Road Racing is one of the most difficult and challenging racing activities, due to the combination of circuit length, speed, altitude, temperature variation and variety of tarmac. To combat these challenges, Metzeler have manages to develop and engineer the Racetec RR to cope with all these different excesses in one package, providing them with unmatched durability and versatility.
