Metzeler Karoo 3 Tire Combo

Description

The Metzeler Karoo 3 Tire Combo includes One Front and One Rear Metzeler Karoo 3 tire, each with the following features: The best new Enduro On / Off tire for your off-road adventures. A new concept of for adventure and enduro on / off tires dedicated to off-road expeditions, that feature both off-road traction and on-road stability with an excellent mileage. Improved off-road traction and handling. Increased mileage over its predecessor. Cutting edge tread design lends to improved performance. Suitable for both light and heavy enduro bikes. Tire Properties: New tread pattern and knob layout means the footprint area is more uniform and constant providing increased mileage both on and off-road. Larger knobs offer more stability for better handling. Differentiated spacing between knobs gives improved footprint area and knobs efficiency for more on road and off-road traction. Technical Data: Steel Radial – Innovative belt structure, with a single ply of steel cords wrapped at 0deg around a radial carcass. Patented technology by Metzeler for both front and rear high performance tires. Steel features a higher stiffness than the traditional textile material used and also reduces tire weight. A steel belted radial reduces the dynamic deformation of the tire under centrifugal forces giving the tire excellent high-speed stability. Steel is an excellent conductor, therefore providing a more uniform heat distribution which allows higher mileage and wear characteristics are more uniform. Metzeler Advanced Winding – “Metzeler Advanced Winding” is a patented system for optimum spacing between the cords of the 0deg steel belt. In certain sections of the tire, the steel cords are wound with different spacing depending on the performance requirements on that particular area of the tire. On both front and rear tire the spacing is wider in the crown area for more elasticity and self-damping. For sections of the tire used for mid-lean, there is increased stiffness to support fast cornering. Motorcycle Speed Limitations – Some motorcycle models can come from the manufacturer with either street-oriented tires or trail-oriented tires. The street-oriented tires typically will have a higher speed capability than the trail-oriented tires. If the street-oriented tires are replaced by the trail-oriented tires, the motorcycle’s top speed will then be limited to the speed rating of the trail tires. A warning sticker advising of the lower speed rating should be affixed to the motorcycle where it is readily visible to the driver. For any questions, consult with the motorcycle manufacturer.
