METZELER - 3656900 - Cruisetec™ Tire
Metzeler positions the Cruisetec as the more performance-oriented half of its custom touring lineup, sitting alongside the Marathon 888 but tuned for riders who want sharper handling from a V-twin cruiser. This wide 260mm rear (84V load/speed rated) uses a dual-compound construction that balances real lateral and forward grip against long mileage, and extended tread grooves help with lean control and clearing water off the road. The chemically grippy silica compound is aimed squarely at wet-surface confidence, making this a rear tire for owners who want their big cruiser to actually handle, not just cruise.
