The new #Metzeler M9RR is a supersport #tyre for 2020 with an 80:20 focus on road:track. It's the heir to the #M7RR and we've ridden on road and track. Here are the initial thoughts of BikeSocial's Michael Mann, including an interview with Matteo Torchiana, Metzeler's Head of Hypersport Development.

done 10,000kms on my m9rr on my 2016 s1000rr, there is still plenty of life left in the tyres. I daily ride it to and from work and hit the twisties every weekend, no complaints great tyre.
Thank you for the information!
Must be made outta granite are they?
@@barryfegan6937 yeah marble
Love your nickname 😁
@@th1_s138 if you know, you know 😉
As always, really informative and so easy to watch. Keep well
Changed my rear tire(M9RR) at 21.000km, old front is still on(23.000km). Only problem with the rear tire was cords in the mid was showing,that's why i changed it. Which i'm using my z750 as a daily commuter, weekend carver and for distance touring. So, %80 urban riding, %10 B-roads, %10 touring(high-way-dirt,B-roads). I mean from -10° to +35° celcius,i am riding the bike everyday in every condition. Rain, Heavy Rain, Bit of Ice in the morning. Never ever had a problem with the braking,traction or sliding.
Of course, if i was using the bike just for weekend or for trackdays, it would've been different(pinning the throttle all the time) altogether but i'm really happy with the M9RRs.
You pretty much doubled what I got, I got 13,000km on my s1000rr, daily ride it in all weather with weekend fun in the hills. Same thing as you, the middle wore out faster than the edges as I did around 80% commuting. Had a guy comment on my post saying he only got 1800km, I find it abut hard to believe
4500km multistrada 1200dvt
@@SR22VET-S15and you first commented 10tkm so..
@dubravkokatic6156 so what? My first comment was 10000, afew months later 13000, so? Look at the dates of those comments bud do you think the kms won't change that long after the initial comment, 13000km I changed the tyres, not my problem if you're eating your tyres in 4500kms
I loved the M7s, and now love the M9s!
Absolutely Great and informative video thank you.
Cheers, nice to be appreciated!
Love the video✊🏍👍
Will we be getting a review of the new Continental Sport Attack 4s?
I have been trying to get these tires in Puerto Rico its seems impossible
Did want some more road oriented sport tyres on my 2021 BMW1250GSA. this bike has a 19” front wheel and there is not much choice in 19” sport tyre’s. But there is a M9 in 120-70-19 with a V speed indication. Later this year a W speed indication wil be available (Ducati multi strada?). This tyre is working great on the heavy Beamer. I was really impressed with the stability of the bike with this tyres. The grip was really good and gave a lot of confidence. I didn’t run them in the wet and I have no idea about the durability. But actually I don’t care. The bike was fun with the Michelin Anakees and it is even more fun with te M9’s.
Creio que seja, hoje, a melhor opção, inclusive custo-benefício, para pilotagem esportiva em estradas, e no dia-a-dia. De quebra atende aos track days...
Very useful, thank you.
I use to have the M7, now I have the M9. I think they are a good bike tire that can handle track days if you're a normal fast rider. If these tires gives me 6500 km i would say I would be happy
Are they goood in the wet? I just got a 2021 Harley sportster and my mechanic is demanding I change them to the sport Tec and I told
Him how at 5mph how slick the tire was going over a white letter in the road in my city almost making me eat the pavement..
Another good video
I had the m7rr's on my Buell XB9r Firebolt and I loved them. The turn in was fantastic and more grip then I had b@ll$ lol. I might just have to give the m9's a try when I go to purchase some tires for my Ninja 1000.
Jonathan, did you ever give the M9RRs a try on your Ninja 1000? I use the M7RR and am quite happy, but if these are a cut above, why not.
What happened to a M8 tyre?
I had the M7rr on my SuperDuke R it’s was fantastic so I’m keen to try this tyre
Would you recommend this tire for cooler environments for mainly canyon carving? I have Bridgestone RS 10 on my ZX 10 that I need to replace soon. I am looking for a tire that warms up quickly and would provide the best grip in dry but cooler conditions. Thanks
So M9RR on a CBR 1000RR SP1 is the best choice? Tracks, Roads.
Good information
Please help.
I recently started a new trackday project on a CBR 600F2. In 2021 I am planning 5 trackdays at Assen.
I don't own tirewarmers or a second set of wheels. What tires should I buy.
Many thanks, love reading your awnsers!!
Can I put this m9 on my vfr1200f (270kg +passenger) and have a stiffer enough carcass to stability 200km/h corners?
I only use the bike in dry and don't care about durability. I need a good sport Tyre for road.
