Kingtyre Kingtyre K97 Sport Touring

The Kingtyre K97 Sport Touring is a high-quality radial tyre for sport and touring riders seeking the perfect balance between lifespan, grip and stability. Dual-compound technology combines a harder centre section for extended life during long rides with softer shoulders for superior cornering grip.

The zero-degree steel-belt construction guarantees exceptional high-speed stability — in 2024, French rider Philippe Le Peru hit 271 mph on a turbo-Hayabusa wearing a pair of K97s, an impressive feat. The silica-enriched compound boosts wet grip, and the optimised tread design ensures uniform wear and excellent water evacuation.
