Increased grip on wet roads, with a focus on low friction surfaces (such as city streets and worn tarmac, low temperature), thanks to radial positioning of grooves
Rebalanced tire stiffness to allow a better adherence of the rubber with the tarmac micro-asperities, increasing mechanical grip even on lower friction surfaces
Belt and carcass tension parameters upgraded to increase stability on rear tires during strong braking
Increased mileage vs. Roadtec Z8 Interact (up to 10%), thanks to a different footprint shape (larger and shorter) which also enhances motorcycle handling
Higher wear resistance, obtained through a revised land/sea ratio on the rear tire in conjunction with the new tread design, ensures product performance consistency allowing users to enjoy the tire for its entire service life
Metzeler multi-compound rear on selected sizes, with increased harmonization between the different compounds
HWM (Heavy Weight Motorcycles) special version available to improve performances on motorcycles requiring them (see Metzeler website for details)
The Roadtec Z8 Interact also incorporates three tensions zones to provide best in-segment mileage and optimal wet performance throughout the tire's life thanks to an innovative tread pattern, a widened and more elliptical footprint, and a host of wear-resistant technologies not normally seen in motorcycle tires
New O-spec replacment for BMW K 1600 GT and K 1600 GTL
Everything about the new Roadtec Z8 Interact has been designed to put the rider in control; it responds like an extension of the rider's instincts, creating an invigorating blend of precise riding feel and effortless handling
High-silica compound with nano-particles increases performance and safety in all weather conditions
All-new profile matched with new patented tread design provides easy handling and reduced push steering for maximum confidence in all maneuvers
A final footprint area 8% wider as compared to its predecessor
O-Spec rears feature a 2-ply carcass for heavy sport-touring bikes
M-Spec rears feature dual-compound construction
Metzeler's patented tread pattern reduces front tire land-sea ratio to 11% and the rear tire land-sea ratio to 13%. 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
The updated design of the Roadtec Z8 improves wear regularity, which gives riders the benefit of a consistent riding performance across the tire's entire life
Tubeless (TL)
W-rated for speeds up to 168 mph or (W)-rated for speeds of 168+ mph
