Metzeler Roue de moto 160/70 B 17 M/C 79V TL Me 888 Marathon Ultra

Exceptional longevity, performance Metzeler

Specifically designed to improve longevity and performance in wet conditions

Exceptional longevity

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

Grip in wet conditions

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 enhancing wear uniformity across the entire tread. Additionally, a high percentage of silica in the compound formulation ensures chemical grip on wet surfaces.
