Metzeler Karoo Street
Adventure touring
The Karoo 3 tread layout reworked with uniquely shaped knobs, for riders who want the adventure look with asphalt manners. Extra-large V-layout blocks and a stiff structure are claimed to give a clean signal to ABS and traction control.
Made for 15", 17", 19", 21" front and 14", 17", 18" rear rims.
