The Metzeler Sportec M9 RR is a high-performance rear motorcycle tire designed for riders who want responsive handling, confident cornering, and dependable performance during everyday sport riding. This rear tire uses a strong structure to provide quick, predictable feedback from the controls while maintaining a smooth and comfortable ride. Its 190/55ZR17 (75W) fitment is engineered for compatible sport and supersport motorcycles, making it well suited for daily riding, spirited leans, and changing road conditions. Metzeler delivers a balanced combination of agility, stability, and rider confidence without requiring extreme riding conditions to access the tire’s performance potential.
The Sportec M9 RR features innovative chord technology that creates a larger working area for the rubber to perform dynamically without compromising structural stiffness. An extended dual-compound construction on the front and rear range helps optimize abrasion resistance and delivers more than 10% greater mileage compared with the Sportec M7 RR. A 100% silica compound helps control heat buildup and maintain tire integrity, supporting consistent performance throughout the tire’s service life. These design elements help the tire remain predictable across a broad range of riding situations and road surfaces.
Metzeler’s mid-lean groove layout provides effective water drainage and clear feedback while cornering. The narrow slick center section is designed to cut through standing water, while longitudinal grooves assist with evacuating water from the contact area. Slick shoulder areas help maintain a continuous compound footprint at full lean, supporting smooth transitions and secure cornering behavior. This Metzeler Sportec M9 RR rear tire is identified by manufacturer part number 3617300 and vendor part number 3617300.
