The Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact Rear (M) 160/60R18 70W is a rear motorcycle tyre developed for sport-touring riders seeking a mix of grip, endurance and stable handling. It is created for motorcycles that cover long distances yet require lively feedback through bends. The tyre’s construction uses a compound layering strategy that balances initial grip with longevity, optimising the contact patch across a range of lean angles. Metzeler’s Interact technology coordinates front and rear tyre behaviour for predictable cornering stability.

Tread geometry promotes efficient water evacuation and consistent wet grip to improve braking distance in damp conditions. The tyre compound manages temperature and wear to deliver even wear characteristics and sustained mileage on long tours. Its carcass provides a responsive steering response while still delivering a comfortable ride suited to two-up travel and luggage loads.

Motorcyclists will notice confident feedback entering and exiting bends and reliable traction when roads are changeable. The tyre supports long days in the saddle by offering stable handling and reduced rider fatigue through consistent performance. It is a strong option when looking for long-range reliability and sport-touring agility.
