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. This 170/60R17 tire features a 72T speed and load designation and is engineered for a true 50/50 riding application, delivering dependable road manners along with enhanced traction on soft surfaces such as sand, mud, and clay.
Compared with the previous KAROO 3, the KAROO 4 uses a more aggressive tread design with larger openings and alternating side knobs. This pattern is intended to improve self-cleaning performance in loose terrain while supporting confident grip and control during off-road riding. On pavement, Metzeler engineers refined overall handling and wet-weather behavior, including performance when the motorcycle is leaned toward the tire’s edge.
