Outstanding handling

Great riding pleasure?: The strong structure provides a quick and predictable response to riding inputs whilst at the same time delivers an enjoyable, smooth and relaxed riding experience.

Wet

The first Supersport tire with 100% silica: Thanks to the innovative mixing process and to ultra-fine silica, SPORTEC™ M9 RR is the first Supersport tire featuring 100% silica in all compounds for both front and rear sizes.

High grip since the first corner: SPORTEC™ M9 RR performs optimally also at low temperature. The speed of warm-up, allows you to confidently enjoy your first corner.

Supersport tread design optimized for water drainage: The sharp central contact patch efficiently moves standing water into the adjacent longitudinal grooves. The grooves deliver outstanding stability, by draining more water as speeds increase and as the weather worsens.

Planty of Grip

High cornering grip, large consistency over the entire profile: The Cap&Base dual-compound layout consists of a soft compound on the side to promote high cornering grip. This is supported by a harder layer to ensure consistency and thermal balance. Regardless of how wet the surface is, or the level of the tarmac, significant levels of grip are provided.

Great stability on straight, superb confidence at full lean: The directional center grooves deliver stability when upright. Mid-lean grooves maximize the grip to deliver flawless feedback when cornering. The slick shoulders further enhance your riding confidence when at full lean.

Mileage

Perfected thermal balance: 100% full silica prevents overheating and preserves tire integrity, for maximum performance throughout the entire lifespan.

Extended dual-compound: Dual-compound for both front and rear sizes optimizes abrasion resistance and extends mileage by more than 10%* *compared to METZELER SPORTEC™ M7 RR
