Metzeler has been named the Official Tyre Supplier for the Isle of Man TT Races.
This iconic motorcycle road race, considered the most famous in the world, has selected Metzeler as its exclusive tyre partner for the five-year period from 2023 to 2027.
The Isle of Man TT, held since 1907, takes place on the 60.720 km Snaefell Mountain Course, a road circuit that weaves through the rugged terrain of the Isle of Man. Over the years, it has become synonymous with tradition, passion, and adrenaline; values that align closely with Metzeler’s own legacy. With more than 150 years of motorsport achievements and technological advancements, Metzeler brings a wealth of experience to this legendary event.
The RACETEC RR tyres used by Metzeler riders are the result of the company’s extensive involvement in road racing. Unlike traditional closed-circuit races, road races like the TT take place on public roads, offering a variety of real-world conditions that challenge both rider and machine.
This unique environment makes road racing the perfect testing ground for Metzeler’s tyres, providing invaluable data to refine and improve their performance. Metzeler’s participation in these demanding races has been key in the ongoing evolution of their successful tyre range.
