- Optimized tread pattern design aids in quicker warm-up times and improved wear characteristics
- Updated front and rear compounds off improved grip and warm-up times
| Tire - Sportec* M9 RR - Rear - 180/55ZR17 - 73W
The strong structure provides a quick and predictable response to riding inputs whilst at the same time delivers an enjoyable, smooth and relaxed riding experience, The Supersport tire for your daily leans, enhancing the pleasure of riding without worrying about the unexpected, be that changing tarmac or weather conditions, METZELER SPORTEC* M9 RR innovative chord technology has contributes to a larger space for the rubber to dynamically perform, without effecting the stiffness, Extended dual-compound for both front and rear sizes optimizes abrasion resistance and extends mileage by more than 10% over the Sportec M7 RR, 100% full silica prevents overheating and preserves tire integrity, for the maximum performance throughout the entire lifespan, Mid-lean groove layout provides massive mid-lean water drainage and painless feedback while cornering, Narrow slick center carves through standing water while longitudinal grooves maximze water drainage, Slick shoulders for continuous compound footprint in full lean
| Tire - Road 6 - Rear - 180/55ZR17 - (73W)
MICHELIN® 2CT+ Technology*, which has been standard on the rear tire, is now applied to the front tire for better rigidity at lean, and more stability when cornering, especially under strong acceleration or heavy braking, compared to the previous generation, 15% more grip than the MICHELIN® Road 5 tire in wet conditions thanks to 100% MICHELIN? Silica Technology* tread compounds and a new tread pattern featuring MICHELIN? Water Evergrip Technology* (see 1st note), The MICHELIN? Road 6 tire delivers 10% longer tread life compared to the previous generation (see 2nd note), (1) Based on internal lap time testing conducted in '20 in Fontange, France on wet surfaces using a '18 SUZUKI 1250 Bandit S fitted with 120/70 ZR 17 front and 180/55 ZR17 rear tires comparing MICHELIN? Road 6 and MICHELIN® Road 5 tires. Actual results may vary., (2) Based on external wear testing conducted in '20 by Dekra in France using a '14 BMW K1300R fitted with 120/70 ZR 17 front and 180/55 ZR17 rear tires comparing weight loss of MICHELIN® Road 6 and MICHELIN® Road 5 tires after 2500 miles. Actual results may vary.
