![]() Not content with making superbike sized and shaped hoops, the smart people at Metzeler have created the M9RR in adventure bike sizes. Sizes include all popular sizes with a 110 and 120, 17″ fronts, and rears from 150/60 up to 200/55 profiles.įancy a more touring tyre? How about the Metzeler Roadtec? Designed for fast road riding on fast road machinery these M9RR have firmly hit the nail on the head. Grip levels are remarkable, full-throttle over white lines gives no tail-happy action, and the profile and softer edges give endless confidence when at lean. Is this the best value motorcycle modification? The tyre is wearing evenly across the surface, despite some heavy use. Warm-up times are reduced, the tyre gets hotter on the road, wet grip is noticeably higher with a more surefooted feel, great for confidence. ![]() Not for any reason I particular other than it being OEM fitment, but trying some more road-focused rubber has revolutionised my riding. Previously I have always had a more trackday focused tyre, with less tread, for the R1. I tend to ride smoothly, so I’m sure there are people getting even fewer miles than me. I’m not even the hardest of riders, I look after the tyres quite well. The R1 goes through a rear in around 2500 miles, so that extra 10% is very welcome. When Metzler told me about the 10% increase in mileage, this came as a godsend. Most modern 1000cc sportsbike and supernaked owners will sympathise with me about tyre life. Riding in England is a great test of real-world road riding, which so far has been immensely promising. I’ve been spending early 2020 wobbling around the cold and wet Midlands, on a 190/55 combination on the R1. Of course, not everybody who buys the Metzeler M9RR will be blasting around tracks, in the Mediterranean. Is 1100cc the new 1000cc? Here’s the new Ducati V4S This is also confirmed by being 2.5 seconds faster than the previous Metzeler M7RR around the Binetto circuit in Italy. ![]() The new changes show that not only is the new M9RR better on tyre life, but also 3.4 seconds faster around the Sicilian Pergusa track in an identical back to back, track test. ![]()
