Metzeler Motorcycle Wheel 160/80-15 M/C 74S TT Me 888 Marathon Ultra

Exceptional longevity, performance Metzeler

Specifically designed to improve longevity and wet performance

Exceptional longevity

The Metzeler ME 888 MARATHON™ ULTRA is the best partner for long and secure rides on cruisers, tourers, and their custom versions.
To achieve these goals, the designers at Metzeler have combined the specifications that determine tire characteristics: profile, structure, tread pattern, and compound.
The structure's shape features a flat and wide geometry that directs and dissipates the stresses generated at the contact area towards the sides, thus reducing the wear process. To improve wear uniformity, the transverse grooves of the tread are discontinuous and interspersed with rubber bridges, creating a stiffer and stronger tread to reduce the stresses transmitted to the belt and carcass.
The edges of the grooves are critical areas for wear uniformity. The ribs of the ME 888 grooves 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.

Wet grip

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