Are all new Metzler Roadtec Z6s Interact?

[mervingry]

Asked the Motorrad dealer to install new Metzler Roadtec Z6 Interact tires on my F800ST during the 20,000 km service yesterday.

Question: Not sure if the Interacts were installed since the wording on the tire simply says "Metzler Roadtec Z6", without the word "Interact" anywhere on the tire. Service guy said that all Roadtec Z6s are now Interact. Is he correct?

My dealer told me the Interact is a replacement/next generation version of the Z6. There is still supply of the older model out there. I don't know how the markings differ.

Metzeler Interact

I think all of the Interacts will have a red stripe through them.
Refer to Metzeler's website:

"The successor of Roadtec Z6, able thanks to the revolutionary INTERACTÔäó technology to offer the best performance answering the new needs of the modern sport touring riders.

Lots of regular Z6's are still around

My Metzler Roadtec Z6 Interacts say "Interact" on the sidewall. No red stripes either. Your service tech is incorrect and sold you the previous model.
