The Metzeler Roadtec 02 rear motorcycle tire is designed for riders seeking dependable sport-touring performance across a broad range of temperatures and asphalt conditions. This rear tire uses a 170/60ZR17 fitment with a 72V speed and load rating, making it suitable for motorcycles specified for this tire size and rating. Verify your motorcycle manufacturer’s fitment requirements before installation.
The Roadtec 02 features a tread pattern engineered to support smooth, predictable transitions from upright riding to full lean. Fewer grooves create a more continuous contact surface, helping reduce vibration and road noise while improving stability. The adaptive tread design responds to riding style, increasing tread compactness and reactivity as cornering speeds rise. This construction promotes confident handling, strong grip at full lean, and a stable feel during upright riding.
Full-silica compounds help improve chemical adhesion on wet roads, while the groove layout supports efficient water evacuation and contact patch mobility. These characteristics contribute to comfortable warm-up behavior, wet-weather grip, and a reassuring safety feel when leaning. The Metzeler Roadtec 02 combines high-performance handling with touring versatility for riders who want responsive cornering and reliable road manners in changing conditions.
