Metzeler Selects Rucker Performance for Collectors Poster
Fort Worth, Texas (August 5, 2005) – The 2005 Rucker Performance Assassin, a formidable American Muscle Bike, debuts as part of the 2005 Metzeler Collectors Poster series. Featured with high performance radial tires, the Assassin will be showcased and distributed on posters at Metzeler’s Sturgis V-Twin Bike Contest.
“We are honored to be recognized by Metzeler and asked to participate in the Collectors Poster program,” said Bill Rucker, President of Rucker Performance. “The Metzeler technology provides stability, maneuverability and reliability – all factors that are keys to the success of our motorcycles.”
In today’s custom V-Twin market form and function must work together to provide the customer the right look with comfort and safety. The ME 880 series tires do just that.
“In order for the super clean Assassin to have the right look the rear tire and fender need to be as close as possible,” said Chris Wall, Metzeler’s Marketing Manager. “Other tire manufacturers’ tires have a tendency to give in to centrifugal growth and actually rub on the fender and damage paint. Metzeler's ME 880 tires grow only 2 mm at 160 mph in testing due to our patented zero degree steel belt technology.“
