A cruiser and touring rear tyre, Metzeler CRUISETEC 150/80R17 72V is engineered for long-distance road use on heavyweight machines. Intended for riders seeking stability on B-roads and motorways, it blends endurance with a responsive ride. The tyre’s profile promotes a large and stable contact patch that supports steady cornering stability and comfortable long-run behaviour. Purpose-built touring geometry enhances straight-line tracking and low effort steering response.

Metzeler’s construction uses robust belts and carcass design to sustain higher load capacity and steady wear characteristics. The tread compound is balanced to achieve good rolling resistance while retaining high wet grip in variable conditions. Deep circumferential grooves assist water evacuation and reduce the risk of aquaplaning during heavy rain. Even wear characteristics extend usable mileage across touring stints.

Riders will notice improved braking distance under load and a calm, predictable feel through sweeping bends. The tyre supports confident two-up riding and luggage loads without compromising handling. It’s a practical choice for UK riders who value endurance, comfort and reliable wet performance.
