METZELER CRUISETEC Tire

Excellent handling and cornering

The CRUISETEC™ aims to improve the handling of V-Twin motorcycles through a combination of profiles derived from Sport-touring and rigid carcasses. In a segment dominated by heavy machines, the structure remains characterized by performance-oriented technological solutions.

Maximum reactivity, even on wet roads

The high silica content of the dual compound rear tire allows for quick heating and excellent chemical grip on wet asphalt, while its tread pattern offers improved mechanical grip.

The new compounds are combined with innovative structural elements, while the combination of next-generation polymers and plasticizers optimizes ground contact comfort.

Enjoy better cornering grip

The innovative compounds and their distribution on the rear tire combine performance and resistance, offering more precision in corners to heavy machines with high torque.

Perfection and endurance

Preserved handling throughout the tire's life cycle

The combination of a streamlined tread pattern, a constant curvature profile, and a dual compound solution at the rear ensure uniform wear and a constant contact patch when leaning, while preserving the tire profile - whether riding solo aggressively or relaxed with a passenger. The CRUISETEC™ is designed to meet the longevity needs of a V-Twin tire, but the consistency of its performance provides unparalleled driving pleasure throughout its lifespan.

Smooth and intuitive driving

Unbeatable straight-line stability

The elasticity provided by the rear tire's shoulder compound increases confidence in the tire and the stability offered at maximum lean angle. It gives the CRUISETEC™ a neutral behavior and allows for effortless, 100% enjoyable driving.

The new carcass has more spaced but tighter cables, to offer a greater rubber thickness and therefore improved damping properties. This results in a contact patch that minimizes front tire float in corner exits or on low-grip surfaces.

Improved confidence and safety

Best in wet conditions

The silica-loaded compound, combined with innovative carcass and tread design, allows for confidence in your tires, even on wet roads.

The CRUISETEC™ perfectly adapts to all electronic driving aids

Its compounds and structure are designed to reduce vibrations, especially those from older ABS systems.
