The Metzeler Roadtec 01 is a high-performance rear motorcycle tire designed to deliver dependable handling, wet-road grip, and consistent performance throughout its service life. This tire fits a 190/50ZR17 application with a (73W) speed rating and is engineered for riders who want confident control across city streets, worn pavement, and varying road conditions. Its sport-touring design supports smooth, predictable handling for everyday riding and longer journeys.
The Roadtec 01 uses a revised tread design and optimized land-to-sea ratio to improve wear resistance and help maintain balanced performance as the tire accumulates mileage. Compared with the Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact, the Roadtec 01 is designed to provide up to 10% greater mileage under applicable riding conditions. Its larger, shorter footprint also contributes to responsive motorcycle handling while helping promote even contact with the road.
Radially positioned grooves improve water evacuation and increase grip on wet, low-friction surfaces, including cold pavement and worn urban tarmac. Rebalanced tire stiffness helps the rubber conform more effectively to microscopic road-surface irregularities, supporting stronger mechanical grip and rider confidence. This is the HWM (Heavy Weight Motorcycles) special version, developed to enhance performance on compatible heavier motorcycles. The manufacturer is Metzeler, and the manufacturer part number and vendor part number are both 2681400. Professional installation and verification of motorcycle compatibility are recommended before use.
