The Metzeler Racetec SM Rear K0 NHS 165/55R17 0 is a race-oriented motorcycle rear tyre developed for track use on Supermoto machines where maximum grip and fast heat build-up are essential. It is intended exclusively for competition and closed-course events, delivering precise traction and stability when pushed to the limit. The tread profile and compound are selected to provide a sharp contact patch and immediate adherence on tarmac surfaces. Competition-focused compound ensures rapid warm-up and consistent grip across racing stints.

The construction emphasises lateral rigidity and optimized footprint to support aggressive cornering stability and instant steering response. The tyre sacrifices long mileage for peak performance, prioritising grip and minimal braking distance in race scenarios. Its carcass tune offers predictable deformation under load, aiding control during quick direction changes. Aggressive tread geometry promotes efficient water evacuation where applicable, although primary use is dry track conditions.

For riders this tyre gives clear, communicative feedback and confidence when attacking corners hard, delivering consistent lap times and dependable behaviour under race loads. It is a specialist product that enhances motorcycle performance in competitive environments.
