KAROO Street: The best solution for Enduro On/Off tyres. Featuring a
high silica compound with a balanced proportion of carbon-black and
resins to achieve a high level of grip on road, both on dry and wet
conditions. A relevant percentage of carbon black increase knobs
resistance to 'tearing' and premature wear when used on-road.
On road agility
-
The profiles of the KAROO™ Street are directly derived from those of
the TOURANCE™ NEXT, with the precise aim to increase the on-road
behaviour.
-
It features a multi-radius profile with an increased width and overall
length of the contour to increase the surface of the footprint area
and hence grip and stability also when leaning.
-
The height of the shape has been sensibly increased to improve
dampening capacity and comfort.
-
Both front and rear tyre profile follows the same scheme and a similar
geometry to ensure a synchronised behavior of the set.
Grip on dry and wet
-
KAROO™ Street features a high silica compound with a balanced
proportion of carbon-black and resins to achieve a high level of grip
on road, both on dry and wet conditions.
-
A relevant percentage of carbon black increase knobs resistance to
‘tearing’ and premature wear when used on-road.
-
The right choice of polymer typology, fillers and resins combined with
our exclusive and patented mixing process is the key to improve the
cohesion of the different ingredients at molecular level, achieving an
unmatched level of homogeneity of the polymeric matrix that maximizes
its properties and characteristics, granting solid performances over
time.
Traction in all conditions
-
The tread design of the KAROO™ Street is delivered from the disruptive
layout of KAROO™ 3 and its uniquely shaped knobs with the precise
objective to provide great on-road performance, wear regularity and a
high level of stability combined with a cross-country appeal.
-
Extra-large central blocks create a wide and solid contact patch which
ensures high speed stability on-road.
-
When riding off-road, the V-shaped knob layout with its multiple
operating edges of blocks ensure acceleration, traction and braking
grip; on-road, the multi-pitch knob layout is able to reduce contact
vibrations, and it contributes to maximize wear uniformity and deliver
effective mileage.
-
Longitudinal grooves in the middle of the central blocks provide water
evacuation and self-cleaning ability form dirt.
-
Wide transversal grooves contribute to make central blocks to dig the
soil, providing off-road traction especially on dirt and hard-packed
clay soils.
-
The variable shape of the block, together with their V-shaped layout
ensures multiple operating edges that enhance off-road traction.
-
Big lateral blocks ensure a large contact patch when leaning,
providing cornering grip and stability even at high speed.
Integration with electronic rider aids
KAROO Street’s ensure an optimal integration with electronic rider
aids such as ABS and traction control.
-
The combination of the extra-large blocks with their V-shaped layout
and the high stiffness of the tyre structure enables a high level of
stability, traction and smooth rolling, providing a clean signal and
information transmitted to the ABS, Traction Control and other rider
electronic aids, not interfered by tread patter vibrations or
deformations typically found with other knobbly tyres.
