The Sport Focused Evolution of Touring Grip

The ROADTEC 01 SE is Metzeler’s sport focused evolution of their award winning touring platform, built for riders who want sharper road feel, stronger edge grip and more agility without giving up the all weather confidence the 01 series is known for. It’s aimed at modern sport tourers, nakeds, supersport machines and adventure bikes that spend most of their time on the road but still demand precision and stability at lean.

What Defines the 01 SE

Sport tuned shoulder design The SE version uses a more aggressive shoulder layout to increase the rubber to road contact area at higher lean angles. This gives the tyre a more athletic feel and improves cornering thrust compared to traditional touring patterns.

Retains the wet weather DNA of the original 01 The central tread zone keeps the proven water evacuation characteristics of the standard ROADTEC 01, maintaining strong wet surface grip and braking stability.

Sharper handling for modern road bikes The revised profile and shoulder construction give the SE quicker steering response and better support during fast transitions — ideal for riders who push harder on twisty roads.

Built for mixed condition performance The compound and tread layout are engineered to deliver predictable grip across dry, damp and variable surfaces, making it a strong choice for UK riding conditions.

Touring durability with a sportier feel Despite its more performance oriented design, the SE maintains the long distance consistency and mileage that made the original 01 popular among high mileage riders.

Positioning Summary

The ROADTEC 01 SE sits between a pure touring tyre and a hypersport road tyre — offering the stability, wet grip confidence and longevity of a touring design, but with the cornering support and agility that sportbike and sport tourer riders expect.
