Metzeler Sportec M1

Metzeler Sportec M-1 Tyres. With this HiTech-radial, Metzeler is setting the tyre reference for all supersport bikes.

Light, agile handling. Superb grip, under wet and dry conditions.

METZELER - proven stability under all riding conditions - a real 'firework' in terms of riding fun offering the optimum in safety! Confirmed by the German press: "Genius rubber!" (in Motorradfahrer, 9/2001).

• Steel Radial - Innovative belt structure, with a single ply of steel bandinas wrapped at 0° around a radial carcass. Patented technology by Metzeler for both front and rear high performance tires. Steel features a higher stiffness than textile and this allows reducing the weight of the tire. Steel radial belt reduces the dynamic deformation of the tire under centrifugal forces giving the tire an excellent high-speed stability. Thanks to the more uniform heat distribution, mileage is increased and wear characteristics are more uniform.
• MAW - “Metzeler Advanced Winding” patented winding system for optimum spacing between the bandinas of the 0° steel belt. Depending on the cross section position, the steel cords are winded with differentiated spacing. On both front & rear tire they're wider in the crown area for more elasticity and self damping, closer in the areas involved in mid leans for improved stiffness during fast cornering. On the shoulder area, but for the rear only, they're again wider for safe feedback and control at grip limit.
• Multiple Radius Contour -Engineering technology for contour design dedicated to high performance riding. The contour curvature is differentiated between crown and shoulder area, in order to provide most intuitive and effective handling and grip characteristics. The crown and shoulder areas feature a sharper radius for faster and more precise handling (crown) and safer stability limit feedback (shoulder). A wider radius characterizes the side area, ensuring a larger contact patch for cornering stability.
• Silican Silan Matrix - Last generation of high performance compound, developed for excellent overall performance dedicated for Supersport tires. Its particular structure, realized with high-Silica mixed with Silan, allow a faster and more uniform warm-up for great grip performance also in cold weather conditions, maintaining its characteristics also in wet.