I have bt021 and road 5gt.
Now in 2022 the M9RR come in a 19 F and 17 R to suit the V4 multidtrada . Let the fun begin .
This M9 against Power 5 Michelin? What about?
Have m7rr’s on my tuono v4r, and they are my favorite street tires that will handle a couple of track days as well. Can’t wait to try the m9s!
I'm getting them for my MT09SP. Can't wait to try them out next week
@@roadwarrior8560 they are great so far, they grip like crazy and really give you confidence in corners. Definitely much better than my factory tires ( Bridgestone Battlex S21)
Is there an industry recognised speed that a 120 front tyre will start to aquaplane?
Been lookin for tires for my Street Triple RS and think this video helped me go for M9 over the Michelins. They seem to get great reviews, miles and cost a little less.
What exactly is the difference between this and the roadtec 01? I live in Southern Spain so mostly good weather all year round but I can´t see much difference between these two tyres.
The roadtec are more touring based and these are full on sports tyres
I've got these on my 02 zx6r and there bloody brilliant £230 for a pair
Confidence inspiring on my gen 3 sv650
I swapped out the stock Dunlop on my 2019 sv650x the year it was released and it was like riding a different bike. Wish I would have tried them on my RC8R before I sold it
M9r or pirelli Rosso corsa 2?
I love them on my VFR800.
I find the comments even better to give me a users real world feedback on the roads by mere mortals.
Just bought a set for my ZZR ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Durou quantos kms?
The tread pattern looks less cut than an M7 so you would expect a more ‘dry’ biased tyre so amazed to hear it out performs the M7 in the wet, I am a fan of the M7 for the road - it’s a great tyre, but not a track tyre, best option is always to use tyres for their designed application 👍✊
The M7RR was an excellent street tire on my '18 Ninja 1000 ABS, with really good grip, awesome front braking traction, and nice bump compliance. Bridgestone S22 were sharper steering and cornered as if on rails, but they also wear noticeably faster than the M7RR. This new M9RR sounds interesting, maybe it splits the difference between M7 and S22.
I has S22’s the rear was good but I didn’t trust the front as much. The Q3+ was good and lasted about about 3k miles and my Rosso 3’s which I liked best lasted only about 2500 miles. I ride nothing busy twisties here in NC/TN. Now time for new ones so I figured I would try either the M9rr or The Power 5’s!
I am really interested in this as well, because I am currently looking for options to the S22 since the price went up 50%. My S22's lasted only two seasons + one whole day on the big track. What I found on my S22 is that the middle gets flat really fast if you ride on the street and the sides get really torn if you ride hard on the track. Without trying the M9RR I think it will be a good alternative for mainly street riding. My guess is that the M9RR will be harder all around which is better suitable for the streets.
@@drasticthompson1995- what did you go with and how did it work out?
I've used Metzeler in the past and they have always been good, i'd love to know how the M9 RR compares to the S22
After my first impressions on the M9, and with several months on the S22 (on a 2019 BMW S1000RR), I'd opt for the Bridgestone but it depends on you style of riding, the road and weather conditions too.
I think the S22 is harder on the side, rr9 is small bit softer and better for dirty streets! the S22 is more for race track, for my R1 99er is the S22 to hard, i need more damper tire like rr9
when you drive in coold wether and rain every day i think rr9 but you drive only by nice wether is S22 your tire! Sorry for my bad english my school time was over 40 years a go in pass! good wishes Reiner from Germany! First you musst stop, than go down from bike!!😉
@@bennettsbikesocial I'm currently using the S22's on my MT10SP, i'm really impressed at how they seem to do it all, i mainly do sporty road riding and they are pretty much good to go right from the start with that full lean edge grip very confidense inspiring. But also they don't wear prematurely in the centre so you get good KLMS from them and they actually work in the wet. I was suprised the M9RR didn't go to a tripple compound on the rear like the S22, i think thats a big plus for that tyre.
@@r.blacky341 I haven't tried the M9RR yet but i really like the S22's, the tripple layer rear gives you that really soft edge for when you're at full lean and gives you that bit more confidence when riding hard. I used to run the K2's on my 09 R1 and i really liked them but no i have the MT10SP and i find the S22's a perfect match for this bike and much faster on the road than my R1, track is different obviously. I'd like to try the M9RR but the S22's works so well i don't really need to change.
@@bennettsbikesocial So, are the M9RR better for colder, wetter conditions, and the S22 more suited to dryer and warmer days ? Or vice versa ?
Is it as good as the Michelin Road 5 on the wet?
It is like comparing apples and pears.
