PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS
ROADTEC Z6 INTERACT represents Metzeler way of innovation. Instead of pushing on a single element of the tyre like the compound which is then subjected to wear, Metzeler established that is more effective to improve the whole tyre system. Making the tyre elements interact to the maximum level means improving the interaction between the tyre and the ground, the tyre and the bike, the tyre and the external environment. This is the key of the new INTERACT technology. ROADTEC Z6 was perfection, ROADTEC Z6 INTERACT is the evolution, the fine tuning which guarantees it to be the perfect tyre for the new generation of bikes and riders.

The "GT" version
Prominent motorcycle tyre manufacturer Dunlop has launched the Sportmax Roadsmart, designed for sport touring motorcycles. This is a tyre that Dunlop is confident delivers outstanding performance on wet roads and matchless all around sport touring performance, qualities that are the fruit of more than two years global research effort.
The new tyre, which is reported to out-perform its predecessor, the Sportmax D220ST, in all areas, shows strong performance improvement on wet surfaces. This result was obtained whilst improving the conflicting demand of mileage performance, which was already recognised as one of the major strengths of the Sportmax D220ST.
“These improvements result from the combination of our latest Dunlop Sportmax hypersport tyres’ attributes with new compounding and construction technologies for an optimised performance in all riding, road and weather conditions,” said Sanjay Khanna, managing director Dunlop Motorcycle.
This is not a normal tyre review; in fact the tyre we test in the video below is still a prototype. It's call the Dunlop SportMax RoadSmart and to say it is an important tyre for Dunlop would be a massive understatement.
Check out the video below to see our exclusive test of the prototype tyre.
For every motorcyclist who loves enduro, Metzeler is a brand which represents a particular value, an image of excellence and a tradition of success. Street enduro riders view the Metzeler TOURANCE as the product which sets the standard. Metzeler technicians have pressed on with their development work and have come up with a new product in response to the increasing specialisation of bikes in this class.
This was the origin of the TOURANCE EXP, which stands out for its delivery of maximum performance in the sports touring which modern maxi-enduros allow, without sacrificing the possibility of taking light off-road detours in its stride. To ensure the level of excellence which Metzeler has always offered its enthusiasts, and to put Metzeler once again in lead position with this innovative product, the new TOURANCE EXP is the first tyre to equip not just the rear but the front as well with Metzeler’s patented solution of the zero degree spiral wound steel belt. With an aggressive design and world-class performance, the TOURANCE EXP is being launched to meet the characteristic requirements for this kind of riding – stability, long tyre life and grip in the wet – thanks to the advanced Metzeler technology applied to the various components of this product. Compound, structure, tread design: all the elements have been designed to offer the maximum performance.
