The Metzeler SPORTEC M9 RR R 140/70R17 66H is a rear motorcycle tyre developed for sport riders seeking high grip and confidence on both road and track-focused rides. It is aimed at enthusiasts who demand sharp traction and quick feedback from the rear tyre under hard acceleration and aggressive cornering. The profile suits nimble sport bikes where rideability and performance must coexist.

A high-silica compound and a specific tread geometry increase the effective contact patch for enhanced grip and thermal stability. Tread channels are optimised for water evacuation to keep traction in damp conditions while maintaining consistent temperature for improved mileage. The tyre’s construction balances flex and rigidity to ensure responsive handling and reliable stability at higher lean angles.

For riders this tyre brings confident cornering stability and crisp steering response when transitioning between turns. Improved traction means shorter braking distance and stronger drive out of corners, translating into safer, faster laps on track days and more assurance during spirited road riding.
