Metzeler ME Z4

Metzeler ME Z4. Radial tyre with 0° steel belt for sport and sport-touring motorcycles from 600cc and up.

• World first 90° radial design front tyre with 0° steel belt! Outstanding handling, self damping and riding comfort.
• Extra-ordinary high speed stability.
• Single radius carcass contour limits tendency to 'stand up' under braking during cornering.
• Light weight improves cornering precision.
  METZELER transverse tread pattern ensures optimal force transfer under braking.
• Tread design engineered for excellent wet grip.
• Excellent top speed stability due to 0° steel belt.
  Superb dry and wet grip with newly developed Silica tread compound. Long life due to tread depth and compound.

METZELER - proven stability under all riding conditions - a real 'firework' in terms of riding fun offering the optimum in safety! Confirmed by the German press: "Genius rubber!" (in Motorradfahrer, 9/2001).

• Steel Radial - Innovative belt structure, with a single ply of steel bandinas wrapped at 0° around a radial carcass. Patented technology by Metzeler for both front and rear high performance tires. Steel features a higher stiffness than textile and this allows reducing the weight of the tire. Steel radial belt reduces the dynamic deformation of the tire under centrifugal forces giving the tire an excellent high-speed stability. Thanks to the more uniform heat distribution, mileage is increased and wear characteristics are more uniform.
• MAW - “Metzeler Advanced Winding” patented winding system for optimum spacing between the bandinas of the 0° steel belt. Depending on the cross section position, the steel cords are winded with differentiated spacing. On both front & rear tire they're wider in the crown area for more elasticity and self damping, closer in the areas involved in mid leans for improved stiffness during fast cornering. On the shoulder area, but for the rear only, they're again wider for safe feedback and control at grip limit.
• Multiple Radius Contour - Engineering technology for contour design dedicated to high performance riding. The contour curvature is differentiated between crown and shoulder area, in order to provide most intuitive and effective handling and grip characteristics. The crown and shoulder areas feature a sharper radius for faster and more precise handling (crown) and safer stability limit feedback (shoulder). A wider radius characterizes the side area, ensuring a larger contact patch for cornering stability.
