Built for high‑mileage touring and cruiser use, the Metzeler ME 888 MARATHON ULTRA 300/35R18 87V is intended for long‑distance riders seeking stability and endurance. It targets heavyweight motorcycles where sustained load capacity and soothing highway manners are essential. The tyre presents a broad contact patch to stabilise the machine at speed and to provide a consistent feel when leaning into sweeping bends. High mileage orientation is combined with construction choices that favour touring comfort.

Under the tread the compound and casing design are engineered to promote even wear across the footprint while delivering confident wet grip for cross‑country rain. Deep circumferential grooves support efficient water evacuation and help maintain competitive braking distance in variable conditions. Metzeler’s focus on balanced rolling resistance keeps long runs economical without sacrificing cornering stability.

For riders this tyre translates to longer intervals between replacements and predictable handling when loaded with luggage or passenger. The stable contact patch and tuned compliance improve steering response and reduce rider fatigue on extended journeys. In short, the ME 888 MARATHON ULTRA combines touring endurance with on‑road confidence.
