I'd rather have had a tyre comparison against similar tyres like Michelin Road 6 than have the Metzeler marketing material read to me.....

@zenrising3314 25 күн бұрын

That's how this channel has always been. He'd lose all his press day invites and perks from manufacturers if he told the truth and gave proper reviews. That's why it's so vanilla. It's generally about announcing what's new, rather than unbiased reviews. For better or worse.

So how do they perform?

@alanfielding3491 Ай бұрын

I think its a miss on this video for me, you really didn't tell us anything about the actual feel of these tires when riding and you certainly didn't compare against anything similar. Im left disappointed with this video. Sorry MOTOBOB Just my opinion.

i agree. just reading out the press release imo

You do realize that he has to bring on companies and sponsors to make money for videos to supply to you for FREE!. that will on occasion call for a product spotlight. You'd be lying to yourself and everyone around you if said that you wouldn't take the money to keep the dream alive. So get off your high horse commoner.

Running these on my Speedy 1050 RS at the moment, not done the mileage on them to be able to give an in depth review yet but so far compared to the road 5 I have taken off I’m impressed, bike feels sharper and I can feel what it’s doing through the bars more and through my arse. Will see how they feel with some more miles under my belt.

@RamLimko Ай бұрын

I am excited to try those tires. They will be my next choise, definitely. 🤩 Thenk you for posting this video! 😇

Been on a series of Pilot Roads (2 to 5) for the last decade but I was impressed by the German magazine Motorrad’s mega tyre group test that placed Roadtec 01s highest & also last year Ride magazine rated the SEs as the best sports touring tyre so these are definitely the ones I’m fitting next. 👍🏽

Well I've worn out the M9rr getting the Road tec 02 on next week. should be interesting. Would have liked to see a chart 02 vs the 9rr like the chart vs the 01 SE>

Sounds interesting, not a lot of reviews on the internet but i might give it a try !

@nickrider5220 Ай бұрын

Interesting tyre, might try them next year. Loved the m7rr, a super confident feeling sporty tyre, but the rear lasts less than 2,800 miles on my bike. I've been trying sports touring tyres to see how they cope with me and my bike.....so these look good 👍🏻

I’ll wait for a decent in depth review on the riders thoughts, instead of regurgitating Metz 02 blurb.

@duncanorr5926 Ай бұрын

Waiting for these to come into stock. What would you choose between the roadtec 02 and the michelin road 6? Feel like the michelin is still going to be the wet weather choice, but the 02 looks like it'll be better for the sunday blast.

If Metzeler would like to bring me over to the Isle of Man to review their tyres I'm available.

@lifted_above Ай бұрын

Would wonder if the flex of the tread to its "braced" position would induce some unwanted heat at the input force needed to reach that state.

@stuartnisbet5483 Ай бұрын

How did they compare to the Dunlops that come on the GSX8S? Thinking of swapping the Dunlops out this summer for something with more feel and grip

@BaldandTyred 27 күн бұрын

I’m running these on my speed triple 1050 RS at the moment, had road 5 on before. The feel and ‘flick ability’ of the 02 is quite an improvement. I can feel more through the bars and more through my arse. Obviously it’s subjective but so far I’m impressed. Need to get past that new tyre feeling to be more objective but so far so good. The OE dunlops are made to a cost point for the manufacture (they scrimp on tread and material savings etc) so you might find that a replacement set of the same tyre feels completely different but I’m impressed with the 02 so far

Roadtec 01 rear rubber had better styling. Thats why i got it 😅

I literally just put those on my bike. Hopefully they wont melt like everything's else 😂. 260kg the bike,30kg panniers,92kg myself and 65kg my gf. No wonder haha

@thebrowns5337 Ай бұрын

I'm just surprised Bob wasn't slagging it off as soon as he found out it was 'sustainable'. Any bike that meets the latest euro emissions regs gets shade thrown at it and is gaslighted by saying it's 'probably' heavier (when it's actually lighter) or has 'less power' when it has more.

@kennethkennard5885 Ай бұрын

Metzler had that for years it was called the Z8, the Roadtech 01 was basically a rain tire and was too soft to deal with a Multistrada 2up and laoded.

@ttrguy9952 Ай бұрын

I love the Metzler tires! I have the Tourance Next's on my 1200 tiger GT Explorer and I just put the SportTec's on my Thruxton R to replace the Pirelli Rossa Corsa original tires. My Pirelli's were down to the core in 3000 miles. That's ridiculous for a street tire! Great review on the Roadtec's. 👍👍

This was NOT a review! it was an advertisement! Where's your integrity?

@Bodenfuzzi Ай бұрын

Indeed I get more and more tired of so called "reviews" by "independent" content creators who are after being invited to the next press release. To be ignored....

@flatcapcaferacer Ай бұрын

I think the harshest criticism you can give is questioning someone's integrity. I certainly wouldn't go that far based solely on this video so I disagree with your words questioning his integrity. Perhaps the video would have been better if some comparisons to other comparable tires from Dunlop, Michelin, etc. I will agree the perception isn't good but it isn't enough for me to question his integrity.
