Metzeler Motorcycle Wheel 170/60 R 17 M/C 72V TL Racetec 02

The Super-Sport-Touring tyre that doubles your performance

• Riding pleasure, excellent performance and safety in all temperatures and road conditions
• A 2-in-1 tyre, Super-Sport or Sport-Touring depending on your riding style
• An adaptive tread design
• A bi-compound rear tyre
• Silica-based compounds throughout

Super-Sport or Sport-Touring, depending on your riding style:

In relaxed riding, the long grooves provide optimal water evacuation and good tread mobility, allowing for quick warm-up and a maximised contact patch, leading to more comfort and grip: the optimal behaviour of a Sport-Touring tyre.

In sporty riding, when the tyre is used at a higher pace, the groove walls come closer together for more stability. This allows the compound to deliver its full grip potential, improving trajectory precision, especially when leaning, thus offering the behaviour of a Super-Sport tyre.

The ROADTEC™ 02 enhances riding pleasure and handling:

The contact surface is very neutral due to the reduced number of grooves on the tread, increasing its quality and handling.

Fewer grooves translate to fewer contact interruptions, leading to less vibration, less noise, and a more consistent lean.

The ROADTEC™ 02 improves grip on dry surfaces:

A larger area of rubber in contact with the ground generates more grip. Additionally, the adaptive tread design increases its compactness and responsiveness as the pace increases.

This compound makes up about 80% of the tyre's width, evenly distributed on each side.

The ROADTEC™ 02 improves grip on wet surfaces:

The new generation of 100% silica compounds at both the front and rear enhances chemical grip on wet roads.

The use of the same compounds on the front and rear shoulders provides a uniform contact feel when leaning.
