Metzeler 100/90-19 Motorcycle Wheel M/C 57V TL Karoo Street F

Even on asphalt

The off-road tyre with road performance

On-road agility

The profiles of the KAROO™ Street are directly derived from those of the TOURANCE™ NEXT, with the precise aim of improving on-road behaviour.
It features a multi-radius profile with a broader and longer contour to increase the contact patch and therefore enhance grip and stability even during lean angles.
The height of the shape has been significantly increased to improve damping capacity and comfort.
The front tyre profile follows the same pattern and has a similar geometry to that of the rear tyre to ensure synchronised behaviour across the whole set.

Grip in dry and wet conditions

The KAROO™ Street is characterised by a high-silica compound with a balanced proportion of carbon black and resins to offer excellent grip on the road in both dry and wet conditions.
A significant percentage of carbon black improves the resistance of the tread to tearing and premature wear when used on the road.
The right choice of polymer type, filler materials, and resins combined with our exclusive and patented mixing process is key to enhancing the cohesion of the different ingredients at the molecular level. This allows for a polymer matrix with an unmatched level of homogeneity and thus maximises its properties and characteristics, while also ensuring solid long-lasting performance.

Traction in all conditions

The tread design of the KAROO™ Street is derived from the layout of the KAROO™ 3 and its uniquely shaped lugs with the specific aim of delivering excellent road performance, even wear, and a high level of stability combined with real off-road capabilities.
Extra-wide central lugs create a large and strong contact area that ensures high-speed stability on the road.
When riding off-road, the V-shaped arrangement of the lugs and their numerous active edges ensure grip during acceleration, traction, and braking. On the road, the lug arrangement is capable of reducing vibrations from ground contact and helps maximise wear uniformity as well as longevity.
Longitudinal grooves between the central blocks ensure water evacuation and the tyre's self-cleaning capability.
Wide transverse grooves allow the blocks to dig into the earth, ensuring off-road traction especially on loose and very compact clay soils.
The variable shape of the blocks combined with their V-shaped arrangement ensures a high number of active edges that enhance off-road traction.
Large lateral blocks provide a wide contact area during lean angles, offering grip in turns and stability at high speeds.

Integration with electronic rider aids

The KAROO™ Street integrates perfectly with electronic rider aids such as ABS and traction control.
The combination of extra-wide blocks and their V-shaped arrangement with the high stiffness of the tyre structure allows for a high level of stability, traction, and smooth handling. This offers good feedback to the ABS, traction control, and other electronic aids since there are no interferences from tread vibrations or deformations that can be found in other tyres.
