ROADTEC Z8 INTERACT 120/70 ZR 18 M/C 59W (M) Front Radial Tubeless Type

【METZELER 2491400 ROADTEC Z8 INTERACT 120/70 ZR 18 M/C 59W (M) FRONT RADIAL TUBELESS TYPE MOTORCYCLE TIRE ON-ROAD ALL-ROUND SPORTS TOURING ROADTEC】
【Reliable wet performance for sudden rain】

・Winner of numerous tests for many years until being succeeded by the Roadtec 01, thanks to its precise and efficient handling.
【Driving Pleasure】

・The Roadtec Z8 Interact provides a safe and enjoyable ride in cold and wet conditions, offering ideal handling for riding pleasure.
・The synergistic effect of the sports touring profile, which uses "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 with optimal tension, the required tire performance is met.
・In the center section, the steel belt is wound with high tension, which reduces compound movement and stabilizes the contact patch, leading to reduced wear and ensuring stability at high speeds.
・In the shoulder section, the steel belt is wound with lower tension, increasing flexibility and energy absorption, which raises the compound temperature, making the tire softer and improving grip during cornering.
・The zero-degree steel belt cords are wound with optimal spacing to achieve continuous, smooth, and progressive movement at all lean angles.
【Mileage】

・Optimal performance right up to the end of the tire's life, adaptability in various conditions, comfort on long rides, and consistent ride quality 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 these properties through patented mixing technology that increases dispersion within the polymer matrix, making it more homogeneous.
This sophisticated compound, combined with the high-tension 0° steel belt in the tire's center, provides solid support. It suppresses compound movement to prevent overheating, reduces tire wear, and extends tire life.
【Grip on all surfaces】

・The Roadtec Z8 Interact grips wet surfaces.
・It ensures maximum stability at all times and provides a trustworthy and confident ride thanks to the groove layout of its tread pattern, inspired by the Greek letter π, which is designed to enhance water drainage even in challenging conditions.
・The tread groove design changes the tire's rigidity and optimizes the tire's contact pressure at all lean angles.
・Through extensive research, we have adopted groove shapes and arrangements that provide mechanical grip at various lean angles and riding styles.
・Large grooves in the contact patch ensure water drainage regardless of the lean angle, even in deep puddles.
・The longitudinal grooves in the center are deeper and longer to improve water drainage. They provide a sense of security by covering approximately 70% of the lean angle typically reached on wet roads.
・In dry conditions, the grooves act as pins, increasing tread flexibility and contact area, especially enhancing stability at high speeds.
・The radial grooves on the shoulder provide excellent water drainage even at deep lean angles. The Roadtec Z8 Interact offers maximum safety even for riders who bravely ride in wet conditions.
・The angles inside the grooves are designed to ensure consistent water drainage even when the tire wear is close to its limit.
