Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact Tires

The new Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact allows the rider to keep everything under control. The Road Tec Z8 follows the rider’s 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.

Notes:

• 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
• 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 RadialInnovative belt structure with a single ply of steel cords wrapped around a radial carcass at 0°. Patented high performance technology by Metzeler for both front and rear tires. Steel features a higher stiffness than textile and this allows the reduction of the tire weight. Steel radial belt reduces the dynamic deformation of the tire under centrifugal forces giving the tire excellent high-speed stability. Thanks to the more uniform heat distribution, mileage is increased and wear characteristics are more uniform.technology
• MAW (Metzeler Advanced Winding)Metzeler Advanced Winding (MAW) is a patented system for optimum spacing between the cords of the 0° steel belt. In certain sections of the tire, the steel cords are wound with different spacing depending on the performance requirements on that particular area of the tire. On both front & rear tires the spacing is wider in the crown area for more elasticity and self-damping. For sections of the tire used for mid lean, there is increased stiffness to support fast cornering. On the shoulder area on the rear tire, the spacing is again wider for safe feedback and control when riding towards full lean.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
• O-Spec features a bi-compound design and a 2-ply carcass for heavy sport-touring bikes
• E-Spec tire is OE on Honda NC700X
• K-Spec tire is OE on BMW K1300GT
• M-Spec tires feature a bi-compound design
• (W)-rated for speeds of 168+ mph
• It is recommended to change your valve stem, tube and/or rim strip when installing a new tire.Shop Here!
