A sport-touring rear tyre optimised for road-focused motorcycles, the Metzeler Roadtec 01 Rear (HWM) M/C 180/55R17 73W is built to deliver grip and endurance on twisty asphalt. It targets riders who value mileage and high-speed stability without sacrificing feel. The tyre is intended for long-distance road use and spirited weekend rides on varied tarmac.

Its progressive tread pattern and compound distribution increase the effective contact patch during lean angles, enhancing cornering stability and consistent wear. The carcass is tuned to provide a confident feedback and precise steering response while the compound balances grip and longevity. Water evacuation channels reduce aquaplaning risk and support secure wet grip under load.

For the rider this translates into improved middle tyre life and steady handling across temperature ranges. The tyre fosters confidence during long tours and dynamic riding, contributing to controlled braking distance and responsive cornering. Metzeler Roadtec 01 Rear offers balanced performance and endurance for long rides.
