Metzeler Karoo 4 Rear Tire, KAROO(TM) 4 - For an ordinary, unlimited life.
KAROO(TM) 4 is the evolution of the heroic KAROO(TM) 3: a comprehensive tire for Adventure Bikes and Maxi Enduro to overcome the boundaries of adventouring.
Exemplary off-road traction also in bottomless dirt - Scoop-shaped blocks maximize the rack effect on soft terrains; knob shaping promotes both massive center traction and lateral self-cleaning; the entire knob layout ensures a continuous support at any lean angle also on hard-packed terrains.
Significant on-road handling regardless of the load case - Stiffer carcass structures promote a superior performance at all stages; new multi-radius profiles enable enhanced road capabilities and promote line holding and grip in lean, with dual-compound rears and lateral knobs shaped to enhance rubber response under heavy loads.
Best in class* for wet performance and rider-aid integration - Tread rubber layout and tire profile enable adventourers to cope with lashing rain, cold temperatures, dodgy road surfaces and also in wet conditions and during emergency braking (*In this specific tire sub-segment, according to internal wet braking test methodology on BMW R1250GS with VIn = 85km/h, VOut=0km/h, TAmbient = 25degC, TRoad = 25deg).
Extreme abrasion, cutting and tearing resistance - New rubber formulations improve resistance to abrasion, cutting and tearing with highly-aggressive tread-wear conditions; new profiles promote rubber thermal stability by optimizing footprint.
