Metzeler Cruisetec rear tire—160/70B17 79V

Metzeler is one of the oldest motorcycle tire manufacturers in the world with production dating back to 1892. They've channeled that experience into a set of tires you might want to consider the next time you're due for a set of buns: the Cruisetec. The Cruisetec tire sports an aggressive tread pattern and dual-compound rubber. Dual-compound tires put softer rubber at the edges of the tire, so you get extra bite when you're buried deep in the corners and longer-lasting rubber down the center of the tire to hold up to long miles out on the slab.

What's that translate to? Cruisetec offers primo handling no matter the weather. Its stiff carcass is practically tailor-made for big-inch, performance cruisers. With a set of Metzeler Cruisetecs, everyone will notice the modern tread pattern and you'll notice the high silica content the first time you get caught in wet weather—the first symptom you'll notice is a big increase in confidence!
