The Metzeler KAROO 4 rear motorcycle tire is designed for adventure and dual-sport riders seeking balanced performance across pavement and challenging off-road terrain. Sized 150/70R17 with a 69T rating, this rear tire is engineered for dependable handling, traction, and durability during extended rides that transition between roads, trails, and unpaved surfaces. Manufacturer part number 4254100 and vendor part number 4254100 identify this Metzeler application.
Built as the successor to the KAROO 3, the KAROO 4 features a more aggressive tread layout with larger openings and alternating side knobs. This design supports improved cleaning in soft terrain, including sand, mud, and clay, helping the tire maintain useful contact as conditions change. The tread also contributes to controlled off-road behavior while preserving the practical road manners expected from a 50/50 adventure tire.
On pavement, the Metzeler KAROO 4 is developed to enhance overall handling and wet-weather confidence, including when the motorcycle is leaned toward the tire’s edge. Its versatile construction makes it suitable for riders who want one rear tire for commuting, touring, exploration, and recreational off-road use. Confirm that the 150/70R17 size, 69T service rating, wheel compatibility, and motorcycle manufacturer fitment requirements match your application before installation.
