METZELER ROADTEC 02 TIRE
$TBA
www.metzeler.com
Expected in January 2024, the RoadTec 02 is
the latest sport-touring tire from Metzeler for
large-displacement street bikes. Compared to
its predecessor, the RoadTec 01, it is updated
to provide improvements in handling and
grip, especially on wet surfaces. The high-
mileage tire is made from new compounds that
reduce warm-up times, and its new chassis is
engineered to better hold a line while
leaning, reducing the "straightening
effect" when cornering. The RoadTec 02
is Metzeler's first product that's made
from a high percentage of recycled
and natural origin biomass (plants and
vegetables) materials.
