CRUISETEC 160/70 B 17 M/C 79V REINF Rear Belted Bias Tubeless

【METZELER 3576700 CRUISETEC 160/70 B 17 M/C 79V REINF Rear Belted Bias Tubeless Type Motorcycle Tire On-road Cruiser Large Heavyweight Custom CRUISETEC】
【The cruiser tire that makes you look forward to cornering!】

・The ultimate performance tire for cruisers and heavyweight motorcycles!
【Enjoy performance cruising】

・Exceptional handling, from initiating a line to maintaining it with ease.
The CRUISETEC strongly supports motorcycle handling performance with its optimized carcass and profile. Even when used on large, heavyweight cruisers, it provides excellent comfort and performance.
・Comfortable and communicative on various road conditions, including wet surfaces.
The rear tire features a dual-compound with a high silica content, which helps the tire warm up quickly. The grip performance from the tread pattern and tire shape, combined with the chemical (compound) grip performance, provides comfortable operation even on wet asphalt. A new compound formulation, which adjusts the proportion of liquid polymers and plasticizers—substances that maintain flexibility—has achieved revolutionary contact patch and comfort performance.
・Enjoy excellent cornering grip.
The rear tire, with its innovatively compounded and properly arranged elements, enhances tire performance and can handle the cornering demands of today's high-torque large motorcycles.
【Consistent Performance】

・Performance that lasts throughout the tire's life.
The combination of a solid tread pattern and dual compound on the rear averages wear progression, reducing the likelihood of the tire wearing flat and square. It maintains a uniform curve shape and comfortable cornering performance. By standardizing the tire's contour and round shape, comfortable handling is maintained whether riding solo, two-up, or with heavy luggage. The CRUISETEC achieves a tire life equivalent to tires standard on V-twin models through its dual-compound construction, while maintaining a high level of performance, including cornering, until the end of its lifespan.
【Smooth and Comfortable Riding】

・Stable line tracing.
The highly gripping side compound, achieved through the dual-compound design, was developed to enhance reliability and stability at the limit, while also providing neutral and comfortable handling performance during slow riding.
・Solid front-end feel.
As a structural component of the tire, we adjusted the strength by combining stiff cords with thick rubber, resulting in a tire rigidity that, while highly flexible, firmly grips the road surface. This has enabled damping performance within the tire and ensured a sufficient contact patch. This performance is especially evident when riding on wet or rough road surfaces.
【Safety Born from Relaxed Riding】

・Optimal response on wet roads.
The combination of silica compound, carcass, and tread pattern provides confidence to the rider even on wet roads.
Optimizing the tire contact patch has created additional performance margin, allowing for a relaxed response to the operation of various state-of-the-art ABS systems. This benefit applies not only to the latest models but also to models of various years.
