The Metzeler Cruisetec rear motorcycle tire is designed for V-Twin riders who want a balanced combination of responsive handling, confident traction, and long-lasting touring performance. This rear tire uses a performance-oriented tread design and dual-compound construction to deliver strong lateral grip through corners while maintaining dependable forward traction and mileage during extended rides. With a load and speed rating of 81H, the Cruisetec is engineered for capable performance on compatible custom touring motorcycles.
Extended tread grooves help improve control while leaning and promote efficient water evacuation in wet conditions. A high-silica compound enhances chemical grip on damp pavement, helping provide more confidence when weather and road surfaces change. The reinforced construction supports the demands of larger V-Twin motorcycles, while the tread pattern is tuned to complement the handling characteristics of custom touring platforms. This Metzeler Cruisetec tire is an excellent choice for riders seeking a practical balance of performance, versatility, comfort, and distinctive riding character.
