King Tire Indonesia (TYRE) Supplies Tires for Convertible Motorcycle Racing

KONTAN.CO.ID – JAKARTA. PT King Tire Indonesia Tbk (TYRE), is committed to supporting the development of converted motorcycles, including the use of these motorcycles in the racing world.

Recently, TYRE enlivened the PLN EV Race Conversion 2024 racing event held at the Sentul Karting International Circuit last weekend. This competition was held by PT PLN together with the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and the Indonesian Electric Motorcycle Industry Association (Aismoli).

Joko Suseno, Marketing Division of King Tire Indonesia said that his party participated in the event as a supplier of Kingland brand tires for converted electric motorcycles used by racers.

“Here, Kingland tires are present as a product that is ready to support the racing world,” he said in a press release received by Kontan, Tuesday (24/9).

In this case, King Tire Indonesia provides a pair of free Kingland tires for converted motorcycles that are competed in each registration. TYRE also provides free tire installation and removal facilities and services at its booth at the Sentul circuit.

The tire installation is certainly assisted by professional mechanics in their fields, considering that the motorbikes used for racing have different specifications than motorbikes in general.

“In the world of motorbike racing, everything must be based on data and measurements in order to produce maximum racing. For example, tire pressure must be adjusted to the weight of the rider and the motorbike he is riding,” he said.

Meanwhile, a racer named Saugi won first place in the 2 KW Individual class conversion motorbike race in the 2024 PLN EV Race Conversion event. He felt the great benefits of the Kingland tires installed on his motorbike.

Saugi assessed that Kingland tires provided reliable and safe performance on conversion motorbikes during the race. Although conventional motorbike racing techniques and conversion motorbikes are almost the same, there are some different details. Tire performance clearly plays a crucial role in the success of a racer in a championship.

“As long as I use Kingland tires in conversion motorbike races, these tires are safe and reliable,” he explained.

Then, he hopes that Kingland tires can continue to be improved, following the speed of conversion racing motorbikes which also continue to develop in terms of technology.
