The ROADTEC Z8 INTERACT is a Premium Sport Touring radial tire built for motorcycles that tackle long distances, twisty roads, and unpredictable weather. It blends high-speed stability with wet-weather safety and long-lasting performance. Thanks to Metzeler’s patented Interact™ technology, it adapts to different riding styles and lean angles, making it a versatile choice for touring and spirited riding.
Key Features
Interact™ Multi-Tension Steel Belt Technology Varies tension across the tire for tailored grip, stability, and comfort at different lean angles.
High Silica Compound Enhances wet grip, abrasion resistance, and mileage—even when the tire is worn.
Greek π Tread Pattern Inspired by the Greek letter pi, this pattern improves water evacuation and mechanical grip across lean angles.
Three-Zone Tension Configuration
Center: High tension for stability and wear resistance
Mid-lean: Medium tension for balance
Edge: Low tension for flexibility and grip when cornering
Radial Grooves & Longitudinal Channels Designed to maintain water flow and grip even in deep water or at high lean angles.
0° Steel Belt Construction Reduces heat buildup and improves carcass support for high-speed touring.
