Description

Metzeler introduces its new tyre designed for V-Twin/custom owners. The ME 888 Marathon Ultra 130/80 B17 65H Front is the designated successor to the Marathon ME 880, a tyre which is already very popular among customisers. It is valued both for its grip on dry and wet roads and for its high tyre mileage. Those who are familiar with the ME 880 will recognise the stability, agility, grip and excellent performance on wet roads.

The grooves of the tread are discontinuous and interspersed with rubber bridges to make the tread more resistant and harder, thus reducing the stresses transferred to the belt and the carcass.

5/5

Quality tyre. It hasn’t been run in yet because my collector’s custom (1994 Honda VFC 750) doesn’t go out in the rain 🤔

Good tyre. Despite its width, it behaves predictably and grips well.

So far, I've driven too few kilometres for a more detailed assessment of the tyre; up to now, I'm satisfied with it.

Review by Harleymaerde
4/5

Very well-balanced tyre that delivers a great riding feel with the heavyweight… also super stable when riding with a passenger. And to be honest, a Heritage simply has to have a whitewall! The performance offers more than a Harley can actually use. That’s why it always feels good.
