    ROADTEC™ 01 is Metzeler leading product in the sport touring segment, ranging from radial to X-Ply structures, with a focus on enhancing grip on wet and low friction surfaces, an increased mileage and a high degree of adaptability to different motorcycles, riding styles and conditions.

    Grip on all kind of asphalt

    • Improved compound solution that enhances the chemical grip and adhesive properties in all different situations.
    • Our patented mixing process delivers a more homogeneous compound that emphasizes the chemical properties and results in more resistance to wear.
    • Radial fronts feature a full-silica compound, capable of providing excellent chemical grip in conjunction with the mechanical grip created by the groove layout.
    • Radial rears feature a dual-compound layout, where the center stripe covers approximately 20% of the tire width, with the remaining 80% equally split between the two shoulders.
    • The central stripe has a balanced mixture of silica and carbon-black to enhance high-speed stability, heat dispersal and to provide balance between abrasion resistance and grip.
    • The full-silica compound on the shoulder is similar to that of the front; combined with the tread groove design it delivers excellent grip also on low friction surfaces.
    • The use of a similar compound on front and rear shoulders provides a homogeneous contact feeling into lean.
    • The Cap&Base scheme – featuring a thin layer of central compound extending underneath the shoulder compound – provides proper heat distribution.
    • All ROADTEC™ 01 radials are coupled with the Metzeler 0° steel belt Interact™ technology, contributing both to riding precision and high mileage.

    Safety on wet and low friction surfaces

    • On ROADTEC™ 01, Metzeler developed a new concept of tread design capable of enhancing mechanical traction, with a clearly perceivable benefit when accelerating and braking.
    • Front tire features a large amount of transversal grooves that grip the asphalt as single elements and increase the amount of water drained.
    • Rear tires feature both long and short grooves with opposed orientation and with different functions:
    • When braking, the short grooves prevent lateral movements and increase motorcycle stability.
    • When accelerating, the long grooves enhance the traction of the compound especially on low friction surfaces.
    • The groove orientation also contributes to increase the mileage: both groove design and pitch have been tuned to leverage a high land-sea ratio and a high quantity of rubber in contact with the ground.
    • At the same time, the groove orientation follows the direction of the wear-wave lines, ensuring a regular consumption of the tread and allowing tread design to last until the very end of the tire's life.
    • The shape and layout, besides being a distinguishing feature of ROADTEC™ 01 tread design, greatly contribute to maximize the level of water drainage and mechanical friction.

    Mileage and performance consistency

    • ROADTEC™ 01 increased the mileage by 10% vs. ROADTEC™ Z8 INTERACT™.
    • The innovative profiles generate a short and wide footprint area that reduces compound consumption and increases wear regularity.
    • The ROADTEC™ 01 contact patch is shorter, wider and has a larger area if compared to that of the ROADTEC™ Z8 INTERACT™ that brings two main effects:
    • Reduced slippage of the compound, significantly delaying the rubber wear process.
    • Motorcycle weight and acceleration forces are distributed on a wider surface, reducing compound stress and overheating.
    • The footprint area of ROADTEC™ 01 includes a higher quantity of grooves and edges contemporarily in contact with the road, enhancing mechanical grip, water drainage and safety feeling; It also ensures more rubber in contact with the ground, especially during mid-lean, allowing a better chemical grip starting from the very beginning of the lean.

    Stability and trajectory precision

    • Tailored structures, characterized by adaptive behavior, regardless of your motorcycle or riding style.
    • The structures of ROADTEC™ 01 feature more flexible carcasses (compared to ROADTEC™ Z8 INTERACT™) allowing compound deformation to enable mechanical grip, enhance adherence to asphalt asperities and facilitate absorption of road irregularities (patches, bumps, stone paving).
    • Metzeler takes advantage of the whole technological portfolio in different applications to provide the best solution matching product target performance, coupled with either bias or 0° steel belts with Interact™ technology.
    • The structure underneath each size of the ROADTEC™ 01 range is tuned in construction and material according with the specific need of each fitment.
