The Metzeler Roadtec™ 01 SE rear tire is engineered for sport touring motorcycles demanding enhanced handling, grip, and safety in varying conditions. Featuring a sophisticated land/sea ratio that increases from 90% to 94% on the shoulders starting at 25 degrees of lean angle, this tire delivers more rubber contact at aggressive lean angles, resulting in superior cornering thrust and better directionality. The design ensures confidence during spirited rides and provides a muscular presence that complements sporty motorcycle styling. The center section of the tire maintains an 82% land/sea ratio similar to the original Roadtec™ 01, optimized for excellent water drainage and wet weather performance. Transversal grooves facilitate effective water evacuation, reducing hydroplaning risk and improving stability in rain. The tire's slick shoulder design enhances grip until the maximum lean angle, offering increased line-holding and edge grip, which translates into more precise cornering control. Saber-shaped grooves further improve mechanical grip and water drainage, while drop-shaped grooves increase traction on low-friction surfaces and during braking. The compound warms up quickly, ensuring optimal performance from cold start to riding temperature. This tire is a significant evolution in Metzeler’s Sport Touring segment, combining handling, wet condition performance, and durability for riders of supersport and naked bikes seeking a versatile, high-performance tire that excels in demanding conditions.
