutions.

Immediate response at all stages also in wet conditions

Dual-compound rear sizes with a high rate of silica promote fast warm-up and chemical grip on wet asphalt
[16:20, 30/01/2024] +91 94815 24585: whilst the tread pattern design delivers increased mechanical grip. The new compound recipes are coupled with innovative structural elements whilst the combination of liquid polymers with the latest generation of plasticizers maximise footprint conformability.

Enjoy enhanced cornering grip

The innovative compounds and their layout on the rear tyre blend performance into tyre strength, required by the big motorcycles with plenty of torque.

CONSISTENCY

A consistent perfection

Handling preserved throughout the entire tyre lifespan

The combination of a solid tread pattern with constant- curvature contours and dual-compound layout ensures even wear and a constant area of the contact patch when moving from the upright to lean. This preserves the tyre contour thanks to wear evenness, and also improves linear handling and side-to-side transitions throughout tyre lifespan – whether during enthusiastic solo riding or whilst carrying a passenger.

CRUISETECT™ is designed to match the mileage of stock V-Twin tyres, but the consistency of its performance

SMOOTH RIDING

Smooth and effortless riding

Unbeatable line holding

The combined elasto-plasticity of the rear tyre side compound strips is developed to enhance confidence and stability when pushing to the limit and to deliver a neutral and effortless steering when riding leisurely.

Solid front-end feeling

Stiffer cords with lower end count allow more room for thicker rubber interstices, which offers enhanced damping properties. The result is a greater conformability of the contact patch that minimizes the feeling of a floating front-end when exiting turns and unsettling situations like ‘groove wander’ often perceived when riding on rain grooves or bumpy roads

CONFIDENCE

Silica compound coupled with conformable carcass and tread pattern contribute to deliver outstanding confidence also in wet conditions;

Linear contact-patch response with all generations of electronic rider aids

CRUISETECT™ is capable of effectively working with all generations of electronic rider aids. It’s compounds and structure are tuned to soften contact patch pulsations experienced, particularly with old ABS systems
