The Metzeler KAROO 4 is an advanced all-season adventure motorcycle tire designed for adventure bikes and maxi enduro motorcycles that require both on-road and off-road capability. This 50/50 tire features revolutionary patented tread technology with scoop-shaped blocks and redesigned knob patterns that maximize traction on soft terrains like sand, mud and clay while promoting self-cleaning between rotations. The tire incorporates INTERACT carcass construction with multi-zone steel belt technology and dual-compound rear construction, utilizing 100% carbon-black compound for the center tread and softer silica for the sidewalls to enhance durability and wet weather performance. Load ratings range from 54 to 72 with speed ratings from Q (99 mph) to T (118 mph) depending on size, available in front sizes 90/90-21 to 120/70-19 and rear sizes 140/80-17 to 170/60-17. Press reviews consistently praise its exceptional wet weather grip, improved road stability compared to the KAROO 3 predecessor, and superior off-road performance with enhanced lateral stability and reduced road noise. The tire features multi-radius profiles for better line holding and cornering grip while maintaining the aggressive knobby appearance needed for serious adventure riding.
