ROADTEC Z8 INTERACT 160/60 ZR 17 M/C 69W (M) Rear Radial Tubeless

【METZELER 2491600 ROADTEC Z8 INTERACT 160/60 ZR 17 M/C 69W (M) Rear Radial Tubeless Type for Motorcycles On-road All-round Sport Touring ROADTEC】
【Reliable Wet Performance Even in Sudden Rain】

・Awarded Test Winner for many years with precise and efficient handling until it was succeeded by the Roadtec 01.
【Driving Pleasure】

・The Roadtec Z8 Interact provides a safe ride even in cold or wet conditions, offering ideal handling for an enjoyable riding experience.
・The synergistic effect of the sport touring profile using a "π" design groove and 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. It is a technology that extracts the best performance from Metzeler tires regardless of road conditions. By winding the steel belts under the tread compound at optimal tensions, it meets the required performance of the tire.
・In the center section, the steel belt is wound with high tension, reducing compound movement and stabilizing the contact patch, thereby reducing wear and ensuring stability at high speeds.
・The steel belt wound with lower tension in the shoulder section increases flexibility and energy absorption, raising the compound temperature, which softens the tire and improves grip when 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】

・Optimal performance until the very end of the tire's life, adaptability to various conditions, comfort on long rides, and consistent ride feel and agile handling even as the tire wears—all of this is created by 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, making it more homogeneous.
This sophisticated compound, combined with the high-tension 0° steel belt in the tire's center, provides firm support. It suppresses compound movement, prevents overheating, reduces tire wear, and extends tire life.
【Grip on All Surfaces】

・The Roadtec Z8 Interact grips wet surfaces.
・It provides reliable and secure riding with a tread pattern groove layout inspired by the Greek letter π, designed to always ensure maximum stability and enhance water drainage even in challenging conditions.
・The design of the tread grooves changes the rigidity of the tire, optimizing 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 drainage even in deep puddles, regardless of lean angle.
・The longitudinal grooves in the center are deeper and longer to enhance water drainage. They cover approximately 70% of the lean angle typically reached on wet roads, providing a sense of security.
・In dry conditions, the grooves act as pins, increasing tread flexibility and contact area, especially improving stability at high speeds.
・Radial grooves on the shoulder provide excellent drainage even at deep lean angles. The Roadtec Z8 Interact offers maximum safety for riders who boldly ride on wet roads.
・The angle inside the grooves is designed to ensure consistent water drainage even when tire wear is near its limit.
