The Metzeler ROADTEC 02 R 170/60R17 72V is a touring motorcycle tyre crafted for riders seeking a blend of grip and longevity across varied road surfaces. Intended for sport-touring bikes it provides stable handling in both dry and wet conditions. The tyre’s profile is tuned to improve cornering stability and to deliver reassuring feedback through the bike. Enhanced wet grip characteristics and consistent mileage are built into the tread design to support long distance riding. The compound mix provides traction while maintaining a stable contact patch as temperatures change. Optimised water evacuation channels reduce aquaplaning risk and preserve braking distance on damp roads.

A dual-compound construction helps deliver grip on lean angles while promoting even wear down the centre for improved mileage. Structural reinforcement in the carcass supports load capacity and gives a stable platform for precise steering response. Block arrangement and groove geometry are tuned to evacuate water efficiently and maintain composure in changeable conditions. The tyre balances sportier handling with a comfortable ride for two-up travel.

For riders this tyre translates into confidence when threading through corners and predictable behaviour on wet stretches. It is well suited for riders who want a long-lasting tyre that still offers sharp handling and dependable braking performance across touring routes.
