The Metzeler ME 888 Marathon Ultra Rear WW 85/0R16 77H is a rear motorcycle tyre developed for grand touring bikes requiring long-range stability and reliable traction. It is intended for riders covering high mileages who prioritise endurance alongside predictable handling. The tyre’s focus is on long service life and consistent behaviour under varied load and road conditions. Reinforced construction and a robust carcass increase load capacity and deliver steady footprint stability under touring loads. The tread pattern is engineered for progressive wear characteristics and even wear across the profile. Driving comfort benefits from a tuned sidewall that smooths ride harshness on long runs.

An asymmetric tread layout combined with longitudinal grooves aids water evacuation and maintains wet grip during rainy passages. The compound and pattern promote a stable contact patch at different lean angles, helping to keep braking distance predictable. Rolling resistance is optimised to support extended mileage without compromising traction. The tyre responds with clear steering response for confidence during lane changes and bends.

For touring riders this tyre offers durable mileage, reassuring traction in wet conditions and composed cornering stability under load. It represents a practical choice for extended trips where reliability and comfort matter.
