The Metzeler ROADTEC 01 140/70R17 66H is a sport-touring motorcycle tyre designed for riders who demand strong wet performance and confident long-distance handling. It targets road-focused use across mixed UK conditions, from commuting to weekend sportive rides. The tyre delivers a balanced blend of grip and longevity thanks to a tread profile optimised for a consistent contact patch and controlled heat build-up. Rolling resistance has been addressed to preserve mileage without compromising grip while the compound formulation improves wet grip for safer cold and damp starts.

Its tread architecture features aligned groove geometry that enhances water evacuation and reduces the risk of aquaplaning on wet A-roads. The tyre carcass and belt package give predictable steering response and support precise line-holding through bends. Designed for evolving conditions, the ROADTEC 01 keeps its characteristics across temperature ranges and varying road surfaces.

For the rider this means shorter braking distance in the wet, reassuring cornering stability when leaning and a comfortable ride on longer trips. Consistent wear patterns produce reliable performance mile after mile so you can focus on the ride rather than tyre behaviour.
