Metzeler Roadtec 01 SE180/55 ZR17 73W M/C TL Rear Tyre

The Metzeler Roadtec 01 SE 180/55 ZR17 73W M/C TL is a rear motorcycle tyre offering sporty handling, dependable wet-road performance and consistent touring ability. While this 180/55 ZR17 is attributed to the Super Sport category in our database here, Metzeler categorizes their ROADTEC 01 SE as a Sport Touring tyre targeted towards sport tourers, naked bikes, supersport motorcycles and adventure motorcycles. This means that while this rear fitment is designed for the sportiest of riding styles, it has a touring ability that satisfies longer distance riding requirements. This rear motorcycle tyre uses a tubeless radial construction in the 180/55 ZR17 size, with a load index of 73 and a W speed rating. The 73 load index equates to a maximum load capacity of 365 kg for this specification, with the W rating corresponding to speeds of up to 270 km/h (as per Metzeler technical data). The recommended measuring rim is 5.50 inches in width with an allowable rim-width range of 5.50–6.00 inches. This should always correspond with your motorcycle manufacturer's approved tyre size and load/speed requirements. The ROADTEC 01 SE features a 40-20-40 dual-compound rear construction, with the central section using a silica and carbon-black compound to offer high-speed stability and heat dispersion, while the full-silica side sections offer chemical grip and faster warm-up at the shoulders of the contact patch. The tread design has different groove profiles to aid with water drainage, traction on lower-friction surfaces and stability during braking. The higher land-to-sea ratio on the shoulders ensures that there is more rubber on the road when ridden at greater angles of lean, providing cornering feel and line retention.
