Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact Rear Tire

The new Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact allows the rider to keep everything under control. The tire follows the riders instincts with a sublime blend of precise and effortless handing. The wet weather handling of motorcycle tires, and especially the braking performance in wet conditions, is becoming an increasingly important feature demanded by the sport-touring rider. This rider requirement occurs especially if it rains suddenly and a high level of security is needed. Metzeler designed the Z8 with the demands of modern sport riders in mind.

Features:

• Multi Zone Tension technology, new updated tread profiles and functional tread pattern place the Z8 Roadtec Interact at the top of the sport touring tire class
• M-Spec and O-Spec tires feature a bi-compound design
• 8% wider final footprint area than its predecessor due to the variation of steel belt tensions and a strategically placed tread pattern which optimizes pressures in the footprint area
• 0° Steel Radial technology
• MAW (Metzeler Advanced Winding) technology
• The profile shape, inspired by the Greek letter "Pi", maximizes the flexibility of the profile, thus ensuring an optimum tire footprint under in all conditions
• The 3-zone-tension Interact ™ Technology gives outstanding mileage and sporty cornering grip
• FCM (Fine Carbon Mix) High Silica compound with Nano particles ensures performance and safety in all weather conditions
• Innovative tread pattern, a widened and more elliptical footprint and a host of wear-resistant technologies not normally seen in motorcycle tires give the Roadtec Z8 Interact its best-in-segment mileage and optimal wet performance throughout the tires life
• New patented tread pattern with strategically placed longitudinal central grooves provide ideal drainage for more than 3/4 of all lean angles in the wet. The remaining tread grooves work to add tread flexibility, extending the footprint for stability in the dry
• Updated design improves wear regularity which gives riders the benefit of a consistent riding performance across the tires entire life
• (W)-rated for speeds of 168+ mph
