【METZELER 3577500 CRUISETEC 180/55 ZR 18 M/C 74W Rear Radial Tubeless Type for Motorcycles, On-Road, Cruiser, Heavyweight Bikes, Custom CRUISETEC】
【Cruiser Tires That Make You Look Forward to Cornering!】

・The ultimate performance tire for cruisers and heavyweight bikes!
【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. It provides excellent comfort and performance even when used on large, heavyweight cruisers.
・Comfortable and communicative even in various conditions, including wet roads
The rear tire, which employs a dual compound, incorporates a high silica content to support quick 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, adjusting the amounts of liquid polymer and plasticizer, which are materials that maintain flexibility, has achieved an innovative contact patch and comfortable performance.
・Enjoy superior cornering grip
The rear tire, with its innovatively designed compound layout, enhances tire performance and is compatible with 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 a dual compound at the rear averages wear progression and reduces the tire's tendency to wear flat and square. It maintains a uniform curved shape, preserving comfortable cornering performance. By uniforming the tire's contour and rounded shape, comfortable handling is maintained whether riding solo, with a passenger, or carrying heavy luggage. The CRUISETEC achieves a tire life equivalent to tires standardly equipped on V-twin models through its dual compound, while maintaining a high level of performance, including cornering, until the end of its lifespan.
【Smooth and Comfortable Riding】

・Stable line tracing
The high-grip side compound, achieved through the dual compound, was developed to enhance reliability and stability at the limit while also providing neutral and comfortable handling performance at slower speeds.
・Solid front-end feel
As the tire's structure, through strength adjustments combining rigid cords and thick rubber, we achieved a tire stiffness that is both highly flexible and firmly grips the road. This ensures damper performance from the tire and secures the contact patch. This performance is especially effective when riding on wet or rough roads.
【Safety from Relaxed Driving】

・Optimal response on wet roads
The combination of silica compound, carcass, and tread pattern provides confidence to the rider even on wet roads.
By optimizing the tire's contact patch, the increased performance margin allows for a relaxed response to various ABS operations, even on cutting-edge systems. This benefit is not limited to the latest models but can be experienced when installed on models of various years.
