The Roadtec 01 SE builds on the proven Roadtec 01 platform with a revised tread design that places more rubber on the road at higher lean angles. Its increased shoulder land-to-sea ratio supports improved line holding, cornering thrust, and edge grip, while the slick-style shoulder area helps maintain traction as the motorcycle approaches its limit lean angle. This design gives riders a more direct and controlled feel during spirited cornering without sacrificing the balanced manners expected from a sport touring tire.
Across the center section, the tread maintains effective water evacuation and dependable stability in changing conditions. Transversal, saber-shaped, and drop-shaped grooves help deliver mechanical grip, drain water during rain, and support motorcycle control during braking and acceleration. The tread design also promotes smooth interaction with ABS systems and contributes to consistent warm-up on lower-friction surfaces. With its blend of sporty response, wet-weather confidence, mileage potential, and everyday versatility, the Metzeler Roadtec 01 SE rear tire is a strong choice for riders seeking enhanced performance from their sport touring motorcycle.
