This new sport-touring tire replaces the Roadtec Z8 Interact, with new materials, compounds, profiles and tread patterns. Developed to offer class leading levels of grip in all weather conditions, perfect for Sports Touring, Naked/Sports bikes and Adventure machines. We have one set of these for a Ducati Forum Member (must have at least 10 posts to enter!). Tyres not out until January so delivery will be after xmas. Gives high-mileage and consistent ‘wear’. Offers great stability at high speed and with the bike fully loaded. Is the successor to the well-known Roadtec™ Z8 Interact™ although it has been developed from a completely new set of criteria, hence its all-new 01 designation and features a totally redesigned tread pattern. Specifically the front tyre has grooves that are more transversal with respect to the rolling direction of the tyre. This has made it possible to increase the ‘mechanical grip’ on slippery surfaces and in different riding situations. The contact area with the tarmac is now wider and shorter and, working together with the 0-degree steel-belt technology of all Metzeler-branded products, guarantees higher mileage and long lasting performance ie no ‘sudden drop in grip as the tyre wears. A Heavy Weight Motorcycles (HWM) version is available, offering greater stability for heavyweight Tourers used with luggage. The tyres will be available from January in all major sizes for this area of the market. Price TBA.
I'm from New Zealand and I have entered, in the unlikely event I win I will sell to the highest bidder and donate to a worthy GB charity of Rob/El T's choosing.
Congrats to @kev cornwall - winner of this competition. Will be in contact to arrange delivery of the new tyres. Cheers, Rob.
