METZELER Sportec™ M9 RR Rear Tire 180/55ZR17 for Sport and Touring Bikes
The Metzeler Sportec™ M9 RR rear tire offers a balanced combination of agility, durability, and safety, making it an ideal choice for daily riders and sport enthusiasts. Designed with Metzeler's innovative chord technology, this tire features a larger rubber contact patch that ensures consistent and predictable handling response to every riding input. The structure delivers a smooth and relaxed riding experience, even when encountering changing road conditions or weather, enhancing overall riding pleasure. Its mid-lean groove layout facilitates efficient water drainage, providing confident grip during wet conditions without sacrificing cornering agility. The narrow slick center design cuts through standing water effectively, while longitudinal grooves maximize water evacuation, reducing risk of hydroplaning during rain. The slick shoulders ensure a continuous compound footprint in full lean, offering stability and grip during aggressive cornering. Built with a dual-compound formulation, both the front and rear tires are optimized for abrasion resistance and longevity, extending tire life by over 10% compared to previous models like the Sportec M7 RR. The full silica compound prevents overheating and maintains tire integrity, ensuring maximum performance throughout the tire’s lifespan. Whether for spirited riding on twisty roads or daily commuting, the Metzeler Sportec™ M9 RR rear tire combines innovative technology with reliable performance, providing riders with confidence in various riding conditions and extended mileage benefits.
