ROADTEC 01 190/50 ZR 17 M/C 73W HWM Rear Radial Tubeless

【METZELER 2681400 ROADTEC 01 190/50 ZR 17 M/C 73W HWM Rear Radial Tubeless Motorcycle Tire On-Road Sport Touring Heavyweight ROADTEC】
【To a new world of sport touring: Longer, farther, safer】

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

・Advanced compound improves chemical grip and adhesion in all conditions.
・Metzeler's unique mixing technology yields an even more uniform compound, achieving superior chemical properties and wear resistance.
・Radial front tires offer a synergistic effect of excellent chemical grip from a 100% silica compound and mechanical grip generated by the tread pattern.
・Radial rear tires feature a dual-compound layout. The center section accounts for approximately 20% of the tire width, with the remaining 80% equally distributed across both shoulder sections.
・The center section balances silica and carbon black to enhance high-speed stability and heat dissipation, achieving both wear resistance and grip performance.
・The 100% silica compound in the shoulder sections, combined with the tread pattern, provides excellent grip even on low-friction surfaces, similar to the front tire.
・The same compound is used for both front and rear shoulder sections, ensuring a stable contact feel during lean.
・The cap & base structure (a thin layer of the compound's center extends beneath the compound's shoulder) ensures optimal heat distribution.
・All ROADTEC 01 radial tires, in combination with Metzeler's Zero Degree Steel Belt INTERACT technology, achieve precise riding and long life.
・ROADTEC 01 cross-ply front and rear tires use a unique carbon black-based compound with approximately 30% silica. It utilizes the heat generated by the tire's structure to reach optimal operating temperature, providing optimal grip in dry conditions. Special resins enhance the compound's mobility 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 that enhances mechanical traction, which can be clearly felt during acceleration and braking.
・The front tire is characterized by numerous lateral grooves that securely grip the road surface with high grip and ensure high water drainage.
・The rear tire has short and long grooves with opposite directions and different functions.
・During braking, the short grooves suppress lateral movement and enhance motorcycle stability.
・During acceleration, the long grooves bring out the compound's traction performance on low-friction surfaces.
・The orientation of the grooves also contributes to extending tire life. The groove design and spacing are adjusted to increase the land-to-sea ratio, allowing more rubber to contact the road surface. At the same time, the groove direction follows the tire's wear wave, resulting in uniform tread wear and maintaining tread performance until the limit of tire life.
・ROADTEC 01's distinctive tread design and structure achieve excellent water drainage and optimal grip.
【Long life and consistent performance】

・ROADTEC 01 achieves a 10% longer lifespan compared to ROADTEC Z8 INTERACT.
・The wider and shorter contact patch resulting from the innovative profile reduces tire compound consumption and ensures uniform wear.
・ROADTEC 01's shorter and wider contact patch compared to ROADTEC Z8 INTERACT 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 load and suppressing overheating.
・The contact surface of ROADTEC 01 with the road increases the amount of tread and edge in simultaneous contact, improving mechanical grip, water drainage, and safety. Furthermore, by putting more rubber in contact with the ground, chemical grip is exerted from the moment leaning begins, especially in the mid-bank range.
【Stability and trajectory precision】

・Structure adaptable regardless of 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 utilizes a wealth of technologies tailored to various applications to provide the best solutions that meet the required tire performance.
・Radial and cross-ply structures fully demonstrate their power in synergy with bias structures or zero-degree steel belts utilizing Interact technology.
・The structure of each ROADTEC 01 tire size is manufactured with materials designed to meet the required tire performance.
