The Metzeler Sportec M9 RR is a high-performance rear motorcycle tire designed for riders who enjoy confident daily cornering, responsive handling, and smooth road manners. Built for sport-oriented riding, this 180/60ZR17 (75W) rear tire delivers a strong, predictable response to rider inputs while maintaining a comfortable and relaxed feel during everyday use. Its design supports enjoyable riding across changing pavement and weather conditions, making it a capable choice for riders who want sport performance without sacrificing versatility.
The Metzeler Sportec M9 RR uses innovative chord technology to create more working space for the rubber to perform dynamically while preserving the tire’s structural stiffness. An extended dual-compound construction is applied to both front and rear sizes to balance cornering performance with abrasion resistance. Compared with the Sportec M7 RR, the M9 RR is engineered to provide more than 10% greater mileage, helping extend service life during regular street riding. The 100% silica compound helps manage heat and maintain tire integrity throughout the tire’s lifespan, supporting consistent performance from the beginning to the end of use.
A mid-lean groove layout provides substantial water drainage and clear feedback while cornering. The narrow slick center section is designed to help cut through standing water, while longitudinal grooves assist with channeling water away from the contact area. Slick shoulder areas maintain a continuous compound footprint at full lean, supporting stable traction and confident transitions through corners. This Metzeler Sportec M9 RR rear tire is identified by manufacturer and vendor part number 3626800 and is designed for riders seeking a balanced combination of wet-weather control, sport handling, mileage, and everyday road usability.
