Metzeler ME 888 Marathon Ultra - 150/80 17 (72H)

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.
