MOTORCYCLE NEWS 2015 Tyre of the Year
SUPERSPORT
THE NEW TYRE WITH A SUPERSPORT SOUL. SPORTEC™ M7 RR provides a new level of supersport performance. The newest member of the Metzeler family derived from the experience gained in road racing activities (hence the RR designation), is designed to offer high levels of handling and safety, including wet, bumpy and dirty tarmac. Features: • Sporty Handling: The combination of profiles derived from the Road Racing activities with high stiffness structures delivers extremely agile handling for enhanced sport riding on all roads. • Grip in all Conditions: 100% Silica compounds combined with a new tread pattern gives Sportec M7 RR the unique capability to keep a sporty riding style even in cold and wet conditions. • Extended Mileage: 20% more mileage compared to Sportec M5 Interact. Dual compound on the rear tyre allows the use of a specific material on the central slick portion of the tread pattern to increase abrasion resistance and extend the mileage capability. All the experience and the know-how acquired through the participation in the most prestigious road racing races such as the Tourist Trophy, the North West 200, the Southern 100 and the Metzeler Ulster Grand Prix in which Metzeler clocked up 16 podiums with 10 wins in 2013.
