German motorcycle tire specialist Metzeler has a wide selection of rubber for all sorts of motorcycles. Acquired by the Pirelli group in 1986, Metzeler has made quite a name for itself over the years, and today remains of the respected brands when it comes to performance-oriented motorcycle tires. The brand caters to the growing “supersport touring” segment with the launch of its newest tires, the Roadtec 02.
First released in 2016, the Roadtec 01 set the standard for a lot of riders when it came to a versatile tire that combined the range of a touring tire with the performance of a sport tire. Now, its successor, the Roadtec 02, hopes to take everything we’ve come to love about the Roadtec 01 and make it better in terms of performance, longevity, and even sustainability. For starters, Metzeler says that the new Roadtec 02 combines touring characteristics such as high mileage and wet grip with supersport profiles for sharper handling.
