Designed for powered rear-wheel motorcycle use, the Metzeler ME 888 Marathon Ultra Rear 85/0R16 77H delivers long-distance touring capability with clear role definition. This rear tyre suits heavy cruisers and tourers in the touring and long-haul segment where mileage and rider confidence matter most. It is tuned to provide a predictable contact patch at varying lean angles while supporting typical touring loads.

The tyre construction features a robust carcass and a compound optimized for durability, promoting even wear across the tread. Large circumferential grooves enhance water evacuation and help maintain consistent wet grip, while the profile and tread layout contribute to stable cornering behaviour and reliable steering response. Engineering choices balance rolling resistance and longevity without sacrificing wet performance.

For the rider this means extended service life and steady braking performance with a controlled braking distance on wet or damp roads. The design preserves driving comfort on long journeys and ensures confident cornering stability when carrying luggage or pillion. Overall the ME 888 offers a pragmatic blend of endurance and road-holding for touring motorcyclists.
