Re: Kwacky's ongoing M7rr Metzeler review
Think that is fab. Especially for places like Britain we need tyres that can be used in our unpredictable climate

Rossgo, I think that's the reason for the choice. Good move by both KTM and Metz.

Re: Kwacky's ongoing M7rr Metzeler review
Shrewd move by Metzler.
The 690 will be alot of people's first big bike and gets young riders into the brand and confidence in the metzler range and product early. Seeing as alot of people stay with one particular brand if they like and trust them it's a shrewd commercial move imo.

That's a move that makes perfect business sense - so long as they use the proper tyre and not an OEM one to improve mileage therefore sacrificing gripBlade wrote:Shrewd move by Metzler.

Re: Kwacky's ongoing M7rr Metzeler review
Been quoted £120 for a new rear, fitted, with a new L shape valve.
Seems reasonable to me.
The currrent rear has just under 5,000 miles on it with life left but with spring not far off and a puncture to deal with it seems like a good time to get a new tyre.

Re: Kwacky's ongoing M7rr Metzeler review
Thanks, but I've still got to get it fitted and buy a valve.

Re: Kwacky's ongoing M7rr Metzeler review
Cheers Blade I haven't got any link? £130 is good price for very good tyres in my honest opinion.

Re: Kwacky's ongoing M7rr Metzeler review
Try tyreleader online Rossgo they are always hard to beat on price but remember to budget an extra £20 for fitting to loose wheels. Still normally works out £30-60 cheaper in my experience.

Re: Kwacky's ongoing M7rr Metzeler review
Oponeo are the other site to use. Either of these two are always cheapest!

I said I would pimp them. £120 for a new rear fitted to a loose wheel is pretty good value.
