Metzeler has developed a tire for modern and powerful cruisers, custom bikes and heavy touring motorcycles, the Cruisetec.
Tires for powerful cruisers – Metzeler Cruisetec
The motorcycle tire should provide excellent grip and traction, whether in the curve or on the straight. The rear tire has a bi-compound blend. This means that a softer rubber has been used on the outside of the tire area, which increases the grip in an inclined position.
Compared to other V-Twin tires, the Cruisetec has a greater curvature of the tire contour, so the tire is rounder. That makes it even more agile when cornering. Due to the adapted tire contour, it should also run more evenly and provide consistent performance over the entire service life.
The new design should give a smooth and easy ride. The driver should therefore find it very easy to make a precise line choice.
Due to the silica content of the tire has a short warm-up time, as well as a good grip in the dry and wet.
The Metzeler Cruisetec will be available from January 2019 in the following sizes:
