METZELER - 4283200 - Cruisetec™ Tire
With a low-profile 50-series sidewall and an 84V load/speed rating, this Cruisetec rear is built for cruiser riders who want a more aggressive stance and sharper handling than the wider, taller options in the line. It carries the same dual-compound rear construction for balancing lateral grip against mileage, plus the extended tread grooves and high-silica compound aimed at wet-surface confidence that define the Cruisetec range. Metzeler built this as the more performance-minded complement to the Marathon 888, for V-twin owners who want their cruiser to actually respond to input — not just roll comfortably.
