We\u2019ve long known that Dunlops have been well suited to heavyweight American bikes because of the strength of the tyre\u2019s carcass, but now tyre manufacturers have cottoned on that it\u2019s not enough to recommend a few extra PSI, and are targeting the sector.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Metzeler Cruisetec is the latest arrival, claiming to enhance your motorcycles’ handling thanks to the combination of legendary Metzeler sport touring derived profiles mated to a muscular carcass, featuring \u201cperformance-oriented solutions and strong structural support features\u201d.<\/p>\n

In tyre-speak: \u201cThe combination of a sturdy tread pattern and constant-curvature contours with dual compound rear tires ensures even wear and enhanced contact patch. Sport-touring like tyre profiles ensure even wear and incredible stability in both straight line riding and side-to-side transitions, even with a passenger and give the rider effortless steering with a solid feeling up front no matter the pace.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Metzeler Cruisetec is designed to match or slightly exceed the mileage of OE V-Twin tyres while providing the rider with unmatched riding performance and comfort. Softer shoulder compounds on the dual compound rear tyres enhance confidence when pushing the limits. Internally, stiffer cords allow more room for thicker rubber, which offers enhanced damping properties.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe result is a reduction in the \u2018floating feeling\u2019 felt when exiting turns under hard accelerations and nearly eliminates \u2018groove wander\u2019 when riding on ran grooves or other rough conditions. High silica compounds paired with a forgiving carcass structure and water shedding tread pattern deliver outstanding confidence during inclement weather.<\/p>\n

\u201cDesigned with the future in mind, Cruisetec’s linear contact patch response works with all generations of rider aids such as ABS and traction control.<\/p>\n

In English: it\u2019s a tyre with a strong sidewall suited to a heavyweight, the dual-compound rear tyres have good grip in corners thanks to softer compounds at the shoulders but good mileage because the compound is harder in the centre, and the tread pattern will channel surface water away efficiently to give the compound chance to get a grip. Everything else is a given \u2026 actually, so is most of that.<\/p>\n

In real world terms: if you like Metzeler\u2019s compounds \u2013 and plenty do \u2013 you can now buy a pair that have been designed for an American heavyweight.<\/p>\n
