Metzeler Racetec RR Slick is a tyre that makes success on race tracks worldwide!
While riding on the track, you will know exactly what the limit is when you press on as hard as it goes lap after lap. The tyre retains its performance very well through its longevity and consistent behaviour is experienced even towards the end.
The rubber compounds are designed to absorb all types of asphalt without in any way overloading and the dimensions give much contact surface in case of descent.
How do I read a tyre designation?
120/60 ZR17 55W TL
Tyre width (120) / 60 ZR17 55 TL
The tyre is in this case 120mm wide where it is as widest.
Tyre height 120 / (60) ZR17 55 TL
The tyre height is 60% of the tyre width, in this case, 72mm.

Tyre type 120/60 Z (R) 17 55 TL
R = Radial tires. The cord lies radially over the tyre. Better curved properties than other tyres.
- = Diagonal tyre. Example: 90/90 (-) 21 The cord lies diagonally over the tyre, expanding more than one radial tyre at high speeds. Works well on Offroad tyres.
B = Belt diagonal. New and improved version of diagonal frame. Expands less than a traditional diagonal tyre. Common and works very well on Custom tyres.
