Metzeler Motorcycle tire ME 888 Marathon Ultra Reinf R 18 M/C 82H TL

Exceptional longevity, performance Metzeler

Specifically designed to improve longevity and performance on wet surfaces

Exceptional longevity

The Metzeler ME 888 MARATHON™ ULTRA is the best partner for long and safe rides on cruisers, tourers, and their custom versions.
To achieve these goals, the designers at Metzeler have ultimately combined the specifications that determine the characteristics of the tyres: profile, structure, tread, and compound.
The shape of the structure is characterized by a flat and wide geometry that channels and dissipates the stresses generated under the contact area towards the sides, thus reducing the wear process. To enhance wear uniformity, the tread's transversal grooves are discontinuous and interspersed with rubber bridges, allowing for a sturdier and stiffer tread to reduce the stresses transmitted to the belt and carcass.
The edges of the grooves are critical zones for wear uniformity. The sidewalls of the grooves on the ME 888 have different inclinations to ensure the best operating angle in all positions.
The polymers in the compound resist abrasion, providing better wear resistance and increasing longevity.

Grip on wet surfaces

The tread of the ME 888 MARATHON™ ULTRA is an evolution of that of the ME 880 and aims to ensure excellent water evacuation while increasing wear uniformity across the entire tread. Moreover, a high percentage of silica in the compound formulation ensures chemical grip on wet surfaces.
