The Metzeler Roadtec 01 rear motorcycle tire is engineered for dependable sport-touring performance across a wide range of road conditions. Designed for motorcycles requiring a 190/55ZR17 (75W) rear tire, the Roadtec 01 combines responsive handling, strong wet-road grip, and consistent performance throughout its service life. Its tread design is optimized for everyday riding, including city streets, worn pavement, and other low-friction surfaces where predictable traction is essential.
The Roadtec 01 uses a revised land-to-sea ratio on the rear tire to improve wear resistance and maintain performance as the tire accumulates mileage. Radially positioned grooves help increase grip on wet roads, particularly in low-temperature conditions and on surfaces with reduced friction. A rebalanced tire stiffness allows the tread compound to better conform to pavement micro-asperities, enhancing mechanical grip and rider confidence during acceleration, cornering, and braking.
Compared with the Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact, the Roadtec 01 can provide increased mileage of up to 10 percent through its larger, shorter footprint shape. This footprint also supports smooth motorcycle handling and stable road manners for commuting, touring, and spirited riding. This tire is the HWM, or Heavy Weight Motorcycles, special version, developed to support the performance demands of heavier motorcycles. The tire model is Metzeler Roadtec 01, the tire brand is Metzeler, and the manufacturer and vendor part number is 2681500.
