MCN’s Liam Marsden has now put more than 2,000 miles on a pair of Metzeler Racetec RR K3 tyres fitted to his Husqvarna 701 Supermoto.
In their 30th November 2016 issue, Liam gives his review saying:
“I was a little apprehensive going for an out-and-out sports tyre for my Husqvarna 701 Supermoto. I’m not quick enough to truly take the tyres to their limits and I would be using them everyday on the commute, but I needn’t have worried.
The Racetecs gave me loads of confidence almost as soon as I rolled out of the car park. They were warm enough within 10 minutes for me to comfortably lean to the edge of the tyre. On track they’re brilliant – just one lap is all that’s needed to bring them up to temperature and they offer bags of grip – way more than I know what to do with.
After 2000 miles – a lot of those commuting – they’re holding up exceptionally well. They haven’t squared and wear has been minimal and even. They even offer reasonable grip in Autumn temperatures.
The only real downside is their lack of suitability for cold/wet weather, but there’s still a fair amount of grip.
They’re quite pricey, but for the grip and mileage I can’t complain too much.”
