MRF Steel Brace Launched In India: Know Every Detail About This Premium Sports Bike Radial Tyre

With the Steel Brace, MRF intends to give an affordable premium radial tyre solution for entry-level 200-500cc sportbikes, a segment which is currently on a boom in India.

To cater to the new breed of entry-level sport bikes in India, MRF has launched a new premium radial tyre range called Steel Brace. Specifically made for 200-500cc high-performance sportbikes, the new MRF Steel Brace claims to enhance grip levels and responsiveness of the motorcycle under heavy braking and acceleration.

Current Scenario Of Entry-Level High-Performance Motorcycles

In India, the category of 200-500cc sportbikes has become a more aspirational space to look up to by youngsters, who were previously considering 150-160cc motorcycles as their first motorcycles. It all started with the KTM Duke range, with the craze reaching new heights with the KTM RC range, 310cc motorcycles from BMW, Bajaj Dominar range and Honda CB300R. 

And now, with the advent of the all-new Triumph Speed 400, the segment of entry-level high-performance motorcycles is only set to revolutionize with new benchmarks.

How Does MRF Steel Brace Intend To Fill The Void?

Currently, there are limited options of tubeless tyres for entry-level high-performance motorcycles that can match the true potential of these motorcycles. The newly-launched MRF Steel Brace claims to be the perfect match for such motorcycles, where people expect extraordinary performance even under extreme conditions.

To make them match the calibre of the high-end motorcycles, the proficient R&D team of MRF Tyres have spent a long time in extensive testing to make the technology feel rewarding in real-world racing conditions.

What Makes MRF Steel Brace Special?

For now, MRF has launched the Steel Brace in two tyre sizes – 110/70 ZR17 54W (front) and 150/60 ZR17 66W (rear). Both these tyre sizes are common to a range of motorcycles, including the entire Duke and RC range from KTM, BMW G 310 R and G 310 RR, TVS Apache RR310, Bajaj Dominar range, Honda CB300R and the recently-launched Triumph Speed 400. 

This makes the MRF Steel Brace highly versatile, aside from its prime qualities in enhancing the rideability of these motorcycles.