Metzeler M9RR is a sports tire, while Michelin Road 5 is in a sport touring segment.
@@roadwarrior8560 It does between the lines. No sports tire is as good in the wet, as the tire in the touring segment.
Don't get me wrong, M9RR still performes good in the wet for the sports tire. I've used one set untill today on my Ninja 1000 and will put M9RR again on it.
It has the dry grip of Pirelli, with slightly better durability 😉
Diablo rosso corsa 2 or M9 rr? For street use (yamaha r6)
Same thing. Buy the cheapest...
Just back from a quick 600km ride in the South Island of NZ with new M9RR's fitted to my Gen 2 Hayabusa. Great tyre and a much better ride than my previous road/touring tyres. They seem to stick like glue to the road even when it's pouring with rain around some of the twistier sections.
Right now Im running the Metzeler Ractech K3's on my Ducati 1299 as well as on my 2016 BMW S1000RR. Would you recommend these M9RR's on my Ducati 1299? I only see about 3 to 5 track days with the Ducati 1299, 3-5 days with my BMW S1000RR and maybe 2 track days with my BMW S1000R. Or would these tires be better off on the road with my limited track days? If you were to choose these tires for a Ducati 1299 that saw 3 to 5 track days a year. Would you chose these M9RR's , Metzeler K3s/K2's or the Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa II tires?
I'm in doubt for my next tyre on my Super Duke SE, I'm currently riding Pirelli Supercorsa SP's v2. When it rains, I ride on eggs, but when it's dry they feel like taking it all ( I never use TC by the way ). I wonder if these M9 RR's would equal my Pirelli's ? ( I'm almost sure the Metzeler M9RR will do better in the rain )
Having ridden SuperCorsa SPs on my S1000RR and M7 RRs, you're going to notice a huge grip drop off if you're warming up the SuperCorsa's to full operating temp (175-195 farenheit). At moderate temps, warm, but not hot, the M9 RRs will be solid. Personally, I don't get my tires anywhere near operating temperature on the street. Track, for sure. But I never ride hard enough on the street.
The M7 RR's CRUSH the SuperCorsas in cool and wet weather, it isn't even remotely close. I imagine the M9 RR will be the same or better.
@@brianbotterill1564 OK , thanks for your info. Since I live in Belgium, we have colder weather most of the time, I guess I will like the M9 RR more then...
Just ordered my set m9rr for my Gsxr 1000 , ran my m7rr for more then 6000km and there not even done
Will Metzeler Sportec M9RR tires perform well in a region with humidity above 90% on most days, with maximum temperatures of 22ºC in the summer? I love to drive in mountain areas, with lots of curves, and I do it in a more aggressive driving style! Do the Metzeler Sportec M9RR suit this reality, as I only see good feedback on these wet tires in relation to the competition, and I am unsure whether they will have good grip on dry roads? I would appreciate if you could give me some Feedback. Thanks
How good are them compared to Pirelli Rosso Corsa II?
Will last a lot longer that’s for sure.
@@ur2slob724 And not be hockey pucks in the cold.

Any comments on pressures for track?
This should help... www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/news-and-views/advice/bike-maintenance/best-sportsbike-tyres
@@bennettsbikesocial thanks for the reply, I was hoping for something a bit more specific to the M9RR which was reviewed
Ahh, sorry. Though to be honest, it shouldn't make much difference by brand as all tyres are made to set specs. At worst, you'll be in the ball-park. Cheers, John
Michael: these or the Michelin power 5?
I will choose power5.
@@nubian3655 If you ride like a Grandad
In the wet, if the cut out don't go right
To the edges as my mate found out
They slip Michelin power 5 , I was
Rideing Kawasaki 14r , on S22
no problem , Michelin tell you
Don't ride on the edge in the wet ,
Then why DON'T cop bikes ride
On Power 5 , it Simple they ride in
All weather conditions , you have
To trust your tyres , that why they
Use Bridgestone 32 and Pirelli
Angles , the cut go right out to
The edges , it not just Water , it's
Leaves and sand, the edges cut
Through objects , and wait to when
You stuff up and have to really get
It Over in the wet , that when you need
Trust in you tyres
Have m9rr on my gsxr1000. One word great tyre!
M1, M3, M7, and now M9.....all odd numbers since inception.
I didn't like the M7RR but got about 8k km from them. I loved the K3's but only got 3,500km from them. The S22 are brilliant but only last around 5k km. After 5 sets of S22's I will try the M9RR and give a real World review.
If you get 5 to 7k out of a S22 I'm worried about what I will get out of the racetec k3's I just bought. Because I get 3 to 4 out of a S22 rear on my R1. Front does better.
