120/70 ZR17 58W Metzeler Roadtec 02

The Metzeler Roadtec 02 is Metzeler’s newest evolution in sport‑touring performance, designed for riders who want confident grip in all weather, predictable handling and strong mileage. It builds on the Roadtec 01 with improved wet braking, faster warm‑up and a more stable carcass for loaded touring or spirited weekend riding.

Technical Highlights

• Adaptive Silica Compound — high silica content for wet grip, with stabilising polymers for dry stability
• Reinforced Carcass Construction — tuned tension zones for better feedback and reduced flex under load
• Hydro‑dynamic Tread Pattern — angled drainage channels to clear water efficiently at lean
• Fast Warm‑Up Behaviour — compound activates quickly in cold or damp Scottish conditions
• Optimised Footprint — more even pressure distribution for longer life and consistent wear
• Neutral Steering Feel — predictable turn‑in and stable mid‑corner behaviour
• Improved Wet Braking — updated groove geometry increases contact patch stability under braking

Ideal For
