The Metzeler ME888 Marathon Ultra is the best partner for long and safe travelling on cruisers, tourers and their custom versions. To achieve this target, Metzeler designers combined the specifications which determine the characteristics of tyres: profile, structure, tread pattern and compound. The shape features a flat and wide geometry that conveys and dissipates the stress generated under the footprint toward the sidewall reducing the fatigue and wear process.
To increase wear regularity, the transversal grooves of the tread pattern are discontinued by 'compound bridges', resulting in a more solid and stiffer tread design that reduces the stress transmitted to the belts and carcass plies. 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 mileage.
Whilst the production of Metzeler tyres began in 1892, the company goes back even further. Founded by Robert Friedrich Metzeler in 1863, the company began with the manufacture of weatherproof clothing and sports equipment, amongst other items. Since 1979, however, Metzeler have focused almost entirely on motorcycle tyres and now produce one of the most comprehensive ranges of bike tyres on the market. Although acquired by Pirelli in 1986, Metzeler remain both independent and highly focused in their mission to meet the needs and expectations of todays motorcyclist. To help achieve this end, they're proud to say that the majority of Metzeler staff are bikers, which can only be a good thing!
