METZELER Has Unveiled The New KAROO™ Street. A Road Tire Performance From An Off-Road Style ‘Knobby’ Tread Pattern

METZELER extended its highly successful KAROO™ range towards pure road use with the new KAROO™ Street. Delivering excellent road performance, even in wet conditions, the new enduro tire remains aggressively styled, with its knobby tread pattern continuing to provide off-road capability.

Owners of adventure, ‘enduro street’ and dual-purpose motorcycles are increasingly looking for sport touring performance when used on asphalt, but without sacrificing off-road capabilities. While responding to this market request, however, the METZELER KAROO™ Street maintains an off-road look, in character with these types of motorcycles, while delivering excellent road performance on both dry and wet asphalt.

The METZELER KAROO™ Street tire has been developed for the latest generation of adventure, big enduro and dual-purpose motorcycles, capable of taking dirt roads in their stride. With the KAROO™ Street tire these motorcycles will now be further enhanced to tackle distant road journeys, where good mileage, stability and comfort are fundamental throughout the life cycle of the tire.

Designed for all levels of cross-country riding, the METZELER brand’s KAROO™ product family now offers a range that spans from the desert all the way to street. The new KAROO™ Street will be available from March 2018 onwards.
· KAROO™ Street, a unique combination of off-road look with on-road agility · KAROO™ 3, dedicated to off-road aids and adventure journeys · KAROO™ Extreme, a product developed to compete in the professional rally races.
