The Metzeler Roadtec 02 rear motorcycle tire is designed for riders who want confident handling, responsive performance, and dependable wet-weather control across a broad range of temperatures and asphalt conditions. This rear tire uses a 150/70R17 size with a 69V speed rating, making it suitable for compatible sport-touring and road motorcycles requiring this fitment. Manufacturer part number 4334500 and vendor part number 4334500 identify this Metzeler application.
Its tread pattern features fewer grooves to reduce interruptions across the contact surface, helping minimize vibration and road noise while creating a smooth, predictable transition from upright riding to full lean. The pattern is designed to adapt to riding style, increasing tread compactness and responsiveness as speed rises. Riders benefit from improved stability when traveling upright, confident grip at deeper lean angles, and a consistent feel through changing cornering conditions.
Full-silica compounds in the front and rear tire range support chemical adhesion on wet roads, while the tread design promotes efficient water evacuation and contact patch mobility. These characteristics help provide comfortable warm-up behavior, reliable wet grip, and a reassuring safety feel when leaning. The Metzeler Roadtec 02 is intended for motorcycle applications that match the specified 150/70R17 rear fitment; always verify the motorcycle manufacturer’s approved tire size, load requirement, speed rating, and clearance before installation.
