Metzeler wants you to enjoy your V-Twin motorcycles to the fullest. That’s why it has unveiled its brand-new CRUISETEC Custom Touring tires. These are designed specifically for both modern and past V-Twins to optimize their performance.
Metzeler CRUISETEC tires have been developed to meet the needs of motorcyclists who increasingly look for emotional, carefree riding and live their riding passion on V-Twin machines. These tires have been designed to pair with the latest generation of Cruisers and Tourers, machines that manufacturers are equipping with high-rated performance parts and the latest electronic rider aids.
Following are the benefits of the new Metzeler CRUISETEC Tires:
1) Enjoy performance cruising, which means great handling, line taking,
and line holding. Immediate response at all stages also in wet conditions and enhanced cornering grip and safety.
2) Performance consistency, which means handling is preserved throughout the entire tire lifespan thanks to the combination of a solid tread pattern with its constant-curvature contours and dual-compound layout that preserves the tire profile thanks to even wear.
3) Smooth and effortless riding thanks to maximized line holding when entering and maintaining lean angles and comfort.
4) Enhanced confidence and safety, also in the wet, which derives from the effective interaction of the tire with electronic rider aids.


The new CRUISETEC Tires will be made available from Jan 2019. They could be the perfect New Year gift for your beloved V-Twin. Make sure that these tires match your bike’s tire specifications. Following are the sizes in which the new CRUISETEC Tires will be available:
