Metzeler Sportec M9 RR140/70 R17 66H M/C TL Rear Tyre

Metzeler Sportec M9 RR 140/70 R17 66H M/C TL is a rear motorcycle tyre, ideal for those seeking supersport-oriented road performance, responsive handling and dependable grip on varying conditions. This 140/70 R17 rear fitment is listed by Metzeler with a 66H load/speed rating and tubeless (TL) construction. It is therefore crucial to match the appropriate specification of tyre size, load index, speed rating and rim requirements to the motorcycle manufacturer's recommendations. Developed for Metzeler's Sport range, the Sportec M9 RR features a reinforced structure for a quick response to rider inputs. The full-silica compound offers a rapid warm-up and wet response, while the tread pattern's design aids in directing water away from the contact patch, through longitudinal grooves. As such, the tyre is relevant to the rider who spends most of their time on the road, but still seek an extra sporty edge to their riding performance, with confidence in their cornering abilities. The 140/70 R17 rear tyre employs a Cap&Base dual compound, which utilises a softer shoulder compound to aid cornering grip and a harder lower part, to offer improved consistency and thermal performance. Slick shoulder areas offer a consistent contact patch when leaned into a corner, while the central and mid-lean groove arrangement aid in water evacuation and stability. Metzeler claims that the dual compound construction has been developed to offer improved abrasion resistance, and therefore increased mileage in comparison to the previous Sportec M7 RR. With a 66 load index, the tyre accommodates a load of up to 300kg for the appropriate rating system and the H speed rating accommodates up to 210km/h. Always cross reference the load and speed ratings to the motorcycle manufacturer's recommended specification prior to purchase or fitting. Compatible motorcycles will vary depending on the model year and manufacturer fitment recommendations. It is therefore important to check the relevant 140/70 R17 specification in your motorcycle's documentation prior to purchase rather than just tyre size.
