Features

• Rear tires feature Metzeler multi-zone compound

• New O-spec replacment for BMW K 1600 GT and K 1600 GTL
• 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
• High-silica compound with nano-particles increases performance and safety in all weather conditions
