Metzeler will be the Official Tyre of the most iconic motorcycle road race until 2027

Metzeler has been selected by the Isle of Man TT Races as the Official Tyre. The most famous motorcycle road race in the world, has chosen Metzeler as its sole Official Tyre for the five-year period 2023-2027. The Tourist Trophy has been run since 1907 on the road circuit of the Snaefell Mountain Course, a 60.720 km track on the Isle of Man. Over the years it has become an iconic competition characterised by charm, tradition, glory, passion and adrenaline, values also shared by Metzeler, who boast of a history of over a century and a half full of motorsport successes and technology.

The RACETEC RR tyres used by Metzeler riders have been developed thanks to Metzeler's experience in Road Racing. These most challenging races, do not take place on smooth prepared race circuits but on roads open to the public throughout the year and where all the situations that any motorcyclist may have to face on a daily basis can be found. It is precisely for this reason why Metzeler has chosen road racing as a testing and development ground. Our participation in Road Racing has enriched Metzeler’s know-how and been instrumental in the continuous development and improvement to our successful tyres.
