The Metzeler SPORTEC 01 RS R 200/55R17 78W is a rear motorcycle tyre developed for sport-touring riders who expect high levels of grip in both aggressive and long-distance riding. It offers a tyre profile that enhances contact patch size throughout the lean arc to deliver stable cornering stability and refined steering response. Construction balances performance with durability for extended road use.

Dual-compound technology and a precisely shaped tread promote effective water evacuation and secure wet grip without compromising dry traction. A reinforced carcass improves load capacity and supports even wear during hard acceleration and braking. Driving comfort and predictable feedback are achieved through calibrated stiffness across the tread while braking distance benefits from the tyre’s consistent footprint.

Riders will appreciate confident turn-in and steady handling on long rides and sporty runs alike. The 01 RS R provides reassurance in mixed conditions and retains strong durability for touring distances. It is suitable for UK riders who want a versatile sport-touring rear tyre with reliable performance.
