Metzeler Roadtec 01 SE Tire

Description

• Moving sideways, the shoulders of the ROADTEC™ 01 SE feature a land/sea ratio that swings from 90% to a slick rubber starting from 25 degrees of lean angle on, evolving the 84%-to-94% swing of the grand-tourer ROADTEC™ 01. Thanks to this feature, ROADTEC™ 01 SE puts more rubber to the road at large lean angles, ensuring enhanced cornering thrust and directionality
• The tread pattern design of ROADTEC™ 01 SE features a higher land/sea ratio on tire’s shoulders both on the front and the rear, which grants enhanced sportiveness and a muscular presence dedicated to the sporty share of sport tourers
• As a matter of fact, the center section of ROADTEC™ 01 SE matches the land/sea ratio of ROADTEC™ 01 reaching the value of 82% in order to benefit from advanced water drainage technologies developed for the ROADTEC™ 01
• ROADTEC™ 01 SE is Metzeler evolution in the Sport Touring segment that enhances handling and grip for supersport and naked motorcycles preserving mileage and performance in wet conditions
