CRUISETEC 260/40 VR 18 M/C 84V Rear Radial Tubeless

【Metzeler 3656900 Cruisetec 260/40 VR 18 M/C 84V Rear Radial Tubeless Motorcycle Tire On-Road Cruiser Heavyweight Custom CRUISETEC】
【A cruiser tire that makes you look forward to cornering!】

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

・Exceptional handling, from line acquisition to line maintenance, just as you want it
Cruisetec strongly supports the bike's handling performance with an optimized carcass and profile. It provides excellent comfort and performance even when used on large, heavy cruisers.
・Comfortable and communicative of road conditions in various situations, including wet roads
The rear tire, featuring a dual compound, contains a high silica content to support rapid tire warm-up. The grip performance from the tire 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 amounts of liquid polymers and plasticizers to maintain flexibility, achieves an innovative contact patch and comfortable performance.
・Enjoy excellent cornering grip
The rear tire, with its innovative and appropriately laid-out compounds, 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 lifespan
The combination of a solid tread pattern and a dual compound on the rear averages out wear progression, reducing the tendency for the tire to wear flat and square. It maintains a uniform curve shape and comfortable cornering performance. By homogenizing the tire's contour and round shape, comfortable handling is maintained whether riding solo, with a passenger, or with heavy luggage. Cruisetec achieves a tire lifespan equivalent to tires standard on V-twin models through its dual compound, but it wears while maintaining a high level of performance, including cornering performance, 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 during slow riding.
・Solid Front-End Feel
As a structural component of the tire, we adjusted the strength by combining hard cords and thick rubber, resulting in tire rigidity that is flexible yet firmly grips the road. This achieved both damper performance from the tire itself and the securing of a contact patch. This performance is especially effective when driving on wet or rough roads.
【Safety from Relaxed Driving】

・Optimal response on wet roads
The combination of silica compound, carcass, and tread pattern provides riders with a sense of security even on wet roads.
By optimizing the tire contact patch, we've gained performance headroom, 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 ages.
