Description
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). O-Spec replacement for BMW K 1600 GT and K 1600 GTL. 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. Metzeler’s patented tread pattern reduces front tire land-sea ratio to 11% and the rear tire land-sea ratio to 13%. A final footprint area 8% wider as compared to its predecessor. 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. Rear tires feature Metzeler multi-zone compound. 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. O-Spec rears feature a 2-ply carcass for heavy sport-touring bikes. M-Spec rears feature dual-compound construction. 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.
