METZELER - 3851200 - Roadtec™ 01 SE Tire

Sized 190/50ZR17 and rated 73W, this Roadtec 01 SE rear brings a wider, lower-profile footprint to Metzeler's sportier sport-touring line, aimed at bikes that want extra contact patch for hard acceleration out of corners. The shoulder tread shifts toward slick rubber past 25 degrees of lean, an evolution over the standard Roadtec 01's more conservative swing, delivering more grip and directional stability once a rider is deep into a turn. The center tread keeps the same 82% land/sea ratio and drainage geometry that made the original Roadtec 01 dependable in the wet, backed by ABS-tuned transversal grooves.

Features

• 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.
