The Metzeler Roadtec 01 is a rear motorcycle tire designed to provide dependable performance across everyday road conditions, including city streets, worn tarmac, and low-temperature surfaces. This Metzeler tire uses a revised tread design and an optimized land-to-sea ratio to improve wear resistance and help maintain consistent handling throughout its service life. The 130/70-17 size with a 62H speed and load rating is suited for compatible motorcycles requiring a rear touring tire in this specification.
The Roadtec 01 features radial groove positioning to increase grip on wet roads, with particular attention to low-friction surfaces where traction can be more difficult to maintain. Its rebalanced tire stiffness helps the tread compound conform more effectively to the small irregularities in the pavement, enhancing mechanical grip and supporting confident cornering, braking, and acceleration. This design is intended to deliver predictable contact with the road in changing urban and touring environments.
Compared with the Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact, the Roadtec 01 offers up to 10% increased mileage according to the manufacturer, supported by a larger, shorter footprint shape. The footprint design also contributes to responsive motorcycle handling and stable road manners. This rear tire is identified by manufacturer and vendor part number 3132600 and is intended for riders seeking balanced longevity, wet-road traction, and consistent performance from a Metzeler touring motorcycle tire. Always verify motorcycle fitment, load requirements, speed rating, and front-to-rear tire compatibility before installation.
