Kingtyre K97 Sport On-Road Tire: Advanced Engineering for Precision, Grip, and Longevity

Redefining On-Road Performance

Motorcycle tires are more than components—they are the critical link between machine and road. According to a 2023 survey by Motorcycle Industry Council, 72% of riders rank tire grip as the most important factor influencing their riding confidence.

The Kingtyre K97 Sport On-Road Tire has been meticulously engineered to satisfy this demand, blending precision handling, enhanced grip, and exceptional longevity. Whether you ride through congested city streets, lean into sweeping mountain curves, or push limits on weekend track days, the K97 is designed to outperform.

Performance Engineering Backed by Data

The K97’s tread pattern is optimized for maximum traction. Independent track tests conducted at Jiangsu Proving Grounds (2024) showed:

• +18% improvement in wet braking distance compared to conventional sport tires.
• 15% higher cornering stability at lean angles above 40°.
• Extended tread life by 20% under mixed riding conditions (city + highway).

The silica-enriched compound enhances wet grip, while the multi-ply carcass construction improves high-speed stability up to 270 km/h.
