Metzeler Roadtec z8

---

ROADTEC™ Z8 INTERACT™ ensures peace of mind in the hardest situations, in the cold or wet, providing ideal handling for true riding pleasure.

Riding easiness, comfort, predictability, easy turn in, progressivity in lean, are provided by the interaction of sport touring profiles with the Greek π tread pattern and the patented Interact™ technology.

Interact™ is the multi tension technology allowing Metzeler tyres to offer the best performance in all conditions; the differentiated tensioning of the steel belt underneath the tread compound gives a tailored performance.

• High steel belts winding tension in the center reduces compound movement and increases stability of the footprint area which reduces wear and ensures high speed stability
• Low steel belts winding tension creates more flexibility and energy absorption, the compound increases the temperature and becomes softer, offering more grip while leaning

The variable winding process of the 0° steel belt guarantees a progressive behavior at different lean angles without discontinuity of performance.
 

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.

SPORTEC™ M7 RR is derived from our experience in Road Racing and engineered to empower sport riders in all conditions of weather and temperature.
Introducing a new concept of water drainage and contact feeling thanks to dual-compound, Interact™ technology and high silica compounds,

The improved sporty handling transmitts a strong feeling of safety and predictability, regardless of the conditions. 

Our road racing derived profiles, feature high stiffness structures. Combine the two and you've got razor sharp agile handling, to suit sporty riding styles, whatever the road style.

Metzeler Sportec M9RR Sports Motorcycle TyreNew for 2020 this Supersport Tyre from Metzeler is a true all year round tyre. From wet and cold B roads in December to a scorching July day on track this will do it all.The first Supersport tyre with 100% silica thanks to an innovative mixing process and ultra-fine silica, SPORTEC M9 RR is the first Supersport tyre featuring 100% silica in all compounds for both front and rear tyres.

Precise control, excellent performance on all surfaces and dynamic cornering are just some of the advantages of Metzeler Racetec RR tyres. If you are looking for reliable tyre for your sports motorcycle, then this model is for you. The tyre is an improved version of a popular Racetec model. It was created for those, who love driving on racing tracks and is available in three different types. Depending on the hardness of the tyre compound, the tyre guarantees a specific performance on different surfaces. The K1 compound is a soft component intended for use at high temperatures. It give the tyre maximum adherence on hot asphalt, guaranteeing excellent grip and stability on corners. K3 is the hardest mix, which is great for events like Track Day, although it is not designed for professional racing. The mix which combines the advantages of both of the above mixes is K2, the intermediate solution for lower temperatures. The tyre is based on the "Cap and Base" structure , which prevents the accumulation of heat inside the tyre and improves its distribution to the sidewall. As a result, while cornering the sides of the tyre are always optimally warmed, and driving is safe. Model Racetec RR is a tyre suitable for various conditions and providing unmatched versatility and durability. It allows you to enjoy your drive regardless of the weather. Metzeler is a company producing motorcycle tyres, which have the longest experience in the industry. Its history dates back to 1863 when Robert Metzeler, a German entrepreneur, founded a company manufacturing rubber products. His company quickly developed and soon, in addition to toys and water-proof clothing, it started the production of tyres, not only motorcycles, but also for cars.

Unbelieveable handling, corner stability and line carving

CRUISETEC™ enhances your motocycle’s handling thanks to the combination of legendary Metzeler sport touring derived profiles mated to a muscular carcass.

In a segment where large and heavy motorcycles are being transformed into high performance machines, CRUISETEC™ features performance-oriented solutions and strong structural support features.

Immediate response in all conditions, wet or dry

• Dual compound rear sizes with a high rate of silicia promote fast warm-up and chemical grip when the conditions are less than ideal.
• The brush-like tread pattern enhances mechanical grip, keeping your motorcycle glued to the road surface. All-new compound recipe coupled with innovative structural elements maximize the contact patch for even more grip while cornering.
• All of these features combined blend performance with strength to ensure that any rider’s V-Twin motorcycle is ready for any situation that lies ahead

Metzeler ME 888 MARATHON™ ULTRA is the best partner for long and safe travelling on cruiser, tourers and their custom versions.
To achieve this targets, Metzeler designers finely combined the specifications which determine the characteristics of tires: profile, structure, tread pattern and compound.
The structure shape features a flat and wide geometry that conveys and dissipates toward the sidewall the stress generated under the footprint, reducing the fatigue and the wear process.
To increase wear regularity, the transversal grooves of the tread pattern are discontinued by ‘compound bridges’, resulting in a more solid and stiffer tread design that reduces the stress transmitted to the belts and carcass plies.
Also the edges of grooves are critical areas for wear regularity. ME 888 groove walls have different inclination to ensure the best operating angle in every position.
The polymers of the compound are abrasion resistant, providing higher resistance to wear and hence high mileage.
