Моторезина Metzeler MCE Karoo

The Metzeler MCE Karoo motorcycle tire is a great example of creating universal rubber, suitable not only for off-road driving but also for roads with solid pavement. The complexity of the task can be judged by the class of motorcycles for which this model is intended. It was initially developed for enduro class motorcycles. The range of available sizes is represented by one size for the front axle and five for the rear. In all cases, the profile height is a solid 70 or 80%.

The German tire manufacturer, when creating this universal tire, decided not to deviate from the classic canons and equipped the tread with an aggressive off-road pattern with numerous blocks of massive sizes. At the same time, the tread blocks are located with long edges perpendicular to the direction of movement, which made it possible to provide impressive acceleration and braking efficiency on unstable sandy and earthy types of coverage. Additionally, powerful rectangular blocks are also located on the sidewalls of the tire, which provides excellent grip and stability when cornering. These same blocks serve as excellent protection for the sidewalls of the Metzeler MCE Karoo tire, protecting them from punctures and cuts.

The efficiency when driving on the highway is provided by the high resistance of the tire to deformation caused by lateral forces. This was achieved thanks to the multi-layer construction of the carcass, which is characterized by high rigidity and low weight.
