2025 Sport and Hypersport Motorcycle Tire Test P7 of 12

The Metzeler Racetec RR K3 is a hypersport tire that has been available for ten years yet still delivers impressive performance. Its standout feature is immense grip, which combined with high stability allowed it to record the second-fastest lap time on the dry track, demonstrating remarkable longevity in its design. The compound holds up well under hard acceleration out of corners and provides confidence-inspiring traction throughout the lap. Its wet-weather performance is acceptable for a hypersport tire but still notably better than some of its hypersport competitors, showing reasonable adaptability despite its focus on dry grip. Its main downside is premature wear, which became evident during testing.
