METZELER - 4335400 - Roadtec™ 02 Tire for Heavy Weight Motorcycles
Metzeler built this version of the Roadtec 02 specifically for heavyweight motorcycles, meaning the 190/55ZR17 construction is tuned to handle the extra mass of a big touring or adventure-touring bike without losing the model's core traits. That includes the reduced-groove tread for a quieter, smoother ride at highway speed, efficient water evacuation and contact-patch mobility for wet-weather confidence, and full-silica compounds for chemical grip on wet asphalt. The pattern still adapts to riding style, firming up as pace increases, which matters even more on a heavier bike where stability upright and grip at full lean both carry higher stakes.
Features
- Features less grooves which translates to less interruptions of the surface, bringing less vibrations, less noise and a more uniform transition from upright to leaning

- Riding pleasure, high-performance and safety in a wide range of temperatures and asphalt conditions
- Full silica compounds of both the fronts and rears improve the chemical adhesion to wet roads
