Metzeler celebrate a successful Isle of Man TT winning all three 1000cc races with 14 podium finishes
Wins from Davey Todd and Dean Harrison at the legendary Isle of Man TT back up the tyre brand’s fan activities and Metzeler TT Village glamping
Metzeler celebrate a successful 2025 Isle of Man TT with two Superstock wins from Dean Harrison and a Superbike victory from Davey Todd, dominating the three 1000cc races and giving a total of 14 podiums in a dramatic week of action. The results were the icing on the cake for the tyre brand, returning for the third year as ‘Official Tyre Partner’, and supporting teams and riders with a dedicated race service, technical support plus paddock and on course activation.
Possibly the star of the TT was Manx resident Dean Harrison who took two incredible wins in the Superstock class, plus another three podiums in the Superbike and Supersport classes. He attacked the event from the first evening, with a scintillating 133.069mph lap in the opening Superbike session- the fastest ever lap recorded on the opening night of qualifying. Dean set the fans into a frenzy as he controlled the first Superstock race for an ultra-popular win from Davey Todd- logging his, and Metzeler’s, fastest ever TT lap of 135.692mph in the process, and then repeated the feat in the second Superstock race. Fans were left wondering what ‘might have been’ for the final Senior race which was cancelled due to weather conditions.
Other notable Metzeler performances included Nathan Harrison who returned from injury to join the ‘130mph Club’ on his way to a superb Superbike fourth place. The Supertwin classes saw Metzeler podiums from Paul Jordan, Dom Herbertson and Rob Hodson in addition to Davey Todd.
The Supertwin races saw, like all the classes, the vast majority of the grid choose Metzeler rubber for their endeavours, specifically Racetec™ RR treaded tyres, with Racetec™ RR Slicks being the most popular choice for of all Superbike, Superstock and Supersport competitors. Racers opted for Metzeler not only for tyre performance and durability but also because of the dedicated tyre service and on-hand technical expertise from the knowledgeable team in the paddock.
or the visitors who had ridden from all over Europe or travelled by air from as far as New Zealand, South Africa and Japan, Metzeler brought the excitement of the track to the fan zones. The Metzeler TT Village, a luxurious tented area right in the heart of the TT course, hosted rider nights whilst the always popular Metzeler Shop displayed tyres from every biking segment plus a range of Merchandise for all weathers. Metzeler riders including John McGuinness, Dean Harrison, Davey Todd, Nathan Harrison, Paul Jordan, Dom Herbertson and Mike Browne gave up their time to visit the shop, sign autographs and meet the fans.
So a successful fortnight on and off the track summed up by Metzeler UK Marketing Manager Simon Carter, who commented “The Isle of Man remains vitally important to Metzeler. Our significant ongoing investment in R&D, product development and on event technical support continues to pay dividends. Despite the challenging weather conditions, we’ve again witnessed great racing and extend congratulations to our Metzeler riders and to all teams and racers competing at TT 2025. We look forward to returning as Official Tyre Partner in 2026, and further cementing our position as the only tyre brand committed to an ongoing product development programme actively supporting Road Racing. We look forward to further on-track success and meeting guests from around the world at TT 2026!”
