ROADTEC 01 120/70 ZR 17 M/C 58W HWM Front Radial Tubeless Type

【Metzeler 2681200 Roadtec 01 120/70 ZR 17 M/C 58W HWM Front Radial Tubeless Type Motorcycle Tire On-Road Sport Touring Heavy Motorcycle ROADTEC】
【To a new world of sport touring: longer, farther, safer】

・ROADTEC 01 is Metzeler's flagship product for sport touring, from radial to bias-ply constructions.
・It offers enhanced grip and durability on wet and low-friction surfaces, achieving high adaptability to various motorcycles and riding styles.
【Grip on all road surfaces】

・Advanced compounds improve chemical grip and adhesion in all conditions.
・Metzeler's unique mixing technology delivers a more uniform compound, achieving superior chemical properties and wear resistance.
・The radial front tire offers the synergistic effect of excellent chemical grip from its 100% silica compound and mechanical grip generated by its tread pattern.
・The radial rear tire features a dual-compound layout. The center section occupies approximately 20% of the tire width, with the remaining 80% equally distributed across both shoulder areas.
・The center section combines silica and carbon black in a balanced blend, enhancing stability and heat dissipation at high speeds, and achieving both wear resistance and grip performance.
・The 100% silica compound in the shoulder areas, similar to the front tire, provides excellent grip even on low-friction surfaces when combined with the tread pattern.
・The use of a similar compound in the front and rear shoulder areas ensures a stable contact feel during lean.
・The cap & base structure (a thin layer of compound in the center distributes under the shoulder compound) ensures optimal heat distribution.
・All ROADTEC 01 radial tires, combined with Metzeler Zero Degree Steel Belt INTERACT technology, offer precise riding and long life.
・ROADTEC 01 bias-ply front and rear tires use a unique carbon black-based compound with approximately 30% silica. By utilizing the heat generated by the tire's structure to reach the optimal operating temperature, it provides excellent grip in dry conditions. Special resins enhance the compound's dynamic properties and adhesion, delivering unparalleled grip in wet conditions.
【Safety on wet and low-friction surfaces】

・ROADTEC 01 features a new concept tread pattern developed by Metzeler to enhance mechanical traction, which is clearly felt during acceleration and braking.
・The front tire is characterized by numerous transverse grooves, ensuring a firm grip on the road surface with high traction and excellent water drainage.
・The rear tire has grooves with opposite orientations and different functions, including both long and short grooves.
・During braking, the shorter grooves reduce lateral movement, enhancing motorcycle stability.
・During acceleration, the longer grooves unleash the compound's traction performance on low-friction surfaces.
・The orientation of the grooves also contributes to increased tire life. The groove design and spacing are adjusted to increase the land-to-sea ratio, resulting in more rubber contact with the road. At the same time, the groove direction aligns with the tire's wear wave, leading to uniform tread wear and maintaining tread performance until the end of the tire's life.
・The distinctive tread design and structure of ROADTEC 01 ensure water drainage and optimal grip.
【Long lifespan and consistent performance】

・ROADTEC 01 achieves a 10% improvement in lifespan compared to ROADTEC Z8 INTERACT.
・The innovative profile creates a wider and shorter contact patch, reducing tire compound consumption and ensuring uniform wear.
・ROADTEC 01 has a shorter and wider contact patch compared to ROADTEC Z8 INTERACT, which produces two effects:
・Reduced tire slip and significantly lower wear rate
・The motorcycle's weight and acceleration forces are distributed over a wider area of the tire, reducing compound stress and preventing overheating.
・The contact patch of ROADTEC 01 with the road increases the amount of tread and edge simultaneously in contact, improving mechanical grip, water drainage, and safety. By putting more rubber on the ground, chemical grip is also delivered immediately after leaning, especially in mid-lean angles.
【Stability and trajectory precision】

・Structure adaptable to any motorcycle or riding style.
・ROADTEC 01 offers improved carcass flexibility compared to ROADTEC Z8 INTERACT.
・Compound deformation enhances mechanical grip, providing adhesion on rough roads and impact absorption for road irregularities (repairs, bumps, cobblestones).
・Metzeler leverages a wealth of technologies tailored for various applications to provide the best solutions that meet the required tire performance.
・Radial and bias-ply constructions fully demonstrate their power in synergy with the bias construction or Zero Degree Steel Belt featuring Interact technology.
・The structure of each ROADTEC 01 tire size is manufactured with materials designed to meet the required performance of the tire.