@@nurburgringbiker I only got 3k km from the K3, great tyre, shite mileage
@@johnsy59 I guess mine will last a day or 2 considering it is going straight to a double trackday on Assen and I know my way around haha.
@@nurburgringbiker have fun 😎
Already tried the M9?
So which would be faster around a track, this or the Power RS?
If you are buying a tire specifically to go fast around the track, buy a track tire like the Metzeler racetec. These are fine for track use occasionally but if you're going to the track enough that you're worried about track times vs just learning how to ride on a track... Get a track tire imo.
Just put a new set of m9rr on my bmw s1KRR coming from M7RR I’ve got high expectations
How you find them?
@@sulaimanfarouk2222 he googled “m9rr” and a selection or online tyre retailers was listed!!! 👍🏻
@@TheGreatestBeyonder clearly u didn't get what I meant, how did he find the tyres as in what were the tyres like to ride on🙄
@@sulaimanfarouk2222 🤣 you missed it!! 🤣🤣
Have a set of M9's fitted to my Speed Triple RS....just waiting on an opportunity to scrub them in..
This lockdown is a killer. I’m trying to run my bike in feels like forever not being able to ride now the weather’s turned
Big Al - I have the M7RRs on my Speed Triple RS and really like them. Would be interested to hear how you get on with the M9s when you get out, particularly in regards to ride quality. Thanks. David.
In North America? I'm having troubles finding them in the USA or Canada.
@@dh8620 Will do.
@@brianbotterill1564 Brian - No I am in the UK.
Cannot see this beating the S22...
Yes, the Bridgestone's are very good. Better on track that the M9 but I've not spent long enough on these to offer an accurate comparative view.
@@bennettsbikesocial How would you compare them in the wet?
Why is that ? Your personal Brand Preference ? Not Relevant.
@@stephenhill8362 I don't give a sh*t about the brands. From everything I've been reading this M9RR seems to be a bit too much on the safe side - good for beginners and wet riding but not exactly an aggressive canyon carver like the S22.
Are the metzeler m9rr tyres better than Bridgestone Battlax s20?
They’re more comparable to an S22 but define what you mean by “better”. How would you be using them? On track? Fast rod riding? Up mountains?
@@bennettsbikesocial
Thank u very much for the reply,
I will be using it for street riding and rare track riding, but here in Malaysia it rains a lot of, so which tyres would be better m9rr or Bridgestone rs10 in term of durability, grip and wet road riding?
Your comment on the warming up of this tyre seems to be at odds with other reviews which say this tyre warms up very fast? What gives…
I’m sure weather has more to do with warm up time than anything and rider skill , as a better rider would not spin the tires much being more efficient . Just a guess, I’m not an engineer , but I can pretend to be one thanks to TH-cam 🤓😄
@@brandoncarr1203 fingers xrossed you’re right, as I’ve just ordered a set! 👍🏻 I’m sure they’ll out perform me.
I thought pirelli owns metzler ? So they are both pirelli's
Yes they do but Coca Cola owns Fanta and they don't taste the same...
@@bennettsbikesocial hi, can you compare this m9 with the rosso corsa 2? And with the s22?, (i saw above that you consider s22 better than m9, but againts drc2?)
@@alejandromb8089 I'm not Bennetts, but I have ridden an S1000RR on SuperCorsas, and M7 RRs and a Ducati SuperSport on a Rosso Corsa 2. The Rosso Corsa is likely a better track day tire, but the M7 RR has WAY more confident grip in cold and wet conditions. I wouldn't want the Rosso Corsa on my street bike, but I'm in Canada, and pavement temps when I ride are often 8 to 15 degrees Celcius.
On the track? I've run Rosso Corsa's on a Ducati SuperSport, and RC 390. I've also run SuperCorsas on the 390 and S1000RR. For my riding, I'd go M7 or M9RR for my street bike, and SuperCorsa for the track. I don't think I'd run Rosso Corsa's again, but I'm an all weather rider.
@@brianbotterill1564 so the choice is between m9 and s22!
Same Company for well over 20 years. But made in Germany in Metzeler plant with same engineers.
Every time a new Metzeler SPORTBIKE tire comes out the Pirelli Tire will follows within a year. Rosso 4...
Both Great Tires Same tire company.
Worst presentation using an heavy Italian accent.. so hard to understand one must concentrate and it's tiresome. No Italian ever bothered to learn a correct accent. Why use them as presenters? Metzeler are German right? Germans speak excellent English. Use them or a native English Speaker please?
Italian speak English like this have u followed motogp or sbk?
Metzeler are owned by Pirelli, so that’s why an Italian is presenting!!
