CRUISETEC 240/40 VR 18 M/C 79V Rear Radial Tubeless

【METZELER 3577400 CRUISETEC 240/40 VR 18 M/C 79V Rear Radial Tubeless Type Motorcycle Tire for On-Road Cruiser Large Heavyweight Custom CRUISETEC】
【The Cruiser Tire That Makes You Look Forward to Cornering!】

・The ultimate performance tire for cruisers and heavy-duty vehicles!
【Enjoy Performance Cruising】

・Exceptional handling, from line-in to line-holding, precisely as you intend
The CRUISETEC strongly supports your bike's handling performance with its optimized carcass and profile. Even when used on large, heavy cruisers, it provides excellent comfort and performance.
・Comfortable and communicative on various road conditions, including wet surfaces
The rear tire, featuring a dual-compound, is infused with a high silica content, aiding in rapid tire warm-up. The grip performance from the tire's profile due to the tread pattern and the chemical (compound) grip performance provide comfortable operation even on wet asphalt. A new compound formulation, with adjusted proportions of liquid polymer and plasticizers, which maintain flexibility, achieves an innovative contact patch and comfortable performance.
・Enjoy excellent cornering grip
The rear tire, with its innovatively composed and appropriately laid out compound, 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 the rear dual-compound equalizes wear progression, reducing the likelihood of the tire wearing flat or square. It maintains a uniform curve shape and comfortable cornering performance. By uniformizing the tire's contour and round shape, it maintains comfortable handling whether riding solo, with a passenger, or carrying heavy luggage. The CRUISETEC achieves a tire life comparable to tires standard on V-twin models due to its dual-compound design, while maintaining a high level of performance, including cornering, throughout its wear until the end of its lifespan.
【Smooth and Comfortable Riding】

・Stable line tracing
The high-grip 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 and thick rubber, resulting in tire rigidity that is highly flexible yet firmly grips the road. This achieved both damping performance from the tire itself and ensured a sufficient contact patch. This performance is especially effective when driving on wet or rough roads.
【Safety Born from Relaxed Driving】

・Optimal response on wet surfaces
The combination of silica compound, carcass, and tread pattern provides riders with a sense of security even on wet roads.
By optimizing the tire's contact patch, the increased performance margin allows for versatile response to various ABS operations, from the latest models. This benefit is not limited to the latest models but can be obtained by mounting on various models of different years.
