Designed as a rear motorcycle tyre for long-distance touring, the Metzeler ME 888 Marathon Ultra Rear RF M/C 180/60R16 80H is intended for riders seeking endurance and stability on extended rides. This tyre is specified for rear-wheel fitment where sustained load capacity and consistent behaviour through miles are essential. Its construction supports touring rigs that carry luggage and pillion passengers while maintaining predictable handling characteristics.

A continuous tread centre and circumferential grooves balance even wear with efficient water evacuation to preserve wet grip and shorten braking distance in damp conditions. The profile enhances the contact patch for improved cornering stability while the compound blend is tuned for high mileage and consistent steering response across a wide temperature range. Reinforced bead area and carcass integrity contribute to stable handling under load.

For touring riders this results in dependable performance over long journeys and reduced tyre wear between replacements. Expect steady cornering stability at varying lean angles and long mileage potential, combined with a composed ride feel that supports confidence on mixed road surfaces.
