The Metzeler SPORTEC™ M7 RR is an extreme performance summer tire engineered for the discerning rider who demands exceptional grip and handling, whether carving canyons or participating in track days. This tire is designed to empower riders with a sporty riding style, no matter the conditions, weather, or temperature. Drawing upon Metzeler's extensive experience in road racing, including events like the Isle of Man TT, the SPORTEC™ M7 RR incorporates advanced technology to deliver high levels of safety and performance, even on challenging surfaces.
The SPORTEC™ M7 RR distinguishes itself with its ability to inspire confidence across a spectrum of riding environments. Its unique tread pattern, combined with a 100% silica compound, provides remarkable grip in cold and wet conditions, as well as on greasy or grimy tarmac. The tire's profile, derived from road racing, facilitates quick turn-in and agile handling, allowing for precise control and immediate response. The rear tire features a dual-compound layout, optimizing both grip and durability. A harder compound in the center provides elevated mileage capability, while softer compounds on the shoulders deliver exceptional grip while cornering.
Compared to its predecessor, the SPORTEC™ M5, the M7 RR offers a claimed 20% increase in mileage. The tire's construction features a radial carcass made of rayon and a zero-degree steel belt with Metzeler's Interact™ technology, which varies tension across the tire's width for progressive behavior at different lean angles. The tread pattern's design further enhances water drainage and reduces wear, making the SPORTEC™ M7 RR a well-rounded choice for riders seeking both performance and longevity. The UTQG treadwear rating is 168.
