Description Metzeler Marathon ML2
The Metzeler Marathon ML2 motorcycle tire is a prominent representative of tires for highway motorcycles. It is one of the numerous models in the "Marathon" line from Metzeler (Germany). The name of the "Marathon" series itself emphasizes the use of the tire for long-distance trips. However, the "ML2" class model stands out from the "Marathon" series with its preferred use for equipping heavy and powerful motorcycles - sports superbikes.
High speeds, large loads (both dynamic and static), and the duration of the trip are the main criteria that the company's designers were guided by when developing tires in the "ML2" category.
Original design solutions and a carefully selected composition of the rubber mixture allowed for the creation of truly ideal tires, optimized for technical and speed characteristics, as well as ensuring maximum safety in emergency situations.
The heavy weight, combined with high speed, creates increased dynamic and deformation loads on the Metzeler Marathon ML2 tires. To avoid rupture, the material (rubber) must have a sufficient margin of strength. On the other hand, hard rubber significantly increases the perception of road irregularities, which introduces significant discomfort. Finding an optimal solution was not an easy task, but the German tire manufacturers solved this problem with honor: a special chemical composition of the rubber mixture and a patented technology of diagonal cord winding allowed for the creation of a unique tire model in terms of characteristics.
Riding a bike with German tires will provide the necessary dose of adrenaline and a feeling of euphoria from the crazy speed. Is it worth mentioning the positive emotions from traveling?
Main features of the Metzeler Marathon ML2 motorcycle tire
- Special material and features of cord winding provide a high degree of resistance to deformation under heavy loads;
- A multi-component rubber compound (silicone-rubber monomer) gives the tires softness, ensuring a high level of comfort;
- A radial pattern of a flat profile provides reliable traction with the road surface and improves dynamic characteristics of the speed mode;
- The increased width has a significant impact on the directional stability and clarity of vehicle control;
- Long service life of the tires.
