Good motorcycle tires are not easy to produce. They need to incorporate speed, grip and performance on a variety of road surfaces and conditions. They need to be good in all conditions. Metzeler attacks the problem with technology.
At Metzeler high technology is the first step towards a successful product. Technical innovation has been the main driver for their strategy since 1892. The firm utilizes state-of-the-art technology, materials and testing facilities to build world-class product.
Metzeler’s uses a patented 0-degree steel belt construction that limits tire growth at speed and aids stability. The limited tire growth, adds Metzeler, means that custom builders can mount a fender as close as one-quarter inch from the tire’s maximum-diameter specs, perfect for that low-riding look.
The firm even builds Anna Nicole Smith-size donuts that deliver that bad-ass attitude in the Marathon 880 rubber for V-Twin customs. Reports indicate that even the fattie offers good motorcycle riding dynamics.
