New Metzeler Racetec Racetec is the ultimate racing tyre.The main target of this new development was the desire to make one step forward in the PURE LAPTIME project, designing what we call the new PURE RACETIME project: regardless the skill of the rider, the aim is to shave seconds not only off his best lap times but also the overall race times, thanks to a very constant performance all the way to the end. New Rear Tread Pattern The New Racetec design is tremendously effective, and it's cool to look at.It is characterized by the concept of controlling the distribution of land/sea ratio from the crown to the shoulder, following an optimized tread distribution (patent pending). It makes the ride more linear at every lean angle, reducing the tread's influence on the tyre's behaviour on track and reducing any overheating effects, to ensure maximum duration of full-on performance. Structure: INTERACT technology
Lower tension in the crown area creates more flexibility and the tyre can adapt itself better to the road surface, enlarging its footprint. High steel belt winding tension in the shoulder area ensures maximum and uniform pressure on the contact patch: the trajectory is therefore always precise, without any deviation.  New Compounds4 Compound variants are available (3 for race and 1 for street usage).Each of them precisely tuned for specific weather and surface conditions, ensuring the rider can find the best solution, whatever the temperature and tarmac conditions  |
