Metzeler Roadtec 01 110/80 R17 57H

The sport touring world has changed:ride longer, ride further, ride safer.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 c... moreonditions.Grip on all kind of asphalt.Improved compound solution that enhance 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 more resistant to the wear process.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 tyre 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.ROADTEC™ 01 X-Ply fronts and rears feature a unique carbon-black based compound with a percentage of silica close to 30% that exploits the heat generated by the structure to reach optimal operating temperature and delivers top grip in the dry.Special resins enhance compound mobility and adhesive properties for incomparable wet grip.Safety on wet and low friction surfaces.On ROADTEC™ 01, Metzeler developed a new concept of tread design capable to enhance mechanical traction, with a clearly perceivable benefit when accelerating and braking.Front tyre features a large amount of transversal grooves that grip the asphalt as single elements and increase the amount of water drained.Rear tyres 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 contributes also to increase the mileage:both groove design and pitch have been tuned to leverage on 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
