Metzeler Roue de moto reinf 180/55 B 18 M/C 80H TL Cruisetec

Improved performance

The ideal V-Twin tire to enhance the performance of V-Twins from yesterday, today, and tomorrow

Enjoy the thrill of riding

Excellent handling and cornering grip

The CRUISETEC™ aims to improve the handling of V-Twins through a combination of sport-touring derived profiles and rigid carcasses. In a segment dominated by heavy machines, the structure remains characterized by performance-oriented technological solutions.

Maximum responsiveness, even on wet surfaces

The high silica content of the bi-compound rear tire allows for quick heating and excellent chemical grip on wet asphalt, while its tread pattern offers improved mechanical grip.
The new compounds are combined with innovative structural elements, while the blend of modern polymers and plasticizers optimizes the comfort of the ground contact.

Enjoy better cornering grip

The innovative mixtures and their distribution on the rear tire combine performance and durability, providing more precision in corners for heavy machines with high torque.

Perfection and endurance

Consistent handling throughout the tire's lifecycle

The combination of a clean tread design, a constant curvature profile, and a bi-compound solution at the rear ensures uniform wear and a consistent ground contact area when leaning, while preserving the tire's profile - whether you're riding hard solo or relaxed two-up. The CRUISETEC™ is designed to meet the longevity needs of a V-Twin tire, but its consistent performance provides an incomparable riding pleasure throughout its lifespan.

Smooth and intuitive riding

Unbeatable directional stability

The elasticity provided by the shoulder rubber of the rear tire increases confidence in the tire and the stability offered at maximum lean angle. It gives the CRUISETEC™ a neutral handling, allowing for effortless riding, 100% enjoyment.
The new carcass features cables that are more spaced yet tighter to provide a thicker rubber layer, thus improving damping properties. This translates to a ground contact area that minimizes the floating effect of the front tire on corner exit or on surfaces with low grip.

Enhanced confidence and safety

The best in wet conditions

The silica-laden compound, combined with an innovative carcass and tread pattern, instills confidence in its tires, even on wet roads.

The CRUISETEC™ perfectly adapts to all electronic driving assistance systems

Its compounds and structure are designed to reduce vibrations, particularly from older ABS systems.
