2025 Sport and Hypersport Motorcycle Tire Test
The Metzeler M9 RR is a sport tire that continues to impress despite celebrating its sixth birthday during the test year. Its combination of excellent braking force transmission and transparent feedback enables late and deep braking into corners. The tire offers abundant grip reserves both front and rear, which helped it achieve the fastest lap time among the sport tire category and one of the quickest among all tires tested. When pushed hard, there's some slight movement at the rear, and minor criticisms were noted regarding handling, but these are truly minimal issues. In wet conditions, the M9 RR excelled with the fourth-best wet lap time overall, showing excellent balance between dry and wet performance that few competitors could match.
