Metzeler - Sportec M7RR Interact Front/Rear Tire Combo

 Metzeler - Sportec M7RR Interact Front/Rear Tire Combo

Features: 

• Sporty Handling: the combination of profiles derived from the Road Racing activities with high stiffness structures delivers an extremely agile handling for a sporty riding style on all roads.
• Grip in all Conditions: 100% Silica compounds combined with a special tread pattern gives SPORTEC M7 RR the unique capability to keep the sporty riding stile also in cold conditions, wet roads and greasy and grimy tarmac surfaces.
• Extended Mileage: 20% more mileage compared to SPORTEC M5 Interact.

Tread Pattern Design

The longitudinal groves are interrupted by compound bridges to increase the thrust in acceleration, enhance stability of tread compound and improve wear regularity. These bridges also keep the grove wide open when in contact with the tarmac, ensuring water evacuation. In the lateral groves, depth decreases gradually towards shoulder area to increase compactness and lateral thrust when turning at maximum lean angle on dry tarmac; their width on the other hand, increases towards shoulder area to guarantee efficient water evacuation at higher lean angle.

Compound

For the Sportec M7RR, Metzeler has develop a compound capable of generating chemical and mechanical grip. The development target was to extend the sporty behavior from the ‘perfect or ideal conditions’ of dry warm temperature and regular asphalt to those sudden and unpredictable situations that we all actually encounter when riding on normal roads: wet spots, leaves, temperature drops, debris, holes, etc. Therefore Metzeler developed a totally new family of compounds with high to full Silica (SiO2).
