Built for riders who value confident cornering, high-speed stability and dependable road grip, these radial tyres bring performance-focused technology to more compatible motorcycles. The wider size range also makes it easier to find an option that matches your bike’s recommended specifications.

Fitment can vary by motorcycle variant and model year. Always confirm the manufacturer-recommended tyre specification before purchase.
A performance tyre needs more than a sporty tread pattern. The Eurogrip Protorq Extreme tyre combines radial construction, compound technology and contour tuning to support demanding riding.
Steel cords wrap around the carcass at zero degrees. This construction supports high-speed stability, high cornering stiffness and improved structural puncture resistance compared with traditional bias-ply options.
The compound uses high-structure carbon and a tri-polymer formulation. It balances quick tyre warm-up, tread mileage and high-traction durability. For riders, faster warm-up helps the tyre reach its intended operating behaviour sooner during a ride.
The groove layout supports a larger contact patch and dry-road lean performance. Strategically positioned grooves also support efficient water evacuation on wet tarmac.
The Eurogrip Protorq Extreme tyre also uses structure and contour tuning to provide progressive feedback at higher lean angles. This supports predictable responses and precision during fast cornering.
These sports bike tyres are aimed at riders seeking performance-oriented road characteristics. Depending on the chosen size, the range serves sport motorcycles, entry-level sport models and everyday commuters.
They can suit riders who value:
Tyre suitability still depends on the motorcycle's approved specification. The expanded range should not be treated as a universal fit for every sport motorcycle.
Start with the tyre dimensions listed in your motorcycle owner's manual. Then match the position, load index and speed rating.
For example, the W-rated 110/70 ZR17 front and 150/60 ZR17 rear options support speeds up to 270 km/h based on their rating. H-rated rear options listed above are rated up to 210 km/h. These ratings indicate tyre capability under specified test conditions. They are not recommendations to ride at those speeds.
For riders comparing sports bike tyres, correct fitment should always take priority over simply choosing a wider or higher-rated tyre.
The expanded Eurogrip Protorq Extreme tyre range availability can vary by size and seller.
Prices for standard performance configurations generally sit in the ₹3,600 to ₹7,900 range, depending on tyre size, H or W speed rating and the chosen outlet.
Warranty support covers manufacturing defects for seven years from the manufacturing date, valid down to the standard 0.8 mm tread wear limit. Non-manufacturing damage receives cover for up to three years or 50% tread wear, whichever comes first.
More sizes mean more riders can now consider the Eurogrip Protorq Extreme tyre while searching for a compatible performance-focused option. Its zero-degree steel belt radial construction, tri-polymer compound, optimised grooves and tuned contour address important demands such as stability, cornering response, traction and wet-road water evacuation.
Before buying, confirm your motorcycle's recommended size, load index and speed rating. For your next set of two-wheeler tyres, consider Eurogrip and select a tyre specification that matches your motorcycle and riding needs.
