ROADTEC Z8 INTERACT 140/70 ZR 18 M/C 67W (M) Rear Radial Tubeless Type

【METZELER 2415800 ROADTEC Z8 INTERACT 140/70 ZR 18 M/C 67W (M) Rear Radial Tubeless Type for Motorcycles Bike Tire On-Road All-Round Sport Touring ROADTEC】
【Reliable Wet Performance Even in Sudden Rain】

・Awarded as a test winner for many years for its precise and efficient handling, until it was superseded by the Roadtec 01.
【Riding Pleasure】

・The Roadtec Z8 Interact provides a comfortable and confident ride even in cold and wet conditions, offering ideal handling for an enjoyable riding experience.
・The synergistic effect of the sports touring profile with its "π" design grooves and the patented Interact technology achieves ease of riding, comfort, predictability, ease of turn-in, and progressive behavior during lean.
・Interact is a technology that winds each steel cord with multiple different tensions. This technology draws out the best performance from Metzeler tires regardless of road conditions. By winding the steel belts under the tread compound at optimal tension, the tire's required performance is met.
・In the center section, the steel belt is wound with high tension, reducing compound movement and stabilizing the contact patch, which lowers wear and ensures stability at high speeds.
・In the shoulder section, the steel belt wound with lower tension increases flexibility and energy absorption, and the compound temperature rises, softening the tire and improving grip during cornering.
・The cords of the zero-degree steel belt are wound at optimal intervals to achieve smooth, progressive movement without interruption at all lean angles.
【Mileage】

・Best performance right up to the end of the tire's life, adaptability in various conditions, comfort on long rides, and consistent ride feel and agile handling even as the tire wears – all this is achieved through the special combination of a high-silica compound and Interact technology.
・The high-silica compound, known for its long life and mechanical wear resistance, further enhances its properties through a patented mixing technique that increases dispersion within the polymer matrix, resulting in greater uniformity.
This sophisticated compound, combined with the high-tension 0° steel belt in the tire's center, provides firm support. It suppresses compound movement to prevent overheating, reduces tire wear, and extends tire life.
【Grip on All Roads】

・The Roadtec Z8 Interact grips wet roads.
・The tread pattern's groove layout, inspired by the Greek letter π, is designed to ensure maximum stability and enhance water evacuation even in harsh conditions, providing a reliable and confident ride.
・The tread groove design changes the tire's rigidity and optimizes the tire's contact pressure at all lean angles.
・Through extensive research, a groove shape and arrangement have been adopted that provide mechanical grip at various lean angles and riding styles.
・Large grooves in the contact patch ensure water evacuation at any lean angle, even in deep puddles.
・The longitudinal grooves in the center section are deeper and longer to enhance water drainage. They cover approximately 70% of the lean angle typically reached in wet conditions, providing a sense of security.
・In dry conditions, the grooves act as pins, increasing tread flexibility and contact area, which enhances stability, especially at high speeds.
・Radial grooves in the shoulder section provide excellent water drainage even at deep lean angles. The Roadtec Z8 Interact offers maximum safety for riders who boldly ride in wet conditions.
・The angle inside the grooves is designed to ensure consistent water drainage even when the tire wear is nearing its limit.
