Metzeler Roadtec 01 SE Motorcycle tyres are radial, tubeless sport-touring tyres ideal for the rider looking for sporty handling, outstanding grip in corners and confidence-inspiring road performance from their every-day ride and long distance adventures. Despite being categorized under the Super Sport in this review, Metzeler classifies ROADTEC 01 SE as a part of its Sport Touring tyres, with the application range including naked, trail/adventure and supersport motorcycles.
The focus of the design is on improving sport-oriented characteristics while also retaining the practical aspects associated with a road-going touring tyre. Metzeler reports a slick shoulder area for improved grip at maximum lean angles and the shortening of the shoulder grooves for progressive cornering performance and water evacuation for confidence during cornering in wet conditions. The front tyre utilizes a full-silica compound while the rear tyre employs a two-layer 40-20-40 construction to balance the cornering forces applied to the front and rear wheels with the center compound optimized for stability at higher speeds.
The ROADTEC 01 SE range also offers other radial, tubeless sizes including 120/70 ZR17 M/C (58W) for the front and 160/60 ZR17 M/C (69W), 170/60 ZR17 M/C 72W, 180/55 ZR17 M/C (73W), 190/50 ZR17 M/C (73W) and 190/55 ZR17 M/C (75W) for the rear. Metzeler technical data also reports 120/70 ZR19 M/C 60W and 150/70 R17 M/C 69V variants among others in the wider ROADTEC 01 SE range.
Load and speed ratings should also be considered when choosing the appropriate ROADTEC 01 SE. For example, 120/70 ZR17 (58W) indicates that the given tyre size accommodates a 58-load index and W speed rating. Similarly, 180/55 ZR17 (73W) accommodates a 73-load index and W speed rating. These tyres are recommended for compatible road motorcycles including but not limited to selected naked and supersport; fitment sources report Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX, Suzuki GSX-S1000GT, BMW F900XR, Honda CBR650R, Triumph Street Triple 765 and Yamaha MT-09 among others. Nonetheless, each motorcycle brand, model, year, wheel size and front/rear combination should be considered for best fit.
