Exceptional longevity, Metzeler performance

Classic style with white sidewalls, enhancing the aesthetics of cruisers and touring bikes while benefiting from all the renowned performance of the ME 888 MARATHON™ ULTRA

Exceptional longevity

The Metzeler ME 888 MARATHON™ ULTRA is the best partner for long and safe rides on cruisers, tourers, and their custom versions.
To achieve these goals, the designers at Metzeler have combined the specifications that define tire characteristics: profile, structure, tread pattern, and compound.
The shape of the structure features a flat and wide geometry that attracts and dissipates stresses generated under the contact area towards the sidewalls, thus reducing wear. To improve wear regularity, the tread's transverse grooves are discontinuous and interspersed with rubber bridges, allowing for a stronger and stiffer tread pattern to reduce the stresses transmitted to the belt and carcass.
The edges of the grooves are critical areas for wear regularity. The angles of the grooves in the ME 888 have different inclinations to ensure the best working angle in all positions.
The polymers in the compound resist abrasion, thus providing better wear resistance and increasing longevity.

Grip in wet conditions

The tread of the ME 888 MARATHON™ ULTRA is an evolution of that of the ME 880 and aims to ensure excellent water evacuation by increasing wear uniformity across the entire tread. Additionally, a high percentage of silica in the compound formulation provides chemical grip on wet surfaces.
