## Metzeler Dual Sport Motorcycle Tire 120/70R19 KAROO Street 60V TL M+S M/C The Metzeler KAROO Street tire is the perfect solution for riders seeking versatility and excellent performance both on and off-road. Combining the characteristics of a road and off-road tire, it provides optimal grip, stability, and riding comfort in diverse conditions. ### On-Road Agility The KAROO Street's profile, inspired by the TOURANCE™ NEXT tire, is designed for precise handling on asphalt. The multi-radius profile with increased width and overall contour length provides a larger contact patch, resulting in better grip and stability, even when cornering. The increased profile height improves damping and riding comfort. ### Grip on Dry and Wet Surfaces The high-silica compound with a balanced proportion of carbon black and resins guarantees excellent grip on both dry and wet surfaces. The addition of carbon black increases the tread's resistance to abrasion and premature wear during on-road riding. A special mixing process at the molecular level ensures the homogeneity of the polymer matrix, maximizing its properties and guaranteeing stable performance over time. ### Traction in All Conditions The KAROO Street's tread pattern, inspired by the KAROO™ 3, features a unique knob shape that provides excellent on-road performance, even wear, and a high level of stability. Large central blocks create a wide and stable contact patch, ensuring stability at high speeds. The V-shaped knob layout with multiple working edges guarantees grip during acceleration, braking, and off-road riding. On asphalt, the varied knob spacing reduces vibrations and contributes to even tread wear, extending its lifespan. Longitudinal grooves in the central blocks drain water and mud, while wide transversal grooves allow the blocks to dig into the ground, providing off-road traction. ### Integration with Rider Aids The KAROO Street integrates seamlessly with systems like ABS and traction control. The combination of large V-shaped blocks and a stiff tire construction provides high stability and smooth rolling, delivering a clear signal to ABS and traction control systems without the interference typical of aggressive tread patterns. ### Specifications: * **Size:** 120/70-19 * **Metric Width:** 120 mm * **Profile:** 70% * **Rim Diameter:** 19" * **Speed Index V:** 240 km/h * **Load Index 60:** 250 kg * **TL:** Tubeless
