【METZELER 3617100 SPORTEC M9 RR 180/55 ZR 17 M/C 73W Rear Radial Tubeless Motorcycle Tire On-road Sport Race Touring SPORTEC】
【Ride the Unexpected！】

・A super sport tire that enhances riding enjoyment by eliminating unexpected concerns, regardless of changes in road surface or weather, making it a "tire for everyday enjoyment."
【Excellent Handling】

・Strong structure
The innovative cord technology of the METZELER SPORTEC M9 RR contributes to the dynamic performance of the compound without compromising tire rigidity.
・Riding enjoyment
The rigid structure provides light and predictable responses during riding operations, while offering a smooth, relaxed, and enjoyable ride.
【Fast Warm-up, Excellent Wet Response】

・Super sport tire with full silica compound
The full silica compound adopted for the SPORTEC M9 RR, both front and rear, is a result of an innovative mixing process and ultra-fine silica blending.
・High grip from the first corner
The SPORTEC M9 RR performs optimally even at low temperatures. Fast warm-up allows you to ride with confidence from the first corner.
・Super sport tire pattern optimized for water drainage
The sharp central part efficiently drains water into the adjacent longitudinal grooves. These grooves provide excellent stability, and water displacement increases with speed and deteriorating weather conditions.
【Abundant Grip to Support Even Challenging Situations】

・Enhanced cornering grip and consistency across the entire profile
The cap & base dual-compound structure provides enhanced cornering grip from the soft compound on the shoulders. This soft compound is supported by a hard compound layer, ensuring performance consistency and thermal balance. It provides excellent grip regardless of wet or dry road conditions.
・Excellent straight-line stability, maximum confidence at full lean
The directional central groove provides stability when upright. The intermediate lean grooves offer maximum grip and perfect feedback during cornering. The slick shoulders enhance confidence at full lean.
【Maximum Performance Until the End of Tire Life】

・Excellent thermal balance
Full silica prevents excessive deformation and overheating, ensuring maximum performance throughout the tire's life.
・Extended tire life with dual compound
Due to the dual compound on both front and rear, and optimized wear conditions, tire life is extended by 10% (compared to METZELER SPORTEC M7 RR).
