Designed for spirited road and track use, the Metzeler ROADTEC 02 R 180/55R17 73W is a high-performance tyre for modern sport and sport-touring motorcycles. It targets riders seeking a blend of grip and longevity in both dry and damp conditions on British roads. The tyre is tuned to offer immediate steering response and controlled behaviour during aggressive riding.

The tread employs a dual-compound layout with optimised block geometry to sustain grip through lean angles while promoting even wear. Channels and siping aid water evacuation to preserve wet grip and trimming braking distance in sudden rain. The carcass balance enhances contact patch stability and cornering stability at varied temperatures and speeds.

Riders will notice confidence entering and exiting bends, predictable feedback and competitive mileage for a sporty tyre. The ROADTEC 02 R delivers excellent steering response and consistent contact patch performance, making it suitable for both daily road use and occasional spirited outings.
