METZELER - 4129600 - Roadtec™ 01 SE Tire

Sized 170/60ZR17 and rated 72W, this Roadtec 01 SE sits in the middle of Metzeler's sportier sport-touring fitments, aimed at naked and supersport bikes that want more cornering bite than the standard Roadtec 01 without losing wet-weather manners. Past 25 degrees of lean, the shoulder tread swings toward a near-slick surface, putting more rubber down exactly where a rider is committed to the turn, while the center section keeps the proven 82% land/sea ratio and water-drainage geometry from the original Roadtec 01. Transversal grooves and ABS-friendly tuning round out a tire for riders chasing the sportier side of sport touring.

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. Thanks to this feature, ROADTEC™ 01 SE puts more rubber to the road at large lean angles, ensuring enhanced cornering thrust and directionality
