Metzeler is restructuring its hypersport tire range with the introduction of two new high-performance street-legal tires, the Sportec 01 and Sportec 01 RS. The duo shares a common carcass design philosophy, profile shapes, and dual-compound rubber strategies, but each tire has distinct mission statements for road and track use.
The Sportec 01 is designed to handle real-world riding conditions in various weather conditions without sacrificing performance on the road. It features a dual-compound strategy for both front and rear tires, with a silica-rich center compound and softer shoulder rubber for edge grip.
The new tire range offers riders a choice between two high-performance options, catering to different riding styles and preferences.
Metzeler's hypersport lineup is already extensive, but the Sportec 01 fills a gap in the market by offering a road-focused option that outperforms its predecessor, the Sportec M9 RR.
The Sportec 01 RS pushes the dry-performance envelope beyond that of the Racetec K3, making it an attractive option for track enthusiasts.
Metzeler is keeping its older models around for now, as they're OE fitment for select motorcycles. However, expect them to be phased out next season.
The Sportec 01 uses a proprietary cap-and-base construction technology that sets it apart from competitors like Pirelli. This technology enhances the tire's unique feel and performance characteristics.
Metzeler's new tire range demonstrates its commitment to innovation and performance, offering riders a choice between road-focused and track-ready options with distinct mission statements.
