The Metzeler Sportec M9 RR rear motorcycle tire is designed for sport riding, daily cornering, and confident performance across changing pavement and weather conditions. This 190/50ZR17 tire fits motorcycles that specify a rear tire in this size and load/speed rating, with a 73W rating for high-speed use. Always confirm the required fitment, clearance, and manufacturer specifications for your motorcycle before installation.
Metzeler's innovative carcass technology creates a larger working area for the tread compound while maintaining structural stiffness. The result is a responsive, predictable feel when accelerating, braking, and leaning through corners, combined with smooth handling for everyday riding. The Sportec M9 RR is engineered to provide consistent performance throughout the tire's service life.
An extended dual-compound tread helps balance cornering grip with abrasion resistance, delivering improved mileage compared with the Sportec M7 RR. The 100% silica compound helps control heat buildup and preserve tire integrity, supporting dependable performance across a broad range of riding conditions. The tread pattern uses strategically positioned grooves to improve water evacuation at moderate lean angles, while the narrow center groove helps cut through standing water. Slick shoulder areas maintain a continuous contact patch during deep cornering.
Manufactured by Metzeler, the Sportec M9 RR rear tire combines supersport handling with practical road usability. Vendor part number 3617200 identifies this rear 190/50ZR17 (73W) application.
