Metzeler Roadtec 01 Rear Tire, The Sport Touring World is Changing: Take the Road with ROADTEC(TM) 01.
ROADTEC(TM) 01 is the latest evolution in Metzeler touring tires. With a focus on enhancing grip on wet and low friction surfaces, increased mileage, and a high degree of adaptability to different motorcycles, riding styles, and conditions, the ROADTEC(TM) 01 provides modern solutions to past and future needs.
Increased Grip Across a Wide Range of Riding Environments: The employment of completely new tread design, enhancing mechanical grip coupled with compounds evolved from those of tests-winner ROADTEC(TM) Z8, allows for increased confidence and feeling while riding in any condition.
Extended Mileage and Performance Consistency: New profile (larger and shorter contact patch) in combination with improved compounds ensure extended performance and tire life. Tread design, specifically groove geometry and positioning, ensure long-lasting performance.
Enhanced Precision and Riding Comfort: Structural elements, the fine tuning and Metzeler Interact(TM) technology, promote adaptive and predictable behavior across a wide range of motorcycles and riding situations.
Tire Properties:
High transversal degree tread design for increased mechanical grip providing improved grip when riding on difficult surfaces.
Larger and shorter contact patch gives improved stress distribution so the tires can ride longer, ride farther.
Improved compounds solutions for improved mileage, grip in low friction conditions which allows you to ride longer, ride confidently.
Tuning of structural elements gives balanced stiffness / flexibility across tire contour for stability, precision and predictability in riding.
Technical Data:
Increased Grip Across a Wide Range of Riding Environments:
ROADTEC(TM) 01 is able to ensure outstanding grip across an extended range of tarmac, weather and temperature conditions, even going beyond ROADTEC(TM) Z8 M/O, itself a test winner in 2015. This means an unsurpassed rider confidence when leaning, braking and accelerating, which can be experienced when riding in urban environments, on interurban roads, and highways.
Ensuring a top level of confidence on these different conditions is made possible by combining a completely new tread design, new profile, and a dual compound layout for rear sizes.
ROADTEC(TM) 01 tread design features a high number of grooves whose development is transversal to the rotation direction, with the advantage of increasing mechanical grip on the ground. The benefit of transversal grooves extends in many different conditions: from riding with cold wet weather on lighter weight motorcycles, to longer highway trips during summer on a big touring bike. The tread design as a whole also grants higher water drainage compared to ROADTEC(TM) Z8 M/O, thanks to groove placement and geometry which has been fine-tuned depending whether the motorcycle is leaning or riding in a straight line.
ROADTEC(TM) 01 profile and dual compound layout play an important role on reaching the target in term of grip and riding confidence: on the rear tires, the shorter and larger contact patch:
Holds a higher number of tread design elements, thereby increasing their efficiency;
Includes a higher section of the full-silica shoulder compound, which is capable of delivering the highest chemical grip on wet and low friction surfaces.
The dual compound layout on rear sizes features a central stripe with high silica content mixed with carbon black, to increase mileage and stability, while shoulders have a full silica compound providing top notch chemical grip even on more difficult surfaces such as wet and worn tarmac. The central stripe covers approximately 30% of the tread pattern section, with the re
