The Metzeler Cruisetec Radial Motorcycle Tyre gives your cruiser unprecedented levels of grip even in wet conditions as well as outstanding stability and handling without sacrificing the consistent performance and structure you expect.

The Cruisetec can enhance machine handling thanks to a combination of sport-touring derived profiles and robust carcasses. They have a strong structural support still features the conformability of performance-oriented technological solutions. The Rear Tyres are dual compound with a high rate of Silica to promote fast warm-up and chemical grip on wet asphalt whilst the tread pattern design delivers increased mechanical grip. The new compound recipes are coupled with innovative structural elements whilst the combination of liquid polymers with the latest generation of plasticizers maximise footprint conformability. The innovative compounds and their layout on the rear tyre blend performance into tyre strength, required by the big motorcycles with plenty of torque. The Tyre is capable of effectively working with all generations of electronic rider aids. It’s compounds and structure are tuned to soften contact patch pulsations experienced, particularly with old ABS systems.

These Tyres have a solid tread pattern with a constant-curvature contours and dual-compound layout which ensures even wear and a constant area of the contact patch when moving from the upright to lean. This preserves the tyre contour thanks to wear evenness and improves linear handling and side-to-side transitions throughout tyre lifespan – whether during enthusiastic solo riding or whilst carrying a passenger. The Tyres have also been designed to match the mileage of stock V-Twin tyres, but the consistency of its performance provides incomparable riding pleasure during its entire lifespan.

The Cruisetec Tyres have been constructed using elasto-plasticity in the rear tyre side compound strips which offer unbeatable line holding. This has been developed to enhance confidence and stability when pushing the bike to the limit and deliver a neutral and effortless steering when out on a leisure ride. The Tyres also have stiffer cords with a lower end count which allow more room for thicker rubber interstices, which offers enhanced damping properties. The result is a greater conformability of the contact patch that minimises the feeling of a floating front-end when exiting turns and unsettling situations like ‘groove wander’ often perceived when riding on rain grooves or bumpy roads.
