Designed for long-distance touring on heavyweight bikes, the Metzeler ME 888 MARATHON ULTRA 100/90R18 56H targets riders seeking endurance and comfort on both motorway and B-road journeys. It is aimed at touring motorcycles where steady mileage and load management are essential. The tyre emphasises durability and rider confidence during extended trips. Mileage and even wear are priorities thanks to a durable compound and tread architecture built for long life. The profile maintains a generous contact patch to deliver consistent grip and balanced handling through lean angles and when carrying luggage.

Tread grooves are arranged to aid water evacuation and preserve wet grip, helping to limit braking distance in rainy conditions often faced in the UK. Reinforced construction boosts sidewall stability and supports the declared load capacity to maintain predictable cornering stability under load. The carcass design also smooths road irregularities to improve driving comfort for rider and pillion.

For the rider this tyre translates into fewer tyre changes, dependable wet-weather behaviour and stable handling with a load. The Marathon Ultra is a practical touring choice that combines longevity with reassuring performance on long-distance rides.
