The elements of strength of this tyre are:

 

Dry grip

Safe riding and a new benchmark in performance for combined use on the road and on the racetrack, with a compound that ensures outstanding grip at every angle of lean.

Handling

Progressive behaviour guaranteed by the Metzeler patented zero degree steel belt and the Multiradius technology

Wet performance

High safety feeling thanks to one of the most successful sea-land ratios ever developed for a tread pattern, ensuring a great level of water expulsion. Performance tuned compound for front and rear tyre application.

Performance lasting

Fast warm-up, and all the performance consistent through the tyre's life, extended by the higher mileage, answering all riders' needs.

Tread pattern

Not only functional but also appealing, complementing the product image.

METZELER SPORTEC M3 is Precise, Safe, Cool:

Precise: thanks to the front tyre compound with a stiffness to friction coefficient developed to react to the rear tyre push, enhance grip balance of the set and guarantee higher trajectory precision, and thanks to CMT (Contour Modelling Technology) front and rear contour have been engineered to offer a perfect behaviour of the bike in every condition.

Safe: the rear compound counts on a high percentage of Silica for quick warm up and wet traction, increasing the confidence to push faster. On the front the profile is more rounded and smoother on the shoulder, while the rear contour has been designed with a changing radius from the crown to the shoulder optimizing the footprint area at every angle. Together with the zero degree steel belt this reduces the stand-up tendency either on normal road or in late braking in racetracks.

Cool: The new profile goes with an innovative, more aggressive tread pattern with a modern look and designed to optimize land/sea ratio. It's fast and easy handling will give you an exhilarating and confident ride.
