METZELER Roadtec™ 01 SE Tire — 120/70ZR17, Blackwall

Roadtec™ 01 SE is Metzeler’s evolution in the sport touring segment, designed to enhance handling and grip for supersport and naked motorcycles while preserving mileage and wet-condition performance.

The shoulders of Roadtec™ 01 SE feature a land/sea ratio that moves from 90% toward a slick rubber beginning at about 25° of lean angle, evolving the 84%–94% swing of the grand‑tourer Roadtec™ 01. This puts more rubber to the road at large lean angles for increased cornering thrust and directionality.

A higher land/sea ratio on both front and rear shoulders gives a more muscular presence and enhanced sportiness for sport‑touring machines.

The center section matches the Roadtec™ 01 land/sea ratio, reaching about 82% to retain the advanced water drainage technologies developed for Roadtec™ 01.

A combination of transversal, saber‑shaped and drop‑shaped grooves ensures mechanical grip, efficient water evacuation, improved ABS interaction and faster compound warm‑up, improving traction, stability under braking and line‑holding up to the limit.

New slick shoulders increase edge grip and the confidence riders feel when pushing the bike at full lean.
