The Metzeler ME 880 Marathon WW motorcycle tire is one of the most popular models in the "Marathon" line of the Metzeler company. The tires of this model are designed for equipping cruisers and heavy highway-type motorcycles, and are developed with long-distance travel criteria in mind.
The special tread pattern of the low-profile tire provides an optimal combination of stability, stability, and speed dynamics and ease of handling. Considering the duration of the trip, the composition of the rubber mixture is selected to provide a "soft ride" and maximum comfort for the motorcyclist.
Reliability, product lifespan, undoubtedly play a crucial role in consumer demand. However, the advantage of the "WW" class model lies also in the originality of the stylistic design: the white sidewall insert creates a visual effect of a "large wheel".
And even with design, German developers approached with their inherent pragmatism: the white insert of the Metzeler ME880 Marathon WW tire serves not so much as an ornament, but rather provides additional softness of movement. The main material of the tire is a hard rubber, which ensures high strength of the tire. The composition of the rubber for the insert is fundamentally different from the rubber mixture used for the tire carcass: the high silica content gives the material elasticity, which achieves maximum vibration damping caused by road irregularities.
