Metzeler Racetec RR 120/70 R17

Road racing courses feature multiple and variable conditions and RACETEC RR compound specifications have been developed to cope with all of them. The compound recipes of RACETEC RR blend a selection of polymers and resins with different grades of carbon black to maximise hysteresis - even on slippery surfaces. RACETEC RR fronts conform to the micro-granularity of tarmac delivering more grip and wear resistance, to last longer on severe asphalt; the blend of polymers features also high flexibility at lower temperatures. Thanks to RACETEC RR distinctive versatility of use on a wide range of asphalts and temperatures, the front tyre compound choice should be primarly made on rider’s preferences between higher stability and precision when entering the corner (K2 version) rather than predictability and “edge grip” feeling (K1 version).
