Racetec SM K1

The Metzeler Racetec SM K1 is a high-performance tire meticulously engineered for supermoto racing and demanding track day applications. This tire caters to professional racers and serious enthusiasts seeking the ultimate edge in competitive environments. The Racetec SM K1 delivers exceptional grip and handling, inspiring confidence when braking and cornering.

The K1 compound is optimized for increased thermal stability and quick warm-up, making it suitable for colder temperatures and dirt track sections. Its construction incorporates a 0° steel belt, which promotes uniform force distribution, contributing to stability and precise steering. The tire's profile is designed to maximize the contact surface area during braking and cornering, further enhancing grip and control. The front tires feature 100% silica compounds with reduced porosity to ensure fast warm-up and self-cleaning properties, especially after riding on dirt track sections.

Compared to other supermoto tires, the Metzeler Racetec SM K1 stands out with its ability to provide predictable drift, allowing for ease of control in every cornering phase. The Racetec SM is the only supermoto tire that uses a 0° radial steel belt on both the front and rear tires, along with a lightweight carcass to promote easy handling and precise trajectory. The Racetec SM delivers quick warm-up and immediate self-cleaning in all compounds, thanks to an innovative mixing process and high ultra-fine silica content, and can be used without tire warmers. The UTQG treadwear rating of 40 indicates that this tire is designed for maximum grip and performance, with a trade-off in longevity.
