A sport-touring rear tyre designed for high-performance road use, Metzeler ROADTEC 01 SE R 190/50R17 73W suits riders seeking balanced grip and endurance. This tyre is aimed at modern sport-touring motorcycles that spend time on both fast A-roads and twisty B-roads, offering a versatile solution for mixed conditions. The tread profile optimises the contact patch for predictable behaviour and enhanced cornering stability, while the compound supports consistent mileage without abrupt loss of performance. Excellent wet grip and responsive warm-up characteristics make it reliable in damp British weather.

Construction features include a carcass tuned for dynamic load transfer and a profile that promotes even wear across the footprint. Advanced compound technology contributes to controlled rolling resistance and steady steering response when transitioning from upright to leaned angles. The pattern geometry aids water evacuation through longitudinal channels, which helps to reduce aquaplaning risk. Reinforced sidewall design improves stability under load and helps maintain a stable contact patch during aggressive cornering.

For the rider this tyre delivers confident braking distance, predictable handling and good touring mileage across a variety of road surfaces. The combination of comfort and precise feedback supports long days in the saddle without excessive vibration. Overall the ROADTEC 01 SE R is a well-balanced choice for those prioritising safety and endurance on UK roads.
