METZELER - 3617000 - Sportec™ M9 RR Tire
This 160-width Sportec M9 RR rear rounds out the middle of Metzeler's supersport lineup, aimed at riders who want confident daily-lean performance whether the tarmac and weather cooperate or not. Metzeler's mid-lean groove layout pushes water away from the contact patch during cornering, while the narrow slick center and longitudinal grooves handle straight-line drainage. The fully silica dual compound is built to resist heat buildup through hard riding, keeping the tire's integrity — and grip — consistent from the first mile to the last, and mileage runs over 10% longer than the outgoing Sportec M7 RR.
