Description

Metzeler ROADTEC 01 Motorcycle Tire | Front 120/60ZR17 (55W) TL | Sport Touring

The sport touring world has changed: ride longer, ride further, ride safer
ROADTEC™ 01 is Metzeler leading product in the sport touring segment, ranging from radial to X-Ply structures, with a focus on enhancing grip on wet and low friction surfaces, an increased mileage and a high degree of adaptability to different motorcycles, riding styles and conditions
Grip on all kind of asphalt
Improved compound solution that enhances the chemical grip and adhesive properties in all different situations.
Our patented mixing process delivers a more homogeneous compound that emphasizes the chemical properties and results in more resistance to wear.
Radial fronts feature a full-silica compound, capable of providing excellent chemical grip in conjunction with the mechanical grip created by the groove layout.
Radial rears feature a dual-compound layout, where the center stripe covers approximately 20% of the tire width, with the remaining 80% equally split between the two shoulders.
The central stripe has a balanced mixture of silica and carbon-black to enhance high-speed stability, heat dispersal and to provide balance between abrasion resistance and grip.
The full-silica compound on the shoulder is similar to that of the front; combined with the tread groove design it delivers excellent grip also on low friction surfaces.
The use of a similar compound on front and rear shoulders provides a homogeneous contact feeling into lean.
The Cap&Base scheme - featuring a thin layer of central compound extending underneath the shoulder compound - provides proper heat distribution.
All ROADTEC™ 01 radials are coupled with the Metzeler 0° steel belt Interact™ technology, contributing both to riding precision and high mileage.
Safety on wet and low friction surfaces
On ROADTEC™ 01, Metzeler developed a new concept of tread design capable of enhancing mechanical traction, with a clearly perceivable benefit when accelerating and braking.
Front tire features a large amount of transversal grooves that grip the asphalt as single elements and increase the amount of water drained.
Rear tires feature both long and short grooves with opposed orientation and with different functions:
When braking, the short grooves prevent lateral movements and increase motorcycle stability.
When accelerating, the long grooves enhance the traction of the compound especially on low friction surfaces.
The groove orientation also contributes to increase the mileage: both groove design and pitch have been tuned to leverage a high land-sea ratio and a high quantity of rubber in contact with the ground.
At the same time, the groove orientation follows the direction of the wear-wave lines, ensuring a regular consumption of the tread and allowing tread design to last until the very end of the tire's life.
The shape and layout, besides being a distinguishing feature of ROADTEC™ 01 tread design, greatly contribute to maximize the level of water drainage and mechanical friction.
Mileage and performance consistency
ROADTEC™ 01 increased the mileage by 10% vs. ROADTEC™ Z8 INTERACT™.
The innovative profiles generate a short and wide footprint area that reduces compound consumption and increases wear regularity.
The ROADTEC™ 01 contact patch is shorter, wider and has a larger area if compared to that of the ROADTEC™ Z8 INTERACT™ that brings two main effects:
Reduced slippage of the compound, significantly delaying the rubber wear process.
Motorcycle weight and acceleration forces are distributed on a wider surface, reducing compound stress and overheating.
The footprint area of ROADTEC™ 01 includes a higher quantity of grooves and edges contemporarily in contact with the road, enhancing mechanical grip, water drainage and safety feeling; It also ensures more rubber in contact with the ground, especially during mid-lean, allowing a better chemical grip starting from the very beginning of the lean.
Stability and trajectory precision
Tailored structures, characterized by adaptive behavior, regardless of your motorcycle or riding style.
The structures of ROADTEC™ 01 feature more flexible carcasses (compared to ROADTEC™ Z8 INTERACT™) allowing compound deformation to enable mechanical grip, enhance adherence to asphalt asperities and facilitate absorption of road irregularities (patches, bumps, stone paving).
Metzeler takes advantage of the whole technological portfolio in different applications to provide the best solution matching product target performance, coupled with either bias or 0° steel belts with Interact™ technology.
The structure underneath each size of the ROADTEC™ 01 range is tuned in construction and material according with the specific need of each fitment.

About METZELER
METZELER was originally founded in Germany in 1863. The company expanded into aviation in 1890 and automotive and motorcycle tires in 1892. Since 1979, METZELER has specialized in motorcycle tires only, and this has enabled the company to become a benchmark for technological development in this area, with particular focus on performance and reliability.
With more than 150 years of experience in the rubber industry and 125 years on the front line of innovation for motorcycle tires, METZELER has marked a number of technological milestones in its long history. From the first transversal tread patterns to the use of Kevlar, Steel and Aramid to reinforce and enhance stability, METZELER has continually evolved to meet the latest demands of motorcycling and to widen the versatility of its range.
In 1986, METZELER further consolidated its position in the industry when it was acquired by Pirelli, one of the most prestigious tire brands in the world. Today, motorcycle connoisseurs all over the world recognize METZELER'S leadership in the design and manufacture of high quality motorcycle tires.
