    I went back to the Avon after reading replies on the Metzeler. Just for reference, I got 8k out of the rear. Mixed riding. Some canyons, quite a bit of highway, not too much city. I don’t hammer it everywhere. A few spirited runs ever time I ride it. I too get some slippage occasionally. Usually...

    Blowing in the wind - the need for a revised kickstand

    You’d think one of the aftermarket companies would jump all over this, as it’s clearly a problem

    Blowing in the wind - the need for a revised kickstand

    Anyone come up with a solution? I too worry about wind and have left bike at home some days because of it

    Thanks for all the replies. It seems that those that have actually used the me888’s have liked them just fine. The earlier 880’s seemed to sour peoples opinion on the Metzeler for power bikes. The Avons have been nice and sticky for me, just wearing out fast. And I don’t ride it aggressively...

    Sorry it added my remark to the end of yours. But in short, no way I can get 10k out of current avons. At 6200 now and down to millimeter of wear stip

    How do you feel about the me888’s in the twisties and at launch? Any noticeable slip compared to the cobra’s?

    That’s way I’m leaning. Just 7k out of a tire isn’t great. $900 every spring adds up.

    Ok it’s officially time to get the new tires. Last chance for anyone to weigh in. Metzeler me888 marathon ultra vs Avon cobra chrome’s? 70% highway, 10% twisties, 20% in town. When in the mountains I do like to hit the curves. Not to the foot pegs hard (very often) but fairly aggressive

    The me888 did not even come out until 2013. It also has went through a few changes as well. Supposed to be a far superior tire to the 880, which I what you would have had.

    Have you tried the me888 marathon ultra specifically? Just curious

    Good to hear. That was my main concern. I was told they would wear longer by Triumph staff as well. Something to consider

    That’s about what he quoted me here in Colorado at the triumph dealership for just the tire. I will shop it at the next closest dealer in Denver. My quote was Ft Collins

    Did they grip? Me888 marathons

    They are definitely spendy. I was quoted $1050 for mounting and everything for the Avons and $1150 for the Metzelers. If they suck in the curves or at launch (Metzelers) then it’s not worth the extra mileage I would get out of them. Got spoiled spending $600 on my street glide tires and going...

    Rear luggage worth the money ?

    Hey I too got the new 25l bags after the zipper failed on my 20l. Here’s my take. The bags are great for the occasional road trip, but not for daily hard use. The zipper could fail if used all the time. I have had mine on going to Sturgis with sprints over 120mph and no problems. I keep lighter...

    Hello everyone. I am going to need new tires for my 2021 rocket 3 this spring. Sitting at 7k on the Avon cobra chromes. Can get another 1k+ out of them. Question is….has anyone ran the Metzeler me888 marathon ultras on the 2020+ rocket 3’s and what’s your opinion? I do 70% highway commuting. My...
