Metzeler Sportec M9 RR 120/70 R17 58W

Metzeler Sportec M9 RR 120/70 R17 58W arrives as a high-performance front tyre designed for sport riders who demand grip and precision.

The Metzeler Sportec M9 RR is a semi-slick radial tyre built on a 17 inch rim diameter with a 120 mm width and a 70% cross-section profile, offering a responsive contact patch for aggressive riding.

This tubeless (TL) tyre carries a load index of 58 and a W speed rating, certified for speeds up to 168 mph, making it suitable for high-speed street and track use while maintaining safety margins expected from Motorrad-rated (M/C) tyres.

Construction and design emphasize sport performance: the radial (R) build and semi-slick tread pattern provide excellent grip in warm conditions and superior feedback in corners, while the tyre compound balances longevity with traction.

Typical use cases include spirited weekend rides, track-day sessions where a front tyre with precise turn-in is required, and riders upgrading from standard road tyres to a sportier, more responsive front tyre setup.

Installation is straightforward thanks to its tubeless configuration, and the 120/70 R17 size is a common front fitment for many sport and supersport motorcycles.

Key selling points include the sport-oriented semi-slick design, radial construction, W speed rating for high-speed capability, and a compact 120 mm width that sharpens steering response.
