METZELER - 3617100 - Sportec™ M9 RR Tire
For riders on wider, higher-powered sportbikes, this 180-width Sportec M9 RR rear (73W rated) is built to handle the extra load without losing the tire's core traits: quick, predictable turn-in and a stable, planted feel mid-corner. Metzeler's chord technology opens up more space for the rubber to work dynamically under load, and the full silica compound is formulated specifically to resist overheating during hard, sustained cornering. Combined with the extended dual compound's mileage gain of over 10% versus the previous-generation M7 RR, it's a tire built to survive aggressive riding rather than just tolerate it.
