Metzeler ME 888 Marathon Ultra 90/90R21 54H Motorcycle Tire 4194700

Motorcycle Tire – Metzeler ME 888 Marathon Ultra 90/90-21 54H

The Metzeler ME 888 Marathon™ Ultra (also known as the "Triple Eight") is the evolution of the legendary Marathon series, specifically developed for heavy Cruiser, Custom, and Touring motorcycles. This tire focuses on maximum mileage while ensuring stability and safety throughout its service life, making it one of the most popular choices among V-Twin enthusiasts.
 

Key Features:

• Ultra-Long Mileage: A specialized rubber compound and improved tread pattern provide exceptional wear resistance, allowing for significantly more kilometers compared to standard tires.

• Irregular Wear Prevention: "Compound bridges" offer the tread extra support and stability, which helps prevent uneven wear (cupping) and vibrations.

• Excellent Water Drainage: Longitudinal and overlapping grooves effectively evacuate water from the contact patch, ensuring a safe ride in the rain and reducing the risk of aquaplaning.

• Stability and Handling: The construction is optimized to maintain stability at high speeds and while maneuvering a fully loaded motorcycle.

• Classic Aesthetics: The Blackwall sidewall and modern tread design perfectly complement the look of Custom motorcycles.
