Perfect for the track day enthusiast. It’s a middle ground between a road-legal track tyre and a full motorsports slick. Got a dedicated track bike and want to dip your toes into the world of slicks? This tyre’s your new best friend. Even if you’ve got a road bike and need something super sticky for track days without messing with your suspension, the TD Slick is a solid choice.
Metzeler’s Racetec RR is the go-to for supersports and track-ready tyres. This range covers road-legal fast road rubber all the way to track-only slicks. Loved by track day enthusiasts and professional racers, they even hold an Isle of Man TT record. The TD Slick is basically a slick version of the Racetec RR K3. While it’s not as sticky as a full-on motorsports slick, it’s perfect for smashing lap times with great feel and wear rates—without having to tweak your bike’s setup.
The TD Slick takes over from the Racetec Comp K.

120/70 – 17″ front and 17″ rears in 180/55, 180/60, 190/55, and 200/55 sizes.
For the hardcore, the next step up is the full-on Metzeler Racetec RR slick.
The Metzeler Racetec RR K1+K2 are road legal, with the RR K3 being a slightly harder compound. If you’re a road rider who occasionally hits the track, check out the Metzeler M9RR.
The Racetec TD Slick goes head-to-head with the Conti Track Slick and the Dunlop D212 GP Slick.
The Metzeler Racetec TD Slick is a Club Racing & Track Day Slick offering:
Factory rear sizes provide a smoother transition from OE tire geometry to professional tires, helping riders skip some setup variables.
The RACETEC™ TD SLICK features a quick warm-up, so you can hit the track without worrying about tyre temperature in the first corner.
This structure closely resembles the OE, making it easier to find the correct bike setup for a top track day experience.
Consistent performance is ensured as the uniform thermal and mechanical behavior of the RACETEC™ TD SLICK significantly reduces thermal decay, maintaining its chemical properties through laps and thermal cycles.
Abrasion and cold tearing resistance
With a wide contact patch on full-throttle corner exits, quick warm-up, and effectiveness across a range of temperatures, the RACETEC™ TD SLICK compound stays in the correct working range, avoiding cold tearing and other wear issues.
The symmetric rear structure features seamless construction layers, avoiding junctions sensitive to directional stress.
The RACETEC™ TD SLICK rear is fully reversible, allowing you to fully utilize the tyre, especially on tracks with a predominant leaning side.
