Description
The Two Tyres 1-minute guide to the Metzeler Racetec RR K1 + K2
What is it: The Racetec RR range comprises of the K1, K2 and K3. This signifies the compound, with the K1 being the sofest. While these are road legal, they should be seen as a track-spec tyre. They’re built for outright grip in ideal conditions and should be used with tyre warmers. Therefore not a good road option.
What tyre it replaces: These replaced the Racetec Interact K1 and K2 when they were introduced in 2014 and have since been updated in 2020.
Who is it aimed at:Â Metzeler’s stickiest road legal rubber, it’s a tyre that was capable of challenging slick-shod superbike lap records when it was the control tyre of the Superstock 1000 class. It’s a cracking bit of kit for the track but far too extreme for road use. Fast road riders try the M9RR instead. If you want to mirror the Superstock riders of old and run on the stickiest treaded, road-legal tyre you can buy then you’re looking at them.
Typically seen on: Big-engined track bikes, from BMW S1000RRs to Ducati Panigales, Yamaha R1s, Kawasaki ZX-10Rs. You get the picture.
RR K1 + K2 highlights: Metzeler’s stickiest road legal tyre. As used by international road racers at events like the Isle of Man TT.
RR K1 + K2 sizes: 120/70 – 17″ front and 17″ rears in 180/55, 180/60, 190/55 and 200/55 sizes.
A more extreme option: The next step up is a full-on Metzeler Racetec RR slick.
A less extreme: The Metzeler Racetec RR K3 is the firmest of the K series compounds. We’ve run these on the road in between a. However if you are a road rider who does the occasional trackday, check out the M9RR
The competition: The Racetec RR K1+ K2 is a competition grade – but road legal – motorsports tyre. It compares directly to the Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa V3 SC and Diablo Supercorsa V2 SC, the Bridgestone R11, the Dunlop D213GP and the Continental ContiRace Attack 2.
