Roadtec Z8 Interact™ Metzeler's Roadtec Z8 Interact™ sport-touring motorcycle tyre is now ready for the highways and mountain roads with several much appreciated advances including its Greek Pi (π) tread pattern, new contoured profiles and nano-scale compound solutions matched to a well-proven Interact™: Multi Zone Tension technology structure for performances from the first mile, at full-load and in all weather conditions. The combination of these features make Roadtec Z8 Interact™ the perfect tyre for modern Sport Touring needs, dedicated to riders making long-distance journeys and to devoted all-season sport riders with reliability and riding easiness to enjoy the distance, safely.Easy riding for maximum enjoymentMetzeler's Roadtec Z8 Interact™ is yet another class-leading tyre committed to riding enjoyment, that is, a tyre with versatility of use, comfort and safety (especially under wet conditions) that permits you to focus on the ride. Roadtec Z8 Interact™ provides increased riding enjoyment initially through a new generation CMT (Contour Modeling Technology) profile that reduces push steering force by 5% versus its predecessor, immediately elevating the overall handling capabilities and easiness of various bike setups. This was achieved through a reduced cap section height, resulting in a more rounded curvature design to improve handling and increased stability. Although the profile has measurably quicker steering transitions, an incredible safety feeling is still present through a predictable turn-in rate that adds confidence to challenging riding such as panic situations on the wet while braking or low-speed turns on mountain passes.Additional elements of riding enjoyment like excellent handling, stability and reduced road noise are attained by mating this tyre profile to the latest structural innovation: Interact™ multi zone tension technology, along with a functional tread pattern and temperature resistant compounds. A final footprint area 8% wider as compared to theRoadtec Z6 Interact™ is the outcome of a variation of steel belt tensions and a strategically placed tread pattern which optimises pressures in the footprint area. THE BEST WET BEHAVIOUR IN THE SEGMENTWet braking and wet behaviour on motorcycle tyres have become a more and more relevant feature, especially where sudden rain fall may be encountered at any time and a high level of safety is required. Metzeler decided to develop the new (M) and (O) specifications of the Roadtec Z8 Interact™ with the precise objective to give to riders the latest technology developed for wet behaviour maintaining the high level of all other performance requirements. The result is a tyre that is the new performance reference in all weather conditions. We are proud to introduce the new reference of safety and wet performances of the segment. |
